“The cowardice of today’s elites bending the knee to authoritarianism”. 100percent. We recorded tomorrow’s @RestIsPolitics QandA before this story broke but my God were we right to point out the awful weakness and smugness of the BBC voices who spoke yesterday.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The frustrating thing to me about the quote from this article is that the columnist knows, and the Conservatives know, and Labour knows, that Brexit was an awful economic and geopolitical error. This was obvious in my view in 2016 and it’s ten times more obvious now, for the reasons outlined in the article. The issue is that none of the above have yet summoned up the courage to explain to the electorate that we really have no option but to rejoin the single market and customs union as soon as possible. Europe has to strengthen and work together in an increasingly uncertain world, and the U.K. is a vital part of Europe. Everyone in any sort of position of responsibility or power knows it. Basically our political class is bullshitting the electorate. And as I’ve said before, you can convince people to vote to abolish gravity but they will be very annoyed when they hit the ground.

"Our economic model is bust. Being a services superpower is not enough" Nick Timothy, strong Brexit proponent, concludes in the Telegraph there's a rise of regional protectionism but then doesn't join the dots to the only country outside that protectionism because of Brexit.

Sadly this is not science fiction. Should we not be planning on a 100 year basis ? Five years really doesn’t cut it for a successful future
Matthew Todd 🌏🔥@MrMatthewTodd

The day has come when the Daily Mail is reporting climate change more accurately (on one story) than the BBC who have not even reported this story, despite it being real, and being the number one lead story on CNN on Friday @deborahturness The BBC seems absolutely unwilling to tell its viewers the full magnitude of the threat we face - because of a mixture of political interference and lack of editorial interest and understanding. dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar…

@fasc1nate In 1995, U.S. and Canadian wildlife officials released 14 wolves in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring.

This is such an important point. Prevention is such an important investment. It helps the individual and helps us as a society.
amanda kelly FRSA@amkelMD

@QuentinTatton The reason is the cost of adults and children’s services are going through the roof. Funding is an issue but we can’t keep pouring money into services without fundamentally changing things. We need to see prevention as an investment.

Why is this having to be considered? Funding for local government is all over the place. There are statutory requirements that must be met by the ratepayers of Cheshire East. So the council are forced to consider options that are just plainly wrong.

Here’s another good deed for the day. This chap in his Skoda Enyaq was struggling to charge, 2 mins and all sorted. It’s almost always the charge port actuator folks. 99/100 it can be sorted within two mins with a flat head screwdriver and some lubricant 👍🏻

56 parking spaces, 56 chargers in place. Even those that don’t run EVs contributed to this as per parking space, the cost was £75. Future proofed 👌🏼

I have a message from the Netherlands for every Councillor, every Parliamentarian, and every Assembly Member in the country who thinks the U.K’s roads are safe enough for your children. Get on board or get gone.

After the coma I was in a geriatric ward. Some of the agency night nurses seemed irritated. One wouldn't let me have the buzzer. One got cross when I fell out of bed. I was lonely and called home. Emma couldn't come in. At least you, Boris were having parties though. That's good
