Here's "Two-Tier Policing" in action
5 Racists were protected by dozens of police yesterday in Brighton from a huge crowd of peaceful, caring humans
The city was shut down for hours, buses rerouted, shops and pubs boarded up, so 5 Racists could exercise their right to be racist – at Brighton, England

In red - people who agree with Nigel Farage.
In green - people who disagree with Nigel Farage.
This is who we really are…

ME: The thing is, it’s actually pretty incredible just to *be* in the final two. Turning up, giving all you’ve got and falling short to a better opponent is no shame. In almost every way that matters, second place is a victory in itself
CLIENT: *STARES AS IS TAKEN DOWN TO CELLS*

Our prisons are overflowing , yet 5 peaceful protestors have been remanded awaiting sentences for protesting climate breakdown . . . here's a radical idea– stop jailing protestors . They're not the fire , they're raising the alarm !

In year 7 at Calder High School Mrs. Gardner was one of my most fun teachers. I don’t think either of us imagined that years later we’d both be part of a new intake of fantastic Labour MPs @AllisonCGardner

There are many reasons to be cautious - but the tone-shift of this administration is palpable. Great to see such a bold attitude at last.
I am delighted to announce that Chris Stark will be our head Head of Mission Control for Clean Power by 2030.
We are bringing together the brightest and best to deliver our national mission to cut bills and make Britain energy independent.
Welcome @StarkClimate to the team!

1. This is a thread about a new form of political organising, which proved spectacularly successful in this election, and that other constituencies would do well to adopt. It’s a means of navigating our unfair, unrepresentative first-past-the-post electoral system. 🧵

🗳 #ElectionResults are in !
Of the 32 'Net-Zero Scrutiny Group' members that @DeSmog identified, only 8 were re-elected.
That means the 24 MPs most responsible for #climate obstruction were voted out! 🎉🥳

Interesting – and v welcome – factoid via Greenpeace:

"Why do you stay up for the election, you could just get the result in the morning"
This. This is why.
ALT A man from the actual Victorian era stands befuddledly next to the love child of Mr Blobby and a full English. This is genuinely how British elections look, and I couldn't love it more

Bye-bye to my former Tory MP @AnthonyMangnal1. We didn’t forget how you voted on sewage, nor the donation you got from Alexander Darwall, anti-wild camping landowner. And you’ve been defeated by an extraordinary grassroots movement of progressives @SDevonPrimary
