It now falls to Priti Patel to appoint a new Commissioner qualified & determined to root out the racism, homophobia, bullying, and discrimination in the Met Police. Irony. Dead.

My family lived in both Germanys. I grew up w/ the reality of separation, watched it cementing, then softening, then disappearing. With my own eyes, I have seen the fall of the Berlin Wall. Sanity will prevail in the end. Even if it takes time. Don't give up. #Brexit #PeoplesVote

@ByDonkeys From Germany: You rescued us. Twice. It is because of you I live in freedom. We're so grateful. We're not your enemy. We don't wish you any harm. Please, don't think that. Good luck on your journey. You're not far away. Knock on our door any time. You're always welcome.

Just to be clear: I do not just expect #BorisJohnson to step down. I expect the entire government to step down. It's the least you can do.

@JamesTCobbler Making people wear clothing or signs that identify them as offenders is only one thing: humiliation. Scientifically, humiliation is the strongest human emotion. Stronger than love, sorrow, or hate. Nothing, but nothing good comes of it. It's mere cruelty.

Some yrs ago, around Xmas, I went to my bank. That yr, I had made pesto as gifts for neighbours etc. I took a jar for my loan officer who excused herself & returned explaining she'd asked her manager if it was ok to accept this. That's where integrity starts. With a jar of pesto.

By refusing to step down, #BorisJohnson has just managed to take his entire party with him.

Two tweets I saw this evening jokingly claim that people in the EU are sitting back with popcorn, watching with delight as problems in the UK mount. I just want to say that I've no schadenfreude nor pleasure in watching the UK struggle. Nor do I know anyone who does.

Tonight, again, I look at the UK, in disbelief. Since 2016, at every corner, every junction, the wrong, the worst turn. Ignorant, arrogant choices. Abandonement of people, of nations. Sacrifice of principles, of laws. Systematic erosion of democracy, equality, fairness. A mess.

It's not a Chinese virus or a Trump vaccine. It's not Britain's success. It is a worldwide pandemic, a human tragedy, and an international rescue effort. Some find it hard to wrap their narrow minds around that.

Thinking about it rationally, what are the chances that 2.7m people feel spontaneously and simultaneously too lazy to work? Is it not much more plausible that they are, in fact, ill? And would it not be better journalism to explore why and report about that?

So during #PMQs , the Prime Minister is not allowed to lie and no-one is allowed to call him a liar. In both cases, the Speaker has to intervene. Why doesn't he?

I won't even discuss the UK's racism report, because even I as a white, middle-class, university-educated, privileged woman who went to a Catholic girls school knows this is absolute bullocks.

Frankly, I don't care what anyone says. When I see someone drowning or lost at sea, I will save them. And I honestly don't give a toss what you think. This is not a debate.

Steve Tuckwell, new Tory MP for Uxbridge (recount permitting) blames Sadiq Khan's Ulez policy for the Labour loss. The very policy introduced by ... [drum roll] ... his own predecessor, Boris Johnson. Irony is dead & I wonder DO VOTERS NOT INFORM THEMSELVES AT ALL?!?

Can we all please remember that it was Emmanuel Macron who made Boris Johnson lock down? It was Macron who saved lives on either side of the Channel by curbing interaction & slowing the spread. It was France that saved English lives.
