Iβve been watching Johnson since 6:30pm. He has answered precisely zero questions. Every answer is bluster, bluff, bombastic bullshit that ends with βto deliver Brexitβ. What a cretinous, shameful wank stain of a man he is.
This fucking idiot walked with the National Front. Fuck him, fuck fascism, fuck his knighthood, fuck The System, and fuck you for giving him a platform.
I want every single teacher, nurse, barrister, rail worker, cleaner, porter, refuse collector, worker of any kind, etc., to know that I am standing right there with them if they opt to strike. Solidarity forever.
#GeneralStrike
Boris Johnson is not on a camping holiday.
Boris Johnson was not in intensive care for COVID.
Boris Johnson is a habitual liar.
And thatβs not even the worst of it.
Not going to lie, I know nothing of Caroline Flack or the stories about her personal life of late but, dear Lord, how many more people have to die before we understand that scum rags & their rabid journalists are the bane of our nation? Politically, socially, culturally.
#Enough
Hey, UK. Letβs play a politics game. Weβre British, after all..
Name the MP who NEVER engages in abuse. Who, no matter the facts, is RELENTLESSLY abused with smears, lies & rancid slander. & who RARELY has anyone with a platform publicly condemning the abuse he receives.
#Corbyn
Daily Mail βWith a bag for life on each shoulder straddling his old Raleigh racer, Jeremy Corbyn gears up for a return to Parliament. The Labour Leader also wore a human rights T-shirt on a trip to local shops yesterdayβ

Iβm a Londoner, born and raised. Iβve seen some fucked-up gentrified super fuckery in my time, but this has to be the absolute dumbest shit Iβve ever seen. Honestly, I despair at the big bag of bollocks this godforsaken island has become. Christ.
βJeremy Corbyn represents the only realistic chance the people of England and Wales have been given in decades, to escape from the neo-liberal economics that have impoverished vast swathes of the population.β

A solidarity story.. Chile has the largest Palestinian community outside the Middle East, & the football club- Club Deportivo Palestino. The club added the Celtic crest above a Palestinian flag on the new shirts in acknowledgment of the solidarity shown for Palestine by

Had a very big urge to stand in the middle of Waitrose and start singing, βOh, Jeremy Corbynβ, this morning. I didnβt. But the urge was strong, man.
My kids school had an Eid party today. As if that wasnβt exciting enough, my little girl came bouncing home holding a gift from her friend; a shalwar kameez. She loves it! β€οΈ

@zarahsultana
Zarah, youβve used your voice well, no doubt about it. However, as the voice shouting from the front of the crowd at the Palestine marches telling you that you should leave Labour, I feel I must tell you here too. The Labour Party sullies you. You are better than that. Walk away.
I hard stand with Ken Loach. Imagine years of fighting for social justice - using your platform and immense talent to show the world what real life inequity looks like - to being next in line for the witch-hunt because of it. What an absolutely phenomenal geezer. Stand strong.

is trending because Iβve been moaning about them all day. Good to know Iβm not alone. Horrid little fuckers. The flying ants, that is.
This is exhausting. Fuck Starmer & fuck Labour. Iβll always support Corbyn, but Iβm so done with this toxic Labour shite. Starmerβs Labour is corrupt. Comrades, just keep living good lives, look out for one another, use your activism, but wash your hands of Labour. Itβs bollocks.
Jo Swinson is dreadful. Awful, ghastly, beyond vacuous. So sorry for those that were sucked in by her repulsive deceit. An absolute fuck up of a woman.
Amber Rudd is complicit in every single part of the destruction of our country. Sheβs neither courageous nor principled. Sheβs a rabid Tory who just canβt be arsed anymore.
Just two months ago Sam Gyimah wanted to lead the Conservative Party. Today he joined the Liberal Democrats. This says so much.. There really is very little difference between the two.
#YellowTories
Let me get this straight. Under Corbyn, antisemitism was allegedly not dealt with sufficiently because of him personally. Under Starmer, antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-black racism & prejudice towards those on the left has been PROVEN to be systemic but itβs all good. Yes?
@KayBurley
The only flustering we see is not from Mr Lynch. The βBritish publicβ are also the workers. And, as someone who depends on the train network on a daily basis, I wish to express my complete & unconditional support & solidarity with all those rightly striking today.
My little boy is 8 years old. Today, his teacher called me over to show me what he had written in their Extended Writing lesson. The task was to write a diary entry as Rosa Parks. This is his work.

Hi Jess. Just dropped my 2 (native language) English-speaking children at their English-speaking school in Whitechapel. I had a few conversations at the school gates (in English) with some of the parents & teachers. I think your agenda is probably not suited to London, my dear.
There she goes.. Last day of Primary School. Happy as anything, full of dreams.. And here I am, her silly mum, with tears in my eyes and a heart thatβs breaking a little..
Hi amigos. This Londoner has walked from the City, through βNo-Goβ Tower Hamlets into βNo-Goβ Hackney. Not only am I not radicalised, injured, distressed or, indeed, dead, Iβve also exchanged a number of hellos with my fellow beings as we crossed paths. Extraordinary!
Starmer, Hoyle, Welby. Three gormless, aging white men with way too much sway. Repulsive compromised frauds who should be called out, then shunned.
Thatβs you,
@Keir_Starmer
, you
@LindsayHoyle_MP
, & you
@JustinWelby
. For absolute shame.
Also, fuck our national anthem. Itβs an absolute pile of shit. Iβll never sing it. And I dare one right-wing, flag-shagging, jingoistic schlemiel to come at me with their βwell, if you donβt like British [insert any old bollocks here]β. Bring it, bitch.
Iβm a Londoner. I rely on the Tube. Itβs a lifeline for myself and my children coming and going from work and school. So I just want to state that I stand in complete and unmoving solidarity with all London Underground workers and the
#TubeStrike
. Do your thing. We are with you.
Hey, beloved comrades. Letβs see this night through. Tomorrow we carry on. Do not give up on the socialist project, support alternative media, do not suppress your voice. There are people counting on us. I am going nowhere. I will always have your back, & I know youβve got mine.
Not gonna lie, it was quite the nightmare driving through London because of the
#TubeStrike
. But no where near as nightmarish as not being paid or appreciated properly for the work you do. Solidarity to all Underground staff on strike. Do what youβve got to do. Always with you.βπ½
Hey,
@guardian
. What happened to you? Your integrity? How dβyou get so low? Ethically, morally, factually, judicially. How? What an entire fuck up you are at the very time our country needs truth, fairness, composure, perspective, facts. I detest what youβve become. Shame on you.
I really want Jo Swinson to take part in the TV debate. But only on condition that, when itβs her turn to speak, Chuka Umunna & Luciana Berger are standing behind her nodding and being gormless.
My little girl told her younger brother that the things beneath his willy are full of tadpoles. I now find myself in a surreal kind of mayhem I did not foresee.
This is categorically a load of shit. Bethnal Green is buzzing. Day & night. From Weavers Fields, past the Salmon & Ball, down to Vicky Park. This is the East End. By the City. Weβre warm, loving people of all colours & creeds. Stop using our parish to spout your racist bollocks.
Itβs my little girlβs birthday today. To celebrate, & for the sake of herβs & her brotherβs future, I joined the Greens! My (lifelong Labour supporting) parents & fella are joining too. Happy with this new home. Yeah. Bring it. π

So, can we point out to people that they donβt even want you talking about the

now.
Why is that?
Iβll never understand how hubris-filled centrist thickos were convinced by their ilk in the media that this jam-making, courgette-growing, peace-loving geezer was a Continental-hating spy for Eastern European political machines who espoused religious prejudice. Bonkers.
Ahead of South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, I spoke with
@andrewfeinstein
about our responsibility to speak up for Palestine, for peace and for our shared humanity.
Our wonderful neighbours brought us some of their iftar. They always include us in their celebrations, and we try to do the same with ours. So grateful for them. One big massive love.

11 years a mum.. Itβs this little treacleβs birthday today. Here she is dressed as a Swedish Easter witch. (Honestly, donβt ask. This familyβs mad enough as it is..) Just want to share how much I adore my little girl. Sheβs made of so much love. π

I know what it's like to be part of a scapegoated community.
That's why I can't stand-by as the Tories whip-up hate towards the Gypsy & Traveller community.
Today I spoke out against their bigotry.

Use your platform correctly, FFS.
This should say:
βIt is wholly abhorrent to deport anyone, regardless of birthplace, whose home is the UK, whether convicted of a criminal offence, or not. Weβre going to tell you why so you can go out there & educate everyone you know.β
Punto.
@BBCTalkback
It isnβt losing its balance, it has already LOST its balance. We are too far gone with BBC Politics, News & current affairs. Shockingly so. All thatβs left is for you to get Boris Johnson to read the CBeebies Bedtime Story entitled, βGrandpa Jeremy is a Very, Very Bad Manβ.
Morning, Comrades! When the time comes, letβs all do a Rochdale. Getting the Tories out means getting ALL Tories out. Whether they wear blue, or that shit red-purple shade that Starmerβs partial to. Vote Green/Independent/those that put people first & who love peace, not war.
Iβm from a working class family. My dad worked hard, never once complained, gave to others, loved Rivelino & Dalglish, taught us that we should always walk with The People, stick together, have purpose. Heβs now retired, loves a pint, is forever Labour & knows Johnson is a prick.
Sorry. I know thereβs a lot going on but I feel the need to state how much of a prick Ed Balls is. Heβs up there, ainβt he? Prick of the highest magnitude.
