Tom Tugendhat in Sunday Times insists on leaving the ECHR to tackle βsoaringβ immigration. What a miserable rat. Lying to us all. Betraying our countryβs best interests. Threatening to flounce out of our human rights framework, trashing our treaties and torching our protection from abuses of power.

Crypto billionaire. Convicted in the US. Pardoned by Trump. Trashing our democracy by buying Reform. Does anyone think this is to improve our NHS, our schools, our public servicesβ¦? Of course it fucking isnβt. Itβs to make Ben Delo and Farage richer. Thatβs it. Thatβs all they care about.

Essential thread.
90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short π§΅)

Me, looking around the old place today. Wowβ¦ just WOW! Thereβs still magic in the air. π #SaveSquareChapelArts ππ» #Halifax #WatchThisSpace
Iβm going for a viewing at #SquareChapelArtsCentre Halifax tomorrow, to see what state itβs in after it fell into darkness. Even if Iβm unable to save it (& Iβd dearly love to) letβs hope thereβs some kindly, art-loving benefactor out there who cares enough about it to do so! ππ» π€ π

The man who beat two female protesters with his cane at the Reform conference has been identified as Stephen Cooling - itβs actually there on his conference tag - former UKIP candidate for Erdington and now member of Reformβs Sutton Coldfield branch. Presumably West Mids Police have enough info now
