It's Miller's stillness that always strikes me most, the concentration on Powell's words that presages his evisceration of the hideous bigot. It's more drive-by than debate. The racists who pose as 'intellectuals' remain much more insidious than their more 'honest' counterparts. twitter.com/EddieBurfi/sta…

What an asset @GaryLineker is to the BBC. A complete & consummate broadcaster who's been there & done everything. A golden boot winner who can control and contribute to studio discussions with epic expertise. Mad that right-wing media spend so much time trying to bring him down.

Apropos that census, I wonder what it could possibly be about the English, Christian, goal-scoring hero Marcus Rashford that so upsets a certain type of 'patriot'...

@mrjamesob
Very considerate of all the racists whining about changing demographics to demonstrate that many of the people professing to be 'Christian' are nothing of the sort.

Rishi Sunak, meanwhile, is vowing to reduce the number of foreign students coming to the U.K. to pay through the nose for a degree… twitter.com/GermanEmbassy/…

I see @afneil, publisher of the rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit Spectator, is wondering in the rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit Daily Mail why the latest rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit government is such an almighty disaster… 🤔

If you think the people who voted to keep Matt Hancock in the jungle are easily manipulated, just wait until you hear about Brexit.

He doesn’t accept the long term damage done by Truss & Kwarteng either. I sometimes wonder how much of the utterly delusional politics we now endure is down to Brexit’s denigration of experts & how much is down to Johnson’s constant bare-faced & consequence-free lying. twitter.com/skynews/status…

Really stopped me in my tracks, this call. The rhetoric surrounding refugees & death trap dinghies is utterly toxic. I don’t think Dan should have been so hard on himself… twitter.com/lbc/status/159…

On of the most tireless & unpleasant abusers of 'Remainers' in the whole of the British media demanding a truce just as the absolute idiocy of Brexit becomes utterly undeniable. How very, very predictable... twitter.com/rolandmcs/stat…

Braverman led expertly by @timloughton to the realisation that if she continues talking she will be forced to admit that the only way for a refugee to get here is in a dinghy. So she stops talking... twitter.com/PippaCrerar/st…

It's astonishing that they *still* think we will somehow secure arrangements that offer the UK special dispensations from rules that everyone else follows. Not least because the rules only seem onerous if you start off believing that you shouldn't have to follow any... twitter.com/pmdfoster/stat…
