🧵It is wrong to describe the proposed action by barristers on 11/4/22 a ‘strike’, still less as “totally unwarranted” as Dominic Rabb did in the Commons last week. Imagine you were a jobbing builder, with a full diary of jobs of your own to do. 1/

Rishi Sunak:
"Only the Conservatives can be trusted with taxpayers money"
£4bn in fraud written off.
£37b for a non existent Test and Trace system.
Fraudulent contracts to their friends.
I laughed out loud. I had no idea he was an aspiring right wing stand up.

… and here’s the letter.
Sir Keir Starmer writes to Lord Bew calling for unprecedented review of Evgeny Lebedev’s peerage.
He says Bew must publish original advice in which appointments commission blocked it.
In March 2020, they cited security concerns raised by intelligence.

Tominey says the EU “has been excruciatingly slow to react”.
All 27 national governments of the EU agreed, announced & implemented its Ukraine asylum policy within 7 days of the invasion.
Meanwhile, Brexit Britain still hasn’t announced its Ukraine asylum scheme after 16 days.

Some good news! In the case of the Women vs the Met Police, in which the police tried to silence the Sarah Everard vigil, the Women won 👏👏👏

This shit is not good enough.
This country is not good enough.
This government is a disgrace.
To help a #Ukrainian family stuck in Calais I have just called a U.K. visa hotline number. After being on hold, pressing various options to speak to an agent for advice. A recorded message told me we can’t help you right now. This is what is happening to #Ukrainian refugees.

Is this relevant?
