Dear BBC, a gentle reminder that this is written on the side of your fucking headquarters. If I were you, I’d be sacking the chairman who withheld the truth, NOT the presenter who told it.
Pharmacy2U no contacts available! I signed up with Pharmacy2U for medicines by post. They got the order wrong. No contact phone or email available, no longer their customer...

P&O Ferries furloughed 1400 of its staff during the pandemic, costing the taxpayer £10m.
They also asked us for a £150m bailout.
Its parent company then paid out £250m to shareholders.
Now pandemic's over, they're sacking the British staff we supported.

He’s been briefed the reports a disaster , it finishes him off , he’s not willing to let go, he’s doing everything he can to kick it down the road and stay in power. I never thought our country could be as bad as it is right now!

Please retweet if you want Labour, LibDems and Greens to form a Progressive Alliance at the next election in order to oust the Tories and introduce PR.

The 'Order of Nine Angles' actively promotes terrorism and sexual violence. They should be proscribed under terror legislation so the police can get to work breaking the group up.
I'm calling on the @ukhomeoffice to act against #O9A now.

Please sign and retweet.... #StopTheCoup
This is a coup.
We won't let Boris Johnson suspend democracy.
We will resist: with marches, civil disobedience and protests in every corner of the country.
Sign and share the pledge to resist No Deal. Let's show how many of us there are. #StopTheCoup

Pleased to have signed this letter to @BorisJohnson - there is no political mandate for a reckless no deal Brexit. It would cause huge economic damage to our country- please RT if you believe he should #RecallNow
This is a national emergency. There is no mandate for an undemocratic no deal #Brexit. Reckless Johnson + unelected Cummings want to gag our democracy. We have written to the PM to demand he recalls Parliament. RT if you believe @BorisJohnson should #RecallNow

I know some of the staffers on tonight’s Panorama. They joined the Labour Party, like me and most party members, because they hate racism as much as they hate poverty. A statement accusing them of having “political axes to grind” is deeply wrong and indefensible

Tom is right!
Thank you @tom_watson for saying what should have been said in 2016. The European Union represents our values of solidarity, freedom & internationalism. Building peace & prosperity from the ravages of war. Brexit is and always has been a right wing Tory project.
