THREAD: 1. PERSONAL NEWS: Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

You’ve got to hand it to Russell Brand; painting himself as an outlier and rebel, persecuted by the system, when the reason why this took so long to come out was he has lots of money and power that allowed him to use the system to be quite litigiously nasty.

Democracies are disappearing. “Of 195 nations on earth, just 34 are liberal democracies — where citizens have rights to free speech, free press, free and fair elections, and other liberties.” 👉🏻 axios.com/democracy-autocrac…

!!! Ukraine's Interior ministry asked residents to take down street signs in order to confuse oncoming Russian troops. The state road-signs agency went one step further. (Roughly: all directions are to "go fuck yourselves")

BREAKING: High Court has ruled that the government broke the law by failing to protect care home residents from Covid-19 during the pandemic. The govt claimed it had put a 'protective ring' around them. The High Court has decided it failed. Huge moment for families of victims.

When you're not doing so well, vote for a better life for yourself. If you are doing quite nicely, vote for a better life for others.

Despite promises on testing – six out of ten care homes still aren’t allowing relatives face to face visits. We visit homes that have gone the extra mile to let relatives meet this year. #ITVTonight's 'Care Homes: The Long Year Alone?’ with @PaulBrandITV at 7:30pm.

This is an emergency situation and we are taking appropriate emergency measures, including removing President Trump's video. We removed it because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.
