The Government has apparently drawn up plans to broaden the definition of extremism to include anyone who โ€œunderminesโ€ the countryโ€™s institutions and its values.

I do that.

Should I be worried? A thread....

Populism is politics which seeks to exploit rather than solve problems, and to turn any issue, trivial or serious, into an exercise in polarisation. We now have a government that seems to be actively agitating for trouble on November 11. โ€œMarches of hateโ€ was Step 1. 1/4

In their very different ways D Cummings and H MacNamara have highlighted the hopeless way the UK- or parts of it- is governed.. the lack of scrutiny and accountability on many levels .. the hazy, overlapping lines of responsibility , the difficulty in removing incompetentโ€ฆ

The Isle of Wight today, the most polluted location in the SE.

8 ongoing sewage releases, ranging between 27 and 60 hours. In Cowes, 3 are happening at once.

Why is Bob Seely MP not publicly berating Southern Water for what they're doing to that beautiful island? ๐Ÿ˜ก

Dominic Minghella It breaks my heart that my beautiful daughter had her cancer treatment โ€˜postponedโ€™ on the day of lockdown. She obeyed all their rules, hopingher treatment would resume quickly. She spent her last days alone in her flat, instead of enjoying herself travelling and going to parties.

We kinda knew those fateful days in March were the product of shocking chaos and arrogance, but now we know for sure, and this flashback to 2020 feels all the more galling. Our Covid story could have been so, so different.

Ever-brilliant James O'Brien drawing distinction between Johnson and Cummings, suggesting the former was in it for himself, and the latter was in it for a (misguided) 'greater good'. Truth is, what they shared was key: an utterly messianic conviction in their own fitness to lead.

The 'big calls' were Brexit and Covid. Johnson got both of them disgracefully, disgustingly and disastrously wrong.

We kinda knew Johnson just wanted people to get on and die, but hard evidence is another thing. If there is no law which locks up such a man, there should be.

The UK Covid-19 Inquiry is a very powerful example of how โ€œduty of candourโ€ and โ€œfreedom to speak upโ€ donโ€™t work in public life. Witness after witness details how incompetent they thought the UK response was at the time, and yet nobody spoke publicly about it at the time. Why not?

Anyone - politician, donor, think tank or journalist - who helped Boris Johnson become Prime Minister, should not be allowed anywhere near senior positions in public life again. Some of us knew from the word go he would be a total disaster and everything we are hearing 1/3

Best for Britain Not sure what job would suit the skill set of โ€œthe most selfish & irresponsible human being I think Iโ€™ve ever metโ€ (Max Hastings).

The real scandal is how many well-connected people knew how unsuitable this man was for high office from the beginning.

Why is anyone surprised?
