Really feel quite sickened. We use the phrase 'performative cruelty' quite a lot. The thing is, it feels awful to watch acts of cruelty. But to see people behave cruelly specifically because they think it'll make them more popular is so much worse.

341 weeks. Still waiting for justice. Every day I hear of some new obscenity and get angrier. All the more so when i think that #Daphnecaruanagalizia should be here, writing about it, uncovering wrongdoing, holding power to account. We must be her voice now #occupyjustice 🍃

Cheers 🍻 to that

Where is Bella Donita?
#WhereisSangitaMyska ?
In a strange coincidence both have been removed off air suddenly after they questioning an Israeli official and held them to account.
Isn't being a balanced journalist about holding people to account no matter what side they are on?

Chris Patten has just murdered the party of which he was Chairman. It’s all in here - the bilge of Brexit, the worst foreign policy error ever made, and the insanity of the right wing cult’s grip on this once great political machine. Pure gold, spread it.

Well done Paul Caruana Galizia

I love Private Eye. Soooo faking funny but on the money at the same time!

Junior doctors start their careers on £29,384.

There is not a single Conservative MP who would be prepared to do their jobs for that salary.

If we’re not careful there won’t be a single junior doctor who is prepared to do so either.

Is anyone pointing out to the Immigration Minister this morning that Sunak’s #RwandaBill seeks to disaply human rights, puts the UK in breach of its international legal obligations & is a shameless power grab that will put the Government above the law?

Rwanda bill an expensive & self defeatingly cruel symbol of damage Tory Governments do.

It won’t stop boats, will waste millions of taxpayer cash & still refugees will be at risk of harm under our watch. No one wins tonight. Our nation just loses more.

General election now.

Tories call passing Rwanda Bill a “landmark moment”.
Yes
A “landmark moment” of constitutional thuggery.
A “landmark moment” of govt extremism, financial idiocy and vicious inhumanity.
A “landmark moment” of international irresponsibility and national disgrace.
Shame on them all.

Sunak has allocated 2200 detention spaces, 200 caseworkers, 25 courtrooms, 150 judges and 5000 sitting days for Rwanda

At a time when rape victims have to wait almost 2 years for a trial the PM has suddenly found the cash and capacity to get what he wants

No one who tells the truth can say the Rwanda Bill will stop small boats. It will not. Conflict, starvation, colonisation, climate change: the inevitable consequences of these things cannot be legislated away by any Parliament. The Rwanda Bill is founded on a lie.

Fo anyone who does not realise. The French government has repeatedly offered to build FOR FREE a refugee processing centre in France and will allow UK Border Control officials to man it. The UK refuses because the Conservatives/Brexit Party
want and need the small boat crises

I see the UK government has, under pressure finally had to reveal the cost of sending a refugee to Rwanda. £1.8 million per person. For that same cost of ONE individual an entire refugee processing centre could be built and staffed in France solving the boats problem overnight.

Just off for a hearing in a rape case. Allegation reported in 2021, trial not before 2025, if we’re all lucky.

No podium speeches from the Prime Minister about this. No promises to magic up more judges, courts or lawyers.

Just silence, and the threat of further cuts to come.

Why is this government so focused on it's cruel, and quite frankly ridiculous Rwanda bill.

NHS on its knees, planet on palliation, children starving.

And they choose? Hate.

#GeneralElectionNow

The #RwandaAct says unsafe is safe, black is white. This is legislative performative cruelty by a Govt running out of road.

I just spent time with Carine Kanimba #ijf24 . Her father, Paul Rusesabagina, was kidnapped by Rwanda. This is a brutal regime.

What a shameful day for the UK.

340 weeks. Flowers are blooming all over the protest memorial. I like to think that Daphne would have enjoyed that - a protest in bloom. #DaphneCaruanaGalizia #occupyjustice 🍃

A much love doll, Olive, has just been lost on a train either at Doncaster or on the London North Eastern Railway train from Doncaster to London. I have a devastated little girl and I’ve seen these sorts of posts work before.
