The whole thing is a sick Orwellian joke.

We've literally watched them fraternising with a hostile state for years while subverting and betraying our democracy and done nothing.

They're aided and abetted by an utterly craven, unimaginative and it has to be said homogeneous media class.

1) Why is this woman still in the House of Lords?

2) Why is she (along with her equally odious husband) not in jail?

Profiteering, by putting health workers at risk during a pandemic. Nice people... 🤮

You know what's great about Bluesky? Logging on and not being confronted by this shit. ⤵️

The government should mirror all of its accounts on Bluesky, with the aim of leaving the sewer of hate known as X under the ownership of a man who has called for the violent subversion of our democracy.

The facts on London crime from the organisations that deal with it, as opposed to the alternative facts conjured by the far-right on social media to fit with their racist narrative that London is a "shithole".

Lest we forget...

Richard Holden was revealed as sole candidate for Basildon & Billericay days before selection closed, on what was expected to be a shortlist of 3. The Tory leader for Basildon branded CCHQ "shameful" and said he wouldn't campaign for him.

Holden won by 20 votes.

Lest we forget...

Richard Holden backed to the hilt the Conservative Party's deliberately misleading video clip of Sadiq Khan West seemingly describing the Labour Party as anti-semitic. Never forget the depths to which the Tories will stoop.
