He shared an image of himself as a golden Nazi warlord king. Is it still not enough to disavow him, congressional Republicans?
Meanwhile, his demented self is demanding retribution against citizens trying to uphold the law while he disassembles it.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The Covid inquiry’s findings are shocking but unsurprising now, so the main thing it left me thinking is that without a vaccine we wd’ve been utterly screwed. & if you worked round the clock to make a thing that saved millions of lives globally, to see that legacy trashed by anti-vaxxers…

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives.
Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

Thinking about how the perfectly sane and humane - and not remotely radical - words coming out of this man’s mouth makes him an outlier in today’s political landscape.
A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

I live in hope that one year, in the future, I won't feel like sharing this piece of writing.
After his career as a jazz musician, Spike Hughes was a composer, journalist, and broadcaster. While working, he covered the ceremony at the Cenotaph for much of the 1930s. I came across his work while researching something else entirely, but I wanted to share this, from 1938.

Blair promised Cool Britannia but gave us Cruel Britannia. Cameron & May introduced Gruel Britannia. With Corbyn we were offered Renewal Britannia, but ended up with Johnson's Fool Britannia. Now we've got Starmer, who can only be described as a genocidal Tool Britannia. I'm saving Stool for Farage.
