Beyond #Megxit: @sjwrenlewis powerful analysis warning about the "invisible contract" between some of the public/politicians and the right-wing press that 'threatens meaningful democracy in the UK'.
TLDR: 'Permanent power is achieved in four ways': (1/5)
TLDR: 'Permanent power is achieved in four ways': (1/5)
'The first, taking its cue from the US Republican party, is to make any election battleground about this socially conservative/liberal divide that was at the core of Brexit. The right wing press and this government’s ‘war on woke’ is designed to achieve exactly that.' (2/5)
'The second means to permanent power, again borrowed from the US right, is to make it more difficult to vote, and to saturate elections with social media ads paid with uncontrolled amounts of money.' (3/5)

"The American political & economic system is designed to make you feel like you are worthless. But you are worth more than they tell you, & part of the struggle the next few years is resisting the cult mentality... that tells you to not ask for what you deserve." - @sarahkendzior
"Demand better. Always push for better, because that's how you get progress...The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since something like 2009, and it's one of the contributing factors to why we have crisis levels of income inequality." - @AndreaChalupa
👑🧵/ Last night's #Megxit interview, in which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle share details of life after being financially cut off from the monarchy, renews attention on the royal family's enormous wealth, private estates, and how those assets are shielded from public view.
2/ Last month, @guardian revealed that Queen Elizabeth successfully lobbied the government to change a draft law in the 1970s in order to conceal her “embarrassing” private wealth from the public as part of the 'Queen's consent' investigation. bit.ly/3cZkmXv
3/ In 2017, ICIJ's #ParadisePapers investigation revealed that Queen Elizabeth's private estate, the Duchy of Lancaster, indirectly invested in a rent-to-own loan company accused of predatory tactics via the Cayman Islands. bit.ly/2ODFIPG
The Duchess of Sussex says she and Harry will reveal the sex of their second child to @Oprah during #HarryandMeghanonOprah and reveals how shocked she was when Harry told her she’d need to curtsy to the Queen when meeting her for the first time
Meghan claims before their wedding, the Duchess of Cambridge made her cry over an altercation about flower girl dresses: “It made me cry and really hurt my feelings...She apologised and I’ve forgiven her.” They also married privately with @JustinWelby 3 days before the wedding
@oprah “Were you silent or were you silenced?” Meghan: “The latter...Nothing is like it looks like,” in the royal family. She claims people in the institution told her she couldn’t meet friends for lunch and a member of the royal family told her to “lie low” #MeghanMarkle
