MG quotes Antonio Gramsci,"The crisis consists precisely of the fact that the inherited is dyingโand the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear."

Brexiters have put NOTHING forward to compensate for stripping 66m of us Brits of our #FreedomOfMovement โ a FREEDOM millions in service industries rely on it to do our jobs. Without it, we're less competitive on our own Continent.

A thread about Scotland, solidarity against dictatorship, and the connection between Chilean fascism and the disaster of Brexit. ๐งโ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ป๐ณ๐จ๐ฑ#NaePasaran #StopFascism #Brexit #ToriesOut #solidarity #history 
I recently saw the extraordinary film โNae Pasaranโ, a powerful, deeply moving story of Scottish workers standing up to the fascist dictatorship in Chile in the 1970sโฆ ๐คโ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ป๐ณ๐จ๐ฑ #NaePasaran #StopFascism #solidarity #Scotland #Chile @debasersfilms @naepasaran
One day in March 1974, an engineer at the Rolls Royce plant in East Kilbride, near Glasgow, noticed that there were Chilean aircraft engines in the production line, waiting to be refurbished. They were from Hawker Hunter jets owned by the Chilean Air Force. ๐โ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ป๐ณ #Scotland
So nearly ended up with a question on #bbcqt. Will be interested if there will be any questions about #Cummings actions tonight given I was directed to think of a different question... ๐ค
And yes of course there are other issues atm and it is appropriate to think of them but hereโs why the Cummings illegal driving to Barnard castle matters to me...
My closest friend from uni has been in icu for 54 days. On ecmo for 34 of those. Has now made it off ecmo but I donโt know if sheโll leave hospital. She has a 1yo. Her husband was covid positive as was the baby for the first week of her intensive care stay.

Even if the 260mile trip to Durham was justified. I donโt believe it was, but even if we give him that. How is a 60mile round trip โto check my eyes workโ in any way defendable? @MattHancock @michaelgove @BorisJohnson #cummings
As far as i am aware the @DVLAgovuk have rigorous checks when an individual is concerned about their vision and they DO NOT involve trying them out on a road where a high number of accidents occur. @MattHancock @michaelgove @BorisJohnson #sackcummings
This not only risked his own families lives, it risked the other road users and it risked the NHS staff who would have had to run a trauma call for 3 covid positive patients. @MattHancock @BorisJohnson @michaelgove #sackcummings

Let's have a chat about digital diversion, manipulation, Twitter bots and the misspelling of Dominic Cummings' name...

No doubt, since @BorisJohnson refused to sack #DominicCummings yesterday, you will have noted that, among the Twitter trending topics, have been a lot of misspellings of Dominic Cummings' name.
This is not a coincidence.

This has been going on for a few hours now - and it is still the case.
So why are there so many versions of Dominic Cummings doing the rounds? And why should you ensure that you use the correct spelling and not one of the trending ones?

Conservative MPs have been falling over themselves to defend Dominic Cummings. Health Secretary Matt Hancock has today undermined months of his own work to control the virus.

Lots of you thought Rishi Sunak was a half decent bloke, doing his best in difficult circumstances. Then he tweeted this and people shook their heads, muttering "Oh Rishi"!

Dominic Raab, who was once a solicitor in the City, doesn't appear to have read his own government's legislation on the lockdown measures.

Ah, would that this be true... I've seen tweets from 2 Tory MPs this morning, trying to spin the story.
Guess we're finding out (again) who're in the Cummings coterie...

Going to make this a thread of MPs defending Cummings for "visiting" his elderly parents, then his sister, in Durham, all the while he was in bed, with muscle spasms due to #COVIDใผ19, and his wife was praying for him, whilst making a castle with their son.
