So a few words on the European elections. Firstly a massive congratulations to Remain parties who have made great progress against nationalists who ran a campaign of lies & intimidation. We knew it before & it is confirmed again. The country is Remain. 1/
Across Europe progress has also been made particularly in regards to the environment with Green parties increasing their presence and also other parties campaigning on green issues. This is great news for us and for generations to come. 2/
Whilst progress has been made of course we have seen the plague of nationalism spreading. We can take heart that with all the foreign funding & tech supporting behind the extreme Right, Europe has made a stand against them and shown that sense, decency & respect can prevail. 3/
And let's think about that funding behind the fascists. We know the extreme Right are corrupt, claiming to be patriots whilst selling out their own citizens for money & power. Yesterday's vote was very much about the people against that corruption. 4/
Let us not forget the scale of the machine behind those corrupt extremists. Massive troll farm operations, limitless funding from US hedge funds & Russian oligarchs. These the people behind Salvini, Orban, Farage and Le Pen. 5/
So these elections were a battle between the people of Europe and those backing the extreme Right, foreign power. What we know is this, the people will not change & will continue that fight, as long as they know who their true enemy is. 6/
So our mission is to continue to spread the word that the extreme Right are backed by foreign power in order to destroy Europe and make the lives of most European worse through economic & social breakdown. 6/
We must make people aware of the lies, the money, the fascist networks, the trolls. Awareness of the trolls is key and pressure on social networks to take action against them. If we can spot them so easily then surely they can 7/
And btw let's think about the level of participation in the democratic process that was reflected in this election, one of the biggest votes in history. That shows us how much the people appreciate this Union of European people, it shows us people want democracy 8/
Whilst the evil #AltRight might do its best to break our faith in each other & in humanity, these elections show us that the people are stronger. Give the people the truth & trust in our innate humanity. 9/
Their strategy is to make us feel we are less than we are but we are more than they would like us to believe. We really are better than that. Onwards my friends. We fight on. 🙏✌🏼 #FBPE

Let’s be clear, we had a deal. It was a deal between nation and government that we would pay into the nation’s coffers to fund a national health service. We didn’t pay for the development of the NHS for it to be sold off for the personal gain of government school mates. 1/
Of course we can’t expect this government to honour that deal. They don’t know what honour means and couldn’t give a shit who they fuck over. They actually believe it is their right in the same way they believe it is their right to lie. 2/
Over generations the British public have paid for the NHS on the basis there would be a well NHS for those that needed it. This government have taken advantage of people’s good faith. So let’s say it again, we had a fucking deal. This government doesn’t get to renege on that.

As we approach 2022 it makes me think of one particular thing, the London Olympics in 2012. When one looks back it seems now it was the last remains of the fading light from a country that existed before this government came to power. 1/
Away from the politics for a moment, this country was a different country… a more unified country in a time before brexit even existed. Think about that, think about how devoid the national ether was of political stench and hate mongering. 2/
It was it can be argued socially more advanced, again more down to the longer term general advancement and enlightenment then politics, which came to an abrupt end when this government arrived. They hated it. 3/

Dear friends, I have been thinking about the words of @OxfordDiplomat, inspirational as always, about the need for Starmer to find better words to talk about post brexit, and for me, there is a word and it is “Rebuild”. 1/ #FBPE
We need to rebuild our society. It has been ripped apart by this government from the day they arrived. When they got in power they saw a massive opportunity, given to them by the banker created economic crash, to dismantle the country, behind the masquerade of “austerity”. 2/
“Austerity” was never about saving the country. It was never about economic recovery. It was about them destroying what we had all worked for, a progressive economically successful country and creating the Victorian version they wanted. 3/

How can we put this? Let’s just say that when you have an economic trading framework then trade operates in accordance with that framework. What that means is that a massive complex trading ecosystem has evolved over 40 years we have been part of the European trading union. 1/
40 years is a long time so a massive number over arching agreements have been put in place with an even bigger number of business contracts under that layer, all designed to help people trade with each other easily and on a common basis, hence common market. 2/
This structure has benefitted everyone involved. That’s why they did it in the first place. In fact that’s why trade agreements exist, to facilitate TRADE…. It’s not rocket science 3/

Dear friends, I know that many will have shared their experience of this thing however I wanted to say a few words about my experience that perhaps you can relate to. Everyone is different but this is my experience. 1. #FBPE #GetHealthy
Firstly do not do not underestimate this thing. It is unlike anything I have experienced. It is a cunning opponent and a bastard. About half way it seems I was over it & was more active. It was a mistake & that night I felt it. 2.
Rugby players being the tough old boots they are will often get up when injured, especially the hardy Scots. However there will be times where team mates will say "stay down". It is the same with this. Stay down until it is 100% gone. 3/

A few words of Amazon & their CEO "donating" to climate change. Let's be clear on this, when Amazon don't pay tax they are defunding the state, defunding society. Society is in fact subsidizing them. So when they "donate" money to a cause it is in part out money. #FBPE
And it is our money that is being directed by a CEO of a big US corporation. Why is this significant? Because in a functioning democracy we as a society decide how our tax money is directed by electing governments that decide on spending. 2/
So normally.. society decides through the democratic process how it cares for and supports society, for example, providing welfare, supporting culture, sport, building roads etc. However we are moving to a malfunctioning democracy whereby business decides. 3/
