Well, they don’t call it the Orwell Prize for nothing. The dystopian truth twisters are out again: @spectator has taken a verifiably false claim & woven it into ideological talking points from RT & Sputnik. Thank you for this incredible honour, @afneil

Here for the hell of it is George Orwell’s son - an amazing moment. And a funny-not-funny related story. An hour before this, Guardian’s lawyer @ladywell23 rang me in alarm: she’d just found out Banks had reported me to police. 2 days later, we drilled what to do in police raid..

That ploy failed but 2.5 years on, here we are. Where even free speech libertarians line up to take a whack. I’m grateful for support of @RSF_inter @pen_int & others who see the law as one part of changing & worsening threat landscape for journalists

Thank you @miqdaad for drawing my attention to Douglas Murray’s previous greatest hits. I actually had no idea he was both associate editor of the Spectator & a friend & defender of Tommy Robinson. Here he is on his solutions to Islam
