Exhibit 39: #PrivacyGate
Any parent in the public eye would understandably want to keep their kids out of the gaze of the paparazzi. Yet look at how differently the two royal couples are treated for it. ImageImageImageImage
Exhibit 40: #ExpensiveClothingGate
If in the public eye as much as Meghan and Kate, one has to dress well. That doesn't come cheap. McQueen and De La Renta are both top designers, neither are cheap. Why is £94k worth of clothing OK for one, but the other "has expensive taste"? ImageImageImage
Exhibit 41: #BabyGenderGate
Apparently noone in the UK ever knows the gender of their expected baby, despite the clarity of ultrasound scans. Knowing the gender of your baby is "the LA way", linked to Meghan's nationality. (Nationality is part of race).

Exhibit 42: #BabyPhotoGate
Daily Mail decides a photo taken on an iPad, converted to B&W is OTT, & seeks to make adverse comparison to Princess Eugenie. Whoever has not used a filter, or edited a digital picture, may they cast the first stone. You all know you've done it. ImageImageImageImage
Exhibit 42A: #BabyPhotoGateRevisited
Remember how Harry and Meghan's black and white pregnancy photo was dismissed as "contrived"? Yet other young royals have used arty beautiful photos, even by the same photographer. ImageImageImage
Exhibit 43: #SpotifyGate
Here is Steve Brine, Conservative MP for Winchester, getting het up about Spotify signing up Harry and Meghan for podcasts. He says it “sticks in the craw of some of the artists who are driving Uber cars right now to pay the rent”. See next tweet...
Exhibit 43 continued: #SpotifyGate
Did Steve Brine, when questioning Horacio Gutierrez of Spotify, complain about other high earning podcasts? Image
Exhibit 44: #HairLossGate
Most people would say male hair loss is caused by testosterone and is genetic. Not so the Express who've decided Harry is losing his hair because of his marriage. They've obviously not looked at the other men in the House of Windsor. ImageImageImageImage
Exhibit 45: #SaudiJewelGate
Yesterday we had criticism of Meghan for wearing earrings given to her by the Saudi Royal Family. Yet members of the Royal Family have worn the Faisal necklace and the Khalid necklace which were gifts from the Saudi Royal Family. ImageImageImage

Who are all the hypocrites who voted against abolishing the Tampon Tax back in 2015 but have had a sudden change of heart? First up, Steve Baker, Conservative MP for Wycombe.
Next we have Bernard Jenkin, Conservative MP for Harwich and North Essex. The patronising way in which he calls Stella Creasy "feisty" really shows his commitment against sexism. Nice job!
Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor and Conservative MP for Richmond, Yorkshire, also voted against the 2015 motion to abolish the Tampon tax. What's with the autographed graphics, Rishi? Do you think you're some kind of rock star?

Please stop quoting pasta prices. A packet of pasta won't feed a family alone. You never cater for all the sauce ingredients, kitchen implements, cooking gear, energy, time. You fail to budget for competing demands of home heating, rent, water rates & council tax, among others.
Until you people recognise that others are entitled to a degree of variety in their food, nutrition instead of empty calories, fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing, shoes, internet access (don't pretend job seeking and many other services and needs are possible without it!)...
Then I am, like other people, sick of your shopping lists and diktats about how cheaply people can feed their families. For years and years the ONLY TVs available are flat screen. So stop all this nonsense about phones and TVs suggesting a lack of poverty. It's nonsense.

As Conservative MPs bemoan the lack of proper debate, a reminder of their rhetoric.
Lawyers: activists, lefty do gooders
Judges: enemies of the people
Refugees: illegal immigrants
Remainers: saboteurs, traitors. 
Legislation: surrender bill
Corbyn: a big girls blouse.
Given that Bradley and Saxby are two of the worst offenders only very recently, their gaslighting is all the more unacceptable.
Neither Saxby nor Bradley have been quoted out of context. Their whole social media posts have been screenshotted, and posted EXACTLY as they wrote them. When your exact words are used, that cannot be said to be out of context. We're not buying it.

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.

Boris Johnson, you are a racist, Islamophobic, Anti-Semite. No, your words have not been taken out of context. No, your words are not "robust". Your words are blatant, explicit and clear. It's all in print, it's all capable of being evidenced. [THREAD]
You seemed to have a problem with the end of Apartheid. Apartheid was a crime against humanity, of the brutal oppression of black people in their own country. Yet when it came to an end, your response displayed your lack of respect for those black people.
You made the huge, sweeping statement that all Asian culture is corrupt and rife with bribery. You deployed the "goodness gracious me" trope, and made predictable jibes about ghee and onion bhajis when writing about a British asian politician.

Sarah Vine is absolutely right. We should be kind to pregnant women. But is her call for people to #BeKind consistent with her views relating to other women? Or does it depend on whether Sarah likes or agrees with them?
Sarah Vine was somewhat unsympathetic when writing about Meghan's pregnancy. Where was her kindness then?
Sarah Vine wrote some fairly homophobic trash about Jack Monroe. Sarah, where was your kindness then?
