Boris Johnson and Priti Patel want the police to start fights with peaceful protesters.

Why else would the Policing Bill give officers the power to arrest protesters who are being 100% peaceful? #NoisyAndAnnoying
The government's justification for a law that fines people up to £2,500 for simply raising their voice at a protest, is to stop police being assaulted.🤔

Does that make sense?
Is assaulting police legal now?
Do they NEED to silence protesters to keep cops safe?
#NoisyAndAnnoying
@pritipatel @GMB @BorisJohnson @MathildaMall @DeborahFW @HumanRightsCtte Use your head! You KNOW that's total b*******s.

The irony is:
The fastest way to start a riot is to stop a protest and yet...
This government is effectively banning protests but claiming that they're doing it to stop riots.
#NoisyAndAnnoying
Priti Patel is therefore responsible for every protester and police officer who gets injured or killed in relation to the Policing Bill.

The fact that millions of people in the UK think Brexit delivered our vaccines, despite the UK regulator saying it's not true and several EU countries rolling out Russian vaccines independently, should make every single mainstream UK journalist feel utterly ashamed of themselves.
You all watched this.

Hi @LozzaFox @toadmeister @JuliaHB1!

We disagree on almost everything BUT:

If your fight for personal liberty (masks, free speech..) has ANY integrity, you'll oppose the Policing Bill which criminalises being #NoisyAndAnnoying at protests, just as strongly.
Can we count on you?
You've treated masks as muzzles.
You've described lockdown as intentional government suppression and population control.

THIS. IS. WORSE.

So I hope you would like your libertarianism to at least appear consistent:

Oppose the #NoisyAndAnnoying clauses.
I'm working on a campaign alongside other people you probably despise as much as me.

You don't need to work with us. They're not fans of you either.

But I hope you'll support the cause of freedom, regardless of who's running alongside you.
#NoisyAndAnnoying.

Why telling your friend you're suffering is never a burden:

1⃣ It's more of a burden to me to have to *wonder* if my friend is going through hell, than it is to hold their hand through it.

2⃣ If your *friend* wouldn't look after you, or would rather not know... Not a friend.
And on a personal note...
My trauma was the most significant factor in the person I am today. If you you don't know it, you don't really know me.
And if someone doesn't know you, how can they be a friend?

We are the sum total of how we've reacted to the things we've experienced.
I often view friendship as an invisible safety net below a tight-rope... You only know it's really there when you fall.

I'm watching everyone tweet about this YouGov poll, panicked that Labour is so far behind.

And I'm just chilling.😎

The Tories are still on 43% just as they were in 2019, and the progressive majority is still intact.

It's only a problem if Labour doesn't commit to an alliance.
Anybody who's waiting for Labour to overtake the Tories is kidding themselves. If that's your plan, just strap in for another ten years of Tory suffering.

For me, it's simple. Electoral Pact means the Tories are out:😎
If there's no electoral pact, we're all fucked anyway so: 😎
(again, didn't mean to swear. Sorry. 😳)

I reckon I could probably literally hold my breath.
I'm pretty bad when it comes to off-colour humour. Like... I shield you guys from the sorts of things I say with my mates... But even me... I... I don't even know what to say.
I mean, part of me is genuinely hoping Patrick is about to turn round and say this was actually a super meta way of cynically exposing the way some media outlets tried to weaponise Prince Phillip's illness to try to silence Meghan and Harry.
