It’s the Pongdemic.

The UK faces:

▪️food shortages - lack of truck drivers & supplies

▪️inflation - systemic shredding of productive capacity, trade & supply-chains

▪️looming tragedy in NI

▪️break-up

All reek of Brexit.

And of @BorisJohnson & his helpers, past & present.

“We are aware of Ms Jendrycha’s situation & are urgently reaching out to her […] to confirm her status in the UK” say ⁦@ukhomeoffice⁩.

I’m sure ⁦@MatthewRycroft1⁩ & his team will do their best.

But think about it.

A short 🧵/1. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/o…
Along with approaching 6 million others, a Holocaust survivor’s citizenship rights in the UK were revoked on 1 January 2021, to be replaced with an inferior status.

And for no other reason than she (& they) belong to a disfavoured group (EU citizens).

A Holocaust survivor. /2.
She, along with countless others, faces the prospect that she may be denied even that lesser status. /3.

There’s a reason we consider all lives of equal value.

Yes, basic human decency. (And yes, we constantly fail to meet that standard, try as we might).

But, for the last eight decades there’s been another reason.

A short 🧵 /1.
The following were selected for immediate death:

▪️the sick

▪️the elderly

There are so many levels on which this tweet from ⁦@ChesterCath⁩ is inappropriate that I’m sure it’ll be deleted.

The least important is it makes no grammatical sense. (Can anyone tell me when the bells are supposed to ring?)

Anyway, here it is👇
Thank you @SELondoner for highlighting.
Well, credit where it’s due. @ChesterCath have listened.

There are only a few credible scenarios for this remarkable ⁦@guardian⁩ report, by ⁦@lukeharding1968⁩ & colleagues, of leaked Kremlin papers showing a Putin plot to install Trump & destroy the US. All of them highly important to us all.

A🧵/1. theguardian.com/world/2021/jul…
Let’s start with the most likely:

(a) it’s all true & the leak’s genuinely just that;

(b) it’s true & the ‘leak’ was done by the US (having obtained the documents by covert means), as part of a major counter-subversion effort; /2.
(c) it’s true & the ‘leak’ was done by the Kremlin, calculating it would heighten division in the US & make Putin & Putinism more feared;

(d) it’s fake & originates from US authorities, as part of counter-subversion;

(e) it’s fake & originates from the Kremlin (see (c)). /3.

What @profserious learnt in govt. Spot on (thanks @Dannythefink for sharing). I’d add:

▪️Be sure you’re willing & able to leave. Your integrity & contributions you can make elsewhere outweigh any ability to ‘improve things from the inside’ in a govt going beyond the pale. /1.
▪️Follow the example of the wonderful Ossy Hanfling.

As his obituary in @guardian had it:

“He was undaunted by orthodoxy and fashion, and doggedly committed to straight talking and thinking. He never shied away from raising …/2.

… uncomfortable questions, defending unfashionable views, and deflating intellectual pretensions in a way that somehow managed to be both disarmingly straightforward and subtly ironical. At the same time, he was a paragon of moderation … /3.
