Don’t worry, world.

@SteveBakerHW is a well-known British Twitter parody account. ‘MP’ should not be misinterpreted to mean he’s a real member of the UK legislature. (‘FRSA’’? … well, don’t worry about that. Not important).

Oh … wait. What?

Good grief.
P.S. Dear non-UK world, turns out @SteveBakerHW is not only a genuine member of the governing party in the UK parliament, but he’s an ardent supporter of the ‘political fiasco’ (his words) called ‘Brexit’. He also thinks carbon ‘net zero’ is bad, because it’ll make us ‘colder’.
P.P.S. Those not closely following UK politics may not know how far @SteveBakerHW has come on Brexit.

From falsely accusing officials of faking evidence it’d be a fiasco, to crying from the (Twitter) rooftops that it is one.

Luke 15:7 comes to mind.

Oh. Sad.

This tweet supposedly originates from @AllegraCOP26, a top comms pro working for @BorisJohnson, the Prime Minister of the UK, leading his messaging to the world on the most important crisis facing humanity.

Clearly, it can’t do.

@TwitterSupport: her account’s been hacked.
More seriously, this is deeply disappointing.

Pretending individuals can make any real difference in a system driving them toward climate catastrophe is dishonest & dangerous.

The massive systems change required needs clarity, competence & courage. Not patronising claptrap.
17 years ago the Cabinet agreed & published an international energy & climate strategy for the UK. The first ever.

It wasn’t perfect. But it was clear, & right, about the central challenges, the massive change needed to address them & (at least some) of how to achieve that.

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

… /2.


▪️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.
