Watch to end. Unfit for the job. Totally unfit for purpose.
Government brainstorm: Who should head up efforts to tackle online abuse?

Outcome:
It’s good that Nadine Dorries is so keen on making sure taxpayers’ money is used effectively, like when she disappeared into a jungle for weeks for a TV show instead of doing the job taxpayers pay her to do, being an MP, whilst pocketing a 40 grand fee in the process. #toriesout

Shall we call them ‘people’. Just for today?
Please watch this. Patel should hang her head in shame. It’s a complex issue, yes, but her rhetoric & approach make everything infinitely worse.

No civilised country would behave in this way. Don’t read the comments beneath this or you’ll see the sort of society she has created.
Here is a very good explainer from @ZoeJardiniere on the refugee issue - some handy facts for the ‘why don’t they just stay in France’ racist brigade. It’s a must-watch actually, not least for the dignity with which she handles a frothy-mouthed idiotic MP.

It’s worth trying to sit through this whole clip and then estimating how many brain cells in your head died during the process.
It’s the end, if you can make it that far. It’s amazing.
Imagine being a grown up and finding yourself on the radio with a straight face talking about Peppa and Daddy Pig as role models and someone who just embarrassed your country to the world, again, being a great communicator, or writing tweets like this when you are over 16.

The Culture Secretary, who is in charge of broadcasting, doesn’t go on any news programmes and is proud of this fact.

This is like a health secretary refusing to visit a hospital.

Sack these awful people.

This is why the person in charge of the nation’s news media doesn’t do news interviews. It’s because a baby armadillo that had been dropped in a vat of LSD would do better. In this exhibit, she bemoans the lack of MEPs and Commissioners after #Brexit 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Priti Patel’s brilliant scheme to attract the best minds in the world to global Britain is going, well, much as you’d expect.

Just Murdoch’s Times. The PM is on his way out. 👀 Image
Good morning from Peppa Pig World, formerly known as Great Britain. #idiocracy #BrexitBritain Image

Quite impressive how less than a decade after the 2012 Olympics we've moved from being quite a cool country that paraded its diversity, talent & public services before the world to having a PM who tells the UN about Kermit the Frog & lectures business leaders on Peppa Pig World.
Well, this is exactly what happens when you put a lazy, undisciplined, unprincipled journalist in charge of a G7 country isn’t it.
Top story. They’re waking up at last. #PeppaPig #JohnsonOut

I hope young black people shocked by the #RittenhouseTrial take some comfort from this extraordinary address to students.

Shameful that the same speech still needs to be made today, and everyday.

But it’s the only option.

Keep moving. #BlackLivesMatter
I can’t stop watching this.
Am always amazed when I remember he was only 39 when he was killed.
What a human.
