@Femi_Sorry

🚨 NEW 🚨 #PMQs fact check by @Femi_Sorry

In which Boris Johnson wanders into a boozy party in his own back garden on a balmy evening in lockdown and claims "I believed implicitly this was a work event"

Excruciating even by his own standards 👎👎👎

"But instead of reforming the country's creaking democracy and shoring up Britons' rights, he and his lieutenants are doing the opposite: seizing control for themselves and stripping away the freedoms of others"

Fantastic from @mlothianmclean, for NYT.

"A raft of bills likely to pass this year will set Britain, self-professed beacon of democracy, on the road to autocracy"

1) Police Crime Sentencing & Courts Bill.

The police would be equipped to shut down demonstrations that create “serious disruption”

2) The Nationality and Borders Bill.

"seeks to criminalize asylum seekers who take unsanctioned routes: Refugees who arrive by boat, for example, could face up to four years in prison, regardless of the validity of their claim for safe haven"

💣💣
The Met confirmed it is probing revelations that Boris Johnson’s staff organized a “bring your own booze” drinks gathering in the Downing Street garden during lockdown in May 2020 — an event the prime minister himself is also alleged to have attended.

@PaulBrandITV

Covid rules at the time were that people were banned from meeting more than one person socially outdoors.
@PaulBrandITV reports that “around 40 staff gathered in the garden that evening, eating picnic food and drinking.”

@PaulBrandITV

@PaulBrandITV A jolly email, sent by the Prime Minister's Principal Private Secretary Martin Reynolds to over 100 Downing street employees and leaked to @itvnews, read:

⏮️LET'S HIT REWIND!

Exactly a year ago, the #Jan6thInsurrection took place.

We interviewed @moonalice, a member of @FBoversight, which is one of our very own US projects, about the role of tech platforms, specifically #Facebook, in aiding this unfortunate event.

@Moonalice

.@Moonalice explains: "people who attacked the Capitol... probably two years earlier could not have imagined themselves... attacking the seat of government... These are people who were manipulated and the tool that was used to manipulate them was the internet. Mostly #Facebook".

@Moonalice

Showing how the #Jan6thInsurrection was telling of a rot in US democracy, @Moonalice explains that the people behind the riots were "people who are normally charged with protecting our democracy", like people from the President's administration & "active duty or retired military"
