I try not to ask folk to RT my Tweets too often, but this is a real plea for you to share.
The immunosuppressed are being denied life-saving treatment to protect us from #Covid. My life has been on hold for over 2 years & I'm desperate now.
1/8 #Evusheld is a drug designed to protect clinically vulnerable people against Covid in cases where vaccines don’t work. Evusheld is given prophylactically (that is, in advance) to stop people in this situation developing severe Covid in the first place.

Last year I had skin cancer & very swift NHS treatment. A month ago, my GP told me it was back. I have been referred to a private clinic, taking overflow NHS patients. They've told me it could be months before I get an appointment, meanwhile I can feel & see it getting worse. 1/2 I already have blood cancer & I'm terrified. The Government's refusal to have basic Covid protections in England, like masks in shops/on public transport means even the NHS overflow services are overwhelmed. If I die waiting for treatment, someone sue Boris Johnson for me.

I'm sure I speak for millions when I say that my passion for the UK being in the EU was not a 4 year whim, but has been an integral part of my identity for all of my adult life.
I treasured the rights & freedoms I had & took full advantage of them - doing so enriched my life.
1/8 I was proud to be British and know that my country benefited from and contributed to an amazing, diverse partnership. I valued the security it gave me and the sense of peace. I understood that meant compromise on occasion, but that's what being a partner means.

What part of #StayHomeSaveLives do people not understand?
In my little village in North Wales today, we're inundated with tourists who are buying up whatever they can lay their hands on from our tiny Spar & butchers. We have many elderly here and no public transport. I'm fuming. We all need to call on the Government to put in place measures to STOP #CoronaTourism NOW. Remember the 'with rights come responsibilities' mantra? Well, as some people will not act responsibly, there must be sanctions.

Boris Johnson is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the United Kingdom.

Thanks to @PreetBharara for the inspiration for this thread... He's a proven liar

He is lazy

He's ignorant

He's a philanderer

He's racist

He's a narcissist

He's a cheat

Thread on why #KeirForLeader is the right for @UKLabour:
@Keir_Starmer can be trusted to keep our policy programme radical. Keir has always been a socialist. He has spent his life defending trade unionists, environmental activists & those standing up to corporate power.
1/11 He used his legal skills to help miners, printworkers and dockers when the Tories went to war with the working class. He represented those taken to court for non-payment of Poll Tax Free of Charge.

I've never stuck at something for very long, I'm a butterfly, love new experiences, novelty & change. Yet for over 3 years, my every waking moment has been consumed with wanting to #StopBrexit. Why? Because Brexit deeply offends my values, it threatens my family & community.
1/4 It has been designed & promoted by people I do not trust and with whom I cannot identify - I have very little common ground with those who lie & are perfectly comfortable pursuing a right-wing populist ideology. Their lack of transparency & integrity makes me despair.

Hi all!
After over a week of avoiding all social media & only catching the news on the radio, I feel I've regained perspective & I've also learned a lot from stepping back and out of the #Remain bubble. My observations:
1/8 Labour Party position: in crisis with huge rifts when it comes to which way they would go IF they got the chance to negotiate a Labour Brexit deal. Conference may go some way to getting a definitive position, but JC still unreliable & unwilling to commit & unions hold power.

Hi all, jut wanted to let you know that I'm taking some time out for a while.
I need some space to reflect - the last few days I have been incensed by the vitriol of some of the Remain community and the way in which they have been describing those who voted Leave.
THREAD 1/4 Some of that criticism has been extremely defamatory, using vile stereotyping and, in my view, makes Remainers look bitter & superior. I'm not talking about the natural anger for pro-Brexit politicians or the media figures, they are fair targets in some cases.

As I attended my local #StopTheCoup protest yesterday, I realised that I had carried a deep anger & hatred for the Tories all of my adult life. My first memory which seeded that anger was watching my aunt & uncle sob when my uncle was made redundant from British Steel.
1/10 He cried not only for his family, but as a Shop Steward, he felt he'd failed his co-workers. He then joined millions of unemployed & every week would stand in a queue for the Dole Office which went round the block in our Black Country town.

We are in the midst of a right-wing coup & have been for 3+ years. Getting us to vote on leaving the EU was never about whether our EU membership was good for us or not, it was simply the vehicle for those who wanted to seize absolute power to achieve their nefarious goals.
1/9 Since the Referendum, the Gov't has stated that, to do what they want, without scrutiny, they will revert to Henry VIII powers, meaning they can literally ignore or repeal any law passed by Parliament. Far from them respecting democracy, they are quite prepared to ignore it.

An open letter to @jeremycorbyn

Dear Jeremy,
I am writing this as a Member of the Labour Party to both express my disappointment in Labour's stance on Brexit and to appeal to you, as the Leader for whom I voted twice, to take urgent action to resolve the issue.
1/11 You committed to me, Party members and Labour voters that you would listen to us - that is not the impact you are having, despite it being your intention. Labour campaigned to Remain in 2016, two thirds of Labour voters voted to Remain and we know that number has increased.

*Thread*
Many of us have lived, slept & breathed Brexit for almost 3 years (unlike most of our politicians) & we are weary. I feel like I've been ignored, screaming into a void, begging for some crumbs of reason & in a permanent state of anxiety & frustration. But why?
1/21 Let's go back a few years. Since Thatcher, there had been a core of (mainly Tory) Eurosceptics, but they were kept in check until Farage & UKIP started to gain ground in traditional Tory seats. As the EU expanded, the right-wing press had a field day & stirred up resentment.
2/21

When your kids are hungry, but the rent is due,
When you're in a dead-end job, zero-hour contract too.
When you have to choose between milk or bread,
When the life dreams you used to have are dead.
1/8 When they tell you the foreigners get all for free,
You put a X in the ballot box to shout out "What about me?"
When you're afraid and ignored, your hope all but dies,
So you'll cling to anything, even a bus covered in lies.

Dear @jeremycorbyn,
Yesterday I rejoined the Labour Party after a 2 year absence due to your stance on Brexit. Please do not take my membership as an endorsement of your position, far from it; I joined so that I can influence from within the party. Let me explain...
1/10 I have spent every single day since June 24 2106 fighting to #StopBrexit. I have done so not so much because I am a huge fan of the EU, but because I value everything that our membership of this Union brings. I treasure the enhanced rights which have been afforded us.
2/10

Warning: Remainer fatigue alert.
Putting aside my personal health issue, I am physically, emotionally & mentally exhausted. Like tens of thousands of others, we have dedicated over 2.5 years fighting daily to #StopBrexit. We’re also trying to juggle daily life. #FuckBrexit I’d like to add that my health issue is chronic blood cancer, so can’t get well, but only hope for a slower demise. Also, my Tweet was to highlight that a good part of the population has been working harder than many politicians to protect the interests/needs of the U.K.

So here's how Brexit works out for those who will benefit (clue - it's not us 'ordinary' people):
Investors sell UK property at peak prices
Move their business & wealth into the EU, exchange their £ for Euros
Brexit occurs, so £ & property market crash
1/3 They short-sell Sterling
A certain point into the Brexit turmoil sees them buy back Sterling & property (both at lower cost after collapse) & they make a sh*tload of £££.
It's a disaster capitalist's dream scenario - no wonder they will stop at nothing to achieve it.

My blood pressure is through the roof as rejection of #ChequersPlan means No Deal Brexit is more likely.
1. Cameron should never have gambled with the UK's future to appease Tory Eurosceptics, nor should he have said the decision of that advisory vote would be implemented.
1/5 2. May did not need to trigger A50 when she did.
3. She should have commissioned thorough impact reports & allowed full consideration & debate in Parliament & engaged with business/NHS etc.
4. Labour (together with other parties) should have acted early on as scrutineers.
