Statues aren’t about history they are about adoration. This man was not great, he was a slave trader and a murderer.
Historian @DavidOlusoga brilliantly explains why BLM protestors were right to tear down the statue of Edward Colston.
Deeply worrying evidence that PM planning to sell out UK farmers & our environment in US trade deal, despite empty promises to the contrary
We urgently need legal guarantees on enshrining high standards on food, animal welfare & environmental protection theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
This is outrageous. Speaking truth to power is what journalists like @maitlis are there to do - shame on the BBC for bowing to this truth-twisting incompetent government. #DemocracyUnderThreat

“Vice-chancellors have had months to come up with serious offers to avoid widespread disruption on UK campuses. Their failings are clear for all to see and the blame for the disruption caused by the strikes lays squarely at their door” theguardian.com/education/2020…#UCUStrikesBack

Jeremy Corbyn snubs a Tory State Banquet for Donald Trump!!! A day after we learn under Theresa May’s Tories 600,000 children in Britain are eating at Foodbanks they announce a lavish banquet!! FFS!!!
Word of the day: “whin” -- Scots name for gorse (Ulex europaeus), aka “furze”; blooming brightly now on heath & coast, yellow on blue.
To some people, whin flowers smells keenly of coconut & vanilla.
Spiky home to stonechats & yellowhammers; blaze of gold, then pop of seed-pods.
If you are middle class, they call you a champagne socialist
If you are working class, they say it's the politics of envy
If you wear leather shoes, they call you a hypocrite
If you don't, they call you a hippy.
Everyone, apparently, is disqualified from challenging the system.
Just asked PM if she'll meet inspiring climate activist @GretaThunberg in Parliament in 2 weeks' time.
Greta has met the Pope, spoken at Davos & received Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
Seems PM still needs a bit more persuading.
RT if you think she should meet. #strike4climate
Watch Charlie Stayt destroy Tory Minister for Schools Nick Gibb over cuts, Teachers working in the canteen, parents asked to buy toilet paper.. “are you deluded?”
Word of the day: "library" - a treasure-house of books, a sanctuary for study. "Library" comes from the Latin "liber" meaning both "book" & "bark", from the early use of tree-bark as a writing material. As the word's roots tell us, libraries are story-forests, wildwoods of words.
The Labour Party will put forward our proposal again - which we believe can win the support of the country, parliament and the EU. #BrexitVote#BrexitDeal
Word of the #StormFreya day: "Mardöll" -- one of the Old Norse names given to the goddess Freya in the thirteenth-century Prose Edda, meaning either "the one who makes the sea swell", or "sea-brightener". Frey(j)a is also known as "Skjálf", "The Shaker".
Unforgivable that 610 MPs skipped yesterday's debate on climate change.
Young people on #schoolstrike4climate are showing leadership, while truant politicians shirk responsibility.
If your MP missed it, tell them why we urgently need a #GreenNewDeal to secure our futures:
