What's the matter with the BBC and the newspapers? They lead with war in 🇺🇦, porn-watching in the House of Commons, and the prime minister stuck for how to solve the #CostOfLivingCrisis. But the fact that last night the UK ceased to be a #democracy eludes them? That's bad, no?

@jbond The environmental levies should be on gas, coal, oil (also nuclear power and gas or wood fired power stations). Of course it's also inefficient to turn one kind of energy into another and then use it to get the heat you could have had directly.

@AndrewMcmullins @JoBrowningWroe Oh definitely. I'm sure they still use blankets and eiderdowns in the Mogg household. Nanny tucks you up and leaves a little night light candle on a saucer.

@AdiDee_Gee It truly beggars belief. Utter dereliction of their duty to protect our democracy from the Tory dictatorship bid.

RT @DavidRobjant: What if it turns out the point of prorogation was partly to use as a threat in future every time the Lords looked likely to obstruct some further drift towards fascism?
And what if that threat, to judge from Labour whipping activity on the elections bill, has just... worked?

This is insane. The Lords were doing well, but it looks as though Labour have completely flunked it. Even the Conservatives managed to speak against their own government. Disaster for our democracy.
RT @LLocock: Unbelievable. So much for checks and balances.

RT @BestForBritain: Only 67 Lab peers turned out to vote. 70 Lib Dems, 33 XB and 3 Cons (Altmann, Ken Clarke, Deben) voted with us.

This is shocking. What are Labour thinking of?
RT @natalieben: Credit to Lord Sikka for standing up for the #RuleOfLaw.
Very disappointing to see Labour direction to abstain on #NationalityandBordersBill key provision

@Angel41527796 @fsbebbington1 @SimonPease1 The UK could have learnt how it's done from the European Parliament. But our current leaders blindfolded themselves to that, because they wanted to pretend it was not democratic.

Yes this. And the research that contributes to the grand claims of the institution to justify their funding. Let that be attributed instead to the individual who worked for it, and withheld from institutional lists of glory. No one should have glory from exploited employees.

RT @msteenhagen: In the case of teachers and lecturers, the tactics of strikes should be abandoned, because they only hurt students and members. What is needed is the strategic withdrawal of forms of labour which will only be noticed by management. — Mark Fisher

RT @PrivateEyeNews: A mysterious one-day directorship, a £491k loan, a Cayman Island firm specifically designed to keep banking bonuses offshore and a flat refusal to answer the Eye’s question about any of it: the new Eye attempts to untangle the issues around Sajid Javid’s dubious non-dom status.

RT @GreenJJNews: £2m a day of our funding for #renewables is instead going to the Drax Power Station which burns forests and makes #ClimateCrisis worse. This money should be bringing down energy bills by supporting energy efficient homes and genuine renewables. @GreenJennyJones

RT @goSHIFTscheme: I've now logged the weather on over 1000 commutes by bike in Worcester. My categories are dry, damp (it might have rained a bit but no need to change clothes) or soaked (towel and change of clothes needed). Conclusion: rain is not the barrier to cycling some people think it is.
