Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.

The thing that’s so incoherent about this is that yes, of course the 7/7 bombers were British. They were British terrorists. Being a massive arsehole doesn’t stop you being British, which is good news for Matt Goodwin otherwise he might find himself stateless.

Here in Chicago, where government thugs are terrorizing my neighbors, I’ve been listening to old Graham Nash songs. They serve as sad reminders that the oppression he wrote about in the early ’70s is still here – maybe even worse. My boomer generation really fucked things up. 🧵 1/2

This is just straightforwardly false from Badenoch. If the Lam amendment had been passed, it would have removed ILR (and made liable to deportation) from someone who arrived here on a work permit in 1971, got ILR in mid-70s, and claimed her pension in 2000.
