BJ lies and lies and lies. How he has the brass neck to bring this up when he so clearly didn't manage the situation when he had the chance... And I will never forgive him for how little he did over covid. These tossers need to step back out of public life with some humility. But no, more grift..
Liar.

Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022.

In current year they are 18,565 and falling.

Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

This is so important.
Unaware or don't care? Palantir already has its claws firmly dug into the UK. Thanks to successive naive - or perhaps actively colluding?- UK Gov depts and leadership
Good morning
@tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social

Your journey from MP who most understood the Cambridge Analytica scandal to paid-up Palantir apologist is really quite the journey.

Hope the pay packet is worth it. 💰

Here’s some background reading ahead of your first day 🧵👇

Our new megapoll with YouGov finds that pledging to rejoin the EU could win Labour 321 seats at the next election - just 5 short of an absolute majority.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

... mutually exclsusive? There is a name for being genuinely worried that foreign, dark-skinned people are dangerous. In fact, all phobias are genuinely felt. It's part of the challenge. But "genuine" does not equal "legitimate". And it just does not seem a great strategy for a state broadcaster...

Bonnie Greer was never anybody but herself. So unique. So indomitable. So unaffected by the crowd. A lover of complexities and no easy answers. We were emailing in recent weeks about Jason Arday – she had much to say which she wasn't able to in the end. A mentor who lifted us up.

We will miss you.

I'm not surprised but I'm truly disgusted that this narrative of "dangerous fighting age men posing a threat to women and children" is genuinely doing the rounds on the media with almost no push back at all.

This is 1930s level stuff.

I'm very much hoping to hear ALL MPs in coastal areas with RNLI members as constituents make a huge deal of this appalling thuggish behaviour and call for these terrorists to be proscribed & arrested. Intimidating lifesaving volunteers for a 'Royal' organisation - could they be any LESS patriotic?
Over on X, the far-right British Patriots have launched a hate campaign against the RNLI

They are recording RNLI volunteers in order to dox them, reveal their identities and publish details of where they and their families live

These men are dangerous

So in one week:

1) Reform get stung for dodgy finances, and the regulators play pass the parcel about enforcement

2) Farage announces plans to largely dismantle independent scrutiny of govt, and barely any press discussion of it

3) Masked thugs blockade a port, with narry a word from senior govt

Given the sort of attention devoted to accusations of plagiarism one assumes that some people will be very exorcised about another Cambridge academic appearing to be involved in *actual crime*

Come on, time to stop this self-harm. We're beholden to rogue states because we're desperate for trade but we won't just talk about terms for coming back to the EU. I don't care about red lines. I care about caving to Trump & creeps like Thiel for a poxy tiny % of trade. So damaging for our economy
Red tape. High costs. Lost opportunities.

Brexit stopped many British artists from touring in the EU. That has real-life consequences - for individual artists and the UK creative industry as a whole.

It's time to talk about EU membership.
