40 years on, and the Conservative government thinks it is a good idea to criminalise street sleepers. Even Mrs Thatcher wasn’t that despicable.

This is heart-breaking to watch. 💔She’s 70 years old for Chrissake. Our longest-serving black MP. Between Hoyle, Starmer and Sunak she’s been silenced whilst men discuss whether it’s ok to take money from someone who’s said she should be shot. For shame.

Fascinating conversation between Chris Mullin and Rafael Behr this evening: democracy, political trust, PR, ideology - they covered it all. Huge thanks York Literature Festival 📚 and especially Ben Fuller See you next week for steve richards

Thank you York Literature Festival 📚 for a thought-provoking evening with Chris Mullin We’ll be back tomorrow for more political conversation with Rafael Behr

Hello @firstbus. I have been at the Moorlands close bus stop in Osbaldwick for 15 minutes. When I arrived, the sign said ‘bus due in 4 minutes …3 minutes …5 minutes… 4 minutes’. So - 15 minutes and waiting.

Gullis says he will vote against the unamended bill only 'if there's a sufficient number of colleagues willing to do the same'.

Asked what the number looks like at the moment, he replies: 'I'm not a numbers guy.'

No wonder Downing St is calling their ridiculous bluff. ~AA

To put it simply (re Mr Bates, and re funding cuts): good democracy needs good drama (and good fiction, and music and....)

As the PM repeatedly enjoins us to ‘stick with the plan’ I am reminded of the old joke about the man who jumped off the top of the Empire State Building. As he passed each floor on the way down, he was heard to shout ‘OK so far!’

This is shameful. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/d…
