What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

It undermines police and the law.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Also, to be fair, he doesn't know any history. Not that that's ever stopped him. With him it's just grift, grift,grift. I just need him to stop being all over the news
