I can be as critical as anyone of the government's occasionally muddled message on growth but Look! At! This! Chart!! Anything they've done pales next to this GIGANTIC UNFORCED ERROR COMMITTED IN 2016!

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet.
Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
There - renamed it!

They very proudly said that they'd claimed benefits for the minimum time possible and were working full time as soon as they were able to.

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

A thread: I write today from holiday in France where I am vacationing. Today I arrived at an AirBnb in a small hilltop village where the bookshelf held a book, entitled "Communism, Fascism, and Democracy," by Carl Cohen first published in 1962. Of course, I immediately turned to the fascism part 1/?
