Dominic Cummings has this racialised take on David Lammy

There is an increasingly prevalent kneejerk online rightwing trait to call the presence of any black or Asian person a diversity hire

Not a word of challenge by #bbclaura to Chris Philip saying the tories would retrospectively apply deportation rules to people already legally settled in the UK. Presumably it struck her as completely fair and reasonable.. #laurakuenssberg

Graphic with the headline β€œLondon is the greatest city in the world” set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline.

The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the world’s best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.

Well done. Give yourself a big clap on the back when Nigel Farage is prime minister. You've played your part

β€˜The threat men like Kirk and Yaxley-Lennon create for people like me is not theoretical. It is real and it is daily. There is a direct line from their β€œfreedom of speech” to the fact I dared not step outside my own front door last Saturday.’

I'm announcing emergency funding to address a mental health crisis in Lincolnshire, where thousands of people are suffering from delusions, believing that Andrea Jenkyns gives a shit about them.

Just saying the Netherlands lend themselves to effortless cycling as a means of getting from A to B in a way that Ireland doesn't. It is a topographical fact

You do know the netherlands is mostly flat? And Ireland really isn't?

Also a shout out for Freshfields which is a giant city law firm and joined the smaller firms in taking action against trump. Let's remember the good guys too

The Good Friday Agreement was signed 27 years ago today. It was an act of delicate diplomacy, which delivered peace and security to a part of our country where those qualities had long been absent. Those achievements should never be taken for granted.

Sanders: We look to these law firms who have hundreds of well-paid lawyers to defend the
constitution, to defend the rule of law. They were more interested in getting millions of dollars from their lobbying.. They should be ashamed of themselves.
