When I wrote 'I Find That Offensive!' few yrs ago, sketching out regressive trends associated w Identity Politics, statue toppling, 'You can't say that' culture, critics accused me of setting up straw men. In truth, I underestimated how toxic it'd become: amazon.co.uk/STILL-Find-Tha…
Has the UK reached boiling point? @Fox_Claire argues that it is no surprise that democracy is in crisis when any democratic action taken is demonised by government. #Epping
The unions are bringing about their own demise. The founding members of the early union movement must be spinning in their graves.
British policing is totally lost. Essex Police escorted masked counter protestors to the Epping protests despite the likelihood it would result in public disorder. Beyond ridiculous.
Exclusive: Essex Police admit they did escort masked 'Stand Up To Racism' counterprotestors towards the Bell Hotel last Thursday.

And another one’s gone, another one’s gone, another one bites the dust… @RightNUFC
Uni Party Super injunction has ‘Slapped Press Freedom across the face’ Can you just trust us? they say: No! We have to show Press Freedom & parliamentary procedure cannot be subverted behind our backs @Fox_Claire
“There is a danger that social cohesion ends up becoming a privilege and a premium of the wealthy and the middle class.” Asylum hotels are an example of an issue that has been a “disaster” for social cohesion, says More In Common’s @LukeTryl.
Here’s Defra Secretary Steve Reed getting called out from all sides regarding the Labour government’s farming policies & in particular, inheritance tax. His responses are a masterclass in slippery political deflection and denial.
Kenny McBride's application to appeal against Scottish Ministers for being sacked for being GC hasn't been a cause celebre and, indeed, he had to represent himself. But he won the right to appeal and might be worthy of a bit more support.
Kenny McBride is in court today to appeal the outcome of claim of unfair dismissal. Tribunal Tweets has permission to live tweet the proceedings. It is expected to begin at 2 pm today.
The Tories will never leave the ECHR. What they will do is a review, a paper, a review of the paper, a committee, a panel, a review of the panel. But they will never leave.

Labour's Jobs Tax is destroying our great British pubs. 69,000 jobs have already been lost - and today, Brewdog announced the closure of 10 of their bars. Pubs are the heart of our communities - we need to back them, along with the workers who keep them going. 🍻
Why Afghan data breach cover-up is a genuine scandal "When politicians fail, they should be ready to accept responsibility, and only those that do should be given the opportunity for redemption" My latest @TheScotsman column on the Afghan data breach. bit.ly/4l3vces
A splendid evening at the theatre to see #ByRoyalAppointment with our friend @DreyfusJames who, along with a stellar cast gave magical performances. Thank you @HeatherB_WRN & @WomensRightsNet for organising! A very special play and absolutely worth seeing if you get the chance
The people of Palestine deserve so much better than the cranks of Britain who have claimed their cause
36 days of silence on the rape gangs inquiry. Today on the final day of parliament until summer recess, the Home Office have provided no update to Parliament about progress on the national inquiry into grooming gangs. The government completely fails to understand how fragile…
Unions should be there to stand by their workers. This is a betrayal of those they represent. Another organisation which has been captured by the group think and leaves intellect and logic at the door.
Staggering. Utter tactical stupidity then naked denial until found out. The full English of incompetence.
Exclusive: Essex Police admit they did escort masked 'Stand Up To Racism' counterprotestors towards the Bell Hotel last Thursday.
Is the government scared of the British public? @Fox_Claire denounces the cheek of the government trying to silence any dissent against the handling of the Afghanistan scandal.
The atmosphere on Britain is not going to be suspended b/c Parliament having holiday Massive outbreak of concerns around hotels & immigration massively cutting through People feel not being heard or listened to Gov not listening to Public @Fox_Claire
Incredible - in debate on press freedom, no-one mentioned the super-injunction/Afghan scandal. So I did. But, also, despite parliament voting last March to limit foreign state ownership of UK newspapers to 5%, behind our backs this Labour government has raised it to 15% using a…
