The newsletter is out. It's about the Rwanda deportation flight and Marina Hyde's column about it:
The jester joins the cabin crew
"Marina Hyde's 'bit' on Rwanda deportation flights shows the limits of smirking satire."

A little thread for Mr Starmer.
Let’s start with the resignation letter. It was the weakest of the plotters by some distance.
Essentially, ‘Dear Jeremy, I’m quitting because everyone else is.’

Over the past few weeks, we've seen a huge and growing movement of people resist government's abhorrent Rwanda plan.
It's not just lawyers' who are standing up for people's rights - it's thousands of us, out on the streets, writing to our MPs, challenging airlines. 1/🧵

Still quite pleased with how this short article turned out https://francisfish.com/organisational-muddiness/
@philipjohn we could've had May's deal and still had free movement etc. but instead we've got the clown car nonsense we have now.
@philipjohn I think so, yeah. I've only seen the Novara interview with the author. Not sure I can bring myself to read a book about him tbh.
However, hard Brexit lies at his door and no-one's picked up on it. Very interesting,
Problem is, I don't trust either of these "alternatives" either. It's the status quo that's killing us.
