Over 40 years ago I visited the Anne Frank House, Amsterdam. It’s always haunted me, particularly the basement exhibition on fascist parties - the National Front (later BNP) was marked out as a particular danger.
Yvette Cooper is wrong, we must draw comparisons with the 1930s.

the problem with normalising people *saying* stuff that's very extreme, even if literally everyone hears it and thinks "woah, that's too extreme!!", is that over time it normalises everything not-quite-as-extreme as that too, in effect it draws a new line in the sand

Why are @SkyNews casually comparing the number of UK asylum seekers with prisoner numbers?
What a shockingly inappropriate conflation and one which will only serve to further demonise innocent, vulnerable individuals seeking safety.

@a_webb @secrettory12 There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?

You Tories who think you can bat away criticism of your grotesque inhumanity by clutching your pearls about being compared to Nazis…
No. You deserve the label. You deserve the anger. You deserve the shame. You know there are other ways but you choose this.
You deserve it all.

Labour are fighting the Conservatives Fascist policy by saying it isn't efficient enough.

What's beautiful about IWD is how it's changed over the decades. It used to be about working women doing things like going on strike (drab, and unchic!), but now you too can have a glossy ✨woman in leadership✨ profile to inspire other girlbosses in their ascent.
If they can do this to the Deplorables, they will do it to you. Don't say you weren't warned.

This 100m figure is - I would guess - a ref to the UN’s calculation that 100m are fleeing conflict and disaster. But most do not cross a border. 55 million are “internally displaced” - eg Syrians who fled from Aleppo to Idlib. The idea they are all coming to UK is absurd. https://twitter.com/adambienkov/status/1633086222582132737

KU is an author trap. It is a very successful author trap, in part because when you sign up it doesn't look like a trap.
I'm not the first to say this, and I won't be the last. Many indie authors have been realizing they are trapped on KU but don't know how to escape.
The good news: escape is absolutely possible.
The bad news: fast, easy, or painless -- you can't have all three. Often, you can only have one.
@Richard_Littler toupees catch fire less often.

I saw someone driving a Tesla today. It must be gutting to have spent all that money on a car only for it to be now perceived by other road users as a kind a 4-wheel toupee.
@JosGallacher we’ve had 30 years of declining buying power and massive asset inflation. What does growth mean if not more of the same?

#Labour wants to force over 50s back to work. Never understood the term ‘economically inactive’ if you’re retired & pay your bills you contribute to the economy. If you’re on benefits & pay your bills you contribute. What does ‘economically inactive’ really mean? #ItWasAScam

Indeed. Labour should continue doing all it can to entice those coming from National Action, Patriotic Alternative, and Britain First. Perhaps manning the Channel with gunboats will finally prove Labour have laid the antisemitism accusations to bed once and for all. https://twitter.com/willgeorgelloyd/status/1633055856605507586

I hate these people so much. They are the slimey dregs that coagulate at the very bottom of the emptiest, coldest, darkest, most infected region of the human soul. https://twitter.com/LouisaJamesITV/status/1633156203701485568
