    A moment of national shame. I can’t believe I live in a country where this barbaric act has taken place. Wrong on every level.

    Would have been simpler and safer to put £2k a month in everyone’s bank account, freeze all mortgages and tell everyone except essential workers to stay home.

    Glum Brits waiting in static line at Oslo airport for an analogue stamp, while EU and Norwegian passengers sweep through the digital barriers. Embarrassing Brexit self-harm in one shot. #brexit

    This is an extraordinary intervention from Bob Seely MP. Naming the UK lawyers who took money from Russian oligarchs to sue Britain journalists.

    “No government could commit to an outcome without knowing what it is...” so said Theresa May about the indicative votes. But that is precisely what the governmnent did with the referendum. #Brexit

    The sight of men with guns seizing unarmed young women and old people as hostages should finally end the idea that Hamas is a resistance movement. This is militant antisemitism and misogyny. To describe it any other way demeans the very concept of resistance.

    To be fair, this is a genuinely informed discussion of contemporary politics with an audience of 5000 people on a cold night with football on the telly. An impressively young crowd too. @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret #TRIPLive #TheRestisPolitics

    Wherever you stand on this debate, this position is impossible to justify. Gender-critical feminists are not comparable to antisemites.

    Stonewall is comparing women defending sex-based rights to anti-semites and anti-vaxxers are wearing yellow stars, all - they say - to defend their causes. All they are actually doing is exploiting Jewish history and demonstrating how little they care about the feelings of Jews

    Finally, this story is getting the coverage it merits. Now we need to hear from the people who represent the people in care homes @r&ra Coronavirus: Older people being 'airbrushed' out of virus figures

    Solidarity with my former colleagues at the Observer. I never worked with @soniasodha but her leader was a measured, reasonable and principled defence of free speech. Terf war embroils Guardian HQ | The Spectator

    This is a shameful moment. What a mess. Proud to have published @Docstockk in @IndexCensorship. A difficult day for academic freedom.

    Very impressed by quietly spoken VC of @SussexUni Adam Tickell on @BBCr4today unconditionally defending the free speech of @Docstockk. A model approach.
