The Supreme Court, America, and the rest of the civilized world CAN'T STAND YOU, Spanky. But hey, you still have Russia and Kim Jong Un and other murderous dictators, so there's that.

Nigel Farage has resigned to spend more time focusing on his political caree- ah no his party got 0 seats. His famil- ah no they left him. His second famil- ah no they left him too. Nigel Farage has resigned to spend more time with his racism.

Dominic Cummings complains at his Downing Street press conference that there had been a long string of inaccurate stories about him. Welcome to my world.

I have left my flat a total of six times over the past seventy five days - to visit a shop which is literally five metres from my front door. There is literally nothing I want more than to visit Durham and see family rn. Seething with rage.

Yesterday I spoke to someone who encountered Cummings a lot in the education world. They predicted Cummings would stay: "The man's a sociopath. If he's sacked he won't stay quiet, and he knows where too many bodies are buried." It's as convincing an explanation as anything.

If Dominic Cummings isn't gone by the end of today, @BorisJohnson is insulting every grieving relative I have had to call to explain why they can't visit their dying loved one in hospital. Every distraught family member not at a funeral. Every frontline carer risking their life.

Hey Dominic Cummings, you’re an Islington resident. Did you know, we have a wonderful network of Mutual Aid groups supporting residents self-isolating with C-19? We can do shopping, pick-up prescription, even walk your dog. We support everyone no matter who they are.

Hey, Dominic Cummings, I haven’t driven the 120 miles to see my Mum in 8 weeks, to even sit in her garden and have a cup of tea with her. I will be driving down next week for her funeral. I’m guessing you’ll get to see your mum again though. #DominicCummingsMustGo

At what point will the majority see these fuckers for what they are? How many lies will it take? Every citizen has been in a deeply politicised situation for months, and this blatant disregard for every one of us should, finally, be a turning point. Wake the fuck up.

Covid19 will cost the state £132bn. Sounds like a crisis. But Total value of land in UK is £5tn, and half of it is owned by the richest 1% of us. 30% is owned by aristocrats. So create a #LandValueTax (like Switzerland has) of 1.3% for 2 years, and Covid19 is paid for.
