    The govt has been corrupt and unscrupulous in the way it has used the pandemic crisis as a way of promoting and enriching the private sector even as it becomes clear that the private sector can’t do it. That’s ‘ideology’ at work.

    So now Trump wants to push “patriotic education”? Josef Stalin and Mao would be impressed.

    The fact that billions of ££ have been pumped into the private sector rather than into our NHS during this pandemic is a national scandal.

    Rest In Peace Ruth Bader Ginsberg. A giant. Make sure another Kavanaugh doesn't replace her. Please vote blue.

    😅 Watch this space. Labour would rather keep the Tories in place and carry on up the Brexit. Jobs? They have nothing to do with Labour thinking. Remember GCC, PFI & the return of £2.5 billion to the UK Treasury? Money that could have been invested in Scotland. We see you.

    The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.

    "Instead of a lame duck president and Senate nominating and confirming, a new president and Senate — elected by the people only a few months from now — should make that important decision. I can't think of a fairer or more democratic process." – , May 9, 2016

    America lost a giant. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was shunned from courtrooms when she began her career because she was a woman. But she persisted, blazing a trail for millions of women and others who had been excluded or oppressed. RBG is a lioness of the law. She is irreplaceable.

    Twice-elected Obama wasn't allowed to have Merrick Garland confirmed during his final year in office but the white guy who finished in second place in the last election is going to get THREE Supreme Court picks including one less than 7 weeks from Election Day? No. No. No.

    Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish was that her seat would not be filled until a new president is installed! Senate Democrats, do not back down. You have a tough fight ahead but our future is on the line! No SCOTUS appointment before the election!!!
