@JennMJacksonPhD No public holidays have been announced as a result of the Queen's death in the UK. In fact, several strikes have been cancelled as a consequence, so if anything the British people are working more, not less. Sorry if that doesn't suit your agenda.

@michaelgove @JW3London So any criticism of Israel is anti-semitic? Does that mean that all of the many Jewish people in this country and elsewhere that have been stridently critical of Israel's actions in Palestine are all anti-semites?

@MrNishKumar An unelected Prime Minister who is talking about the "will of the people" in the context of a policy that: 1. has never appeared in a manifesto; 2. has never been voted on by the people; and 3. is, according to polling data, manifestly unpopular with the people.
