I anticipate this metric will only increase.

I’ve been in Rome since around 11pm on Thursday, so minus sleeping time let’s call that 28 conscious hours. Therefore:

I mean, you've gotta admire Theresa May's unwavering determination to deliver the shittest possible version of reality that will pass Parliament.

@tomstuart more than ever I hope that Scotland eventually leaves the UK and gives me a geographic anchor of identity that I can be unashamed of

"We'd love to do it properly, but we have deadlines to meet", they say.

"Doing it properly would be faster", I whisper quietly to myself.

There's not much more frustrating as a software consultant than watching a codebase slowly get worse.

Sure, each individual instance of "this is fine for now" isn't terrible, but over time, it's death by a thousand commits.

@genmon what can we do in the face of a government entrenched in fantasy, and an opposition too spineless to challenge a flawed referendum? This week I’ve just given up. Burn it all down, and hope that it’s such a disaster that Scotland leaves and everyone I care about moves there instead 😞

Her insistence that “Brexit must happen” just makes my blood boil.

In her mind there can be no possible circumstances where it doesn’t. It’s just insane. It was an advisory referendum won by a slim margin via a law-breaking campaign built on mistruths, but that result is the only fact that matters to her.

Asking the public to reaffirm their choice now the deal is known is NOT undemocratic, but it’s clear now that it’s her personal anti-immigration agenda that’s running the show.

@thomasfuchs sorry to hear that :( hope you're both holding up

The phrase "respect the vote" is code for "I don't care if circumstances have changed and people have realised all of the lies and mistruths that won the referendum, continuing with it serves my purposes"

I’ll be marching for a #PeoplesVote today, against this government’s awful handling of #Brexit.

A majority wouldn’t have voted to leave if they’d seen this disaster.

The Tories have taken an ill-conceived, illegally-campaigned advisory referendum result and turned it into something not even the majority of MPs believe in, a vile attempt to satisfy a handful of xenophobes and racists in their party and support base and thus maintain power. It’s repulsive.

@tomstuart A+++ content, immediate reshare

A distinct circle of hell is reserved for people who sit in shared offices talking louding into their phones.

A fiery pit within that circle is reserved for the subset who do it on speakerphone.

@king I'm open for challenges!
