Firstly, is Parliament holding the executive to account? No: the Tories lied their way to a majority through our absurd FPTP system and are using #COVID19 measures to attack the limited agency of the lickspittle mediocrities filling their benches.

Parliament has also chosen to neuter itself on the most pressing issue of the age: we are still hurtling towards a ruinous No Deal #Brexit and yet it’s hardly discussed in either house.

Most disappointingly of all, the BBC has been wrecked by Cameron’s politicisation of its senior roles, and now functions as the most dismal regime propagandist.

I knew the Tories were atrociously corrupt, so the most shocking thing for me about the #RussiaReport was that the Security Services are not doing anything to protect us either. Whether through incompetence or corruption, they’re not on the case.

My feeling, however, is that we won’t get the critical mass until *after* a ruinous No Deal exit, and the attendant job losses and food shortages. Such is the diabolical power of the RW press, too many people are lulled by the fashy propaganda.

I hope that I’m wrong, but until the worst economic impact kicks in, and until Kent is one big lorry park and supermarket shelves are empty, I think #Brexit is too much of an abstract to get people on the streets in the numbers required.

Portland had its first day without tear gas in weeks after state police took over from federal agents guarding a courthouse that had become a battleground for agitators and tactical units.

This shows the power of sustained, intersectional protest: even Kevlar-clad fashy goons can be beaten. A grand alliance of groups is our best hope in the UK, whenever the protests begin in earnest.

A crucial point: don’t wait for leadership or organisation. Leadership emerges from unexpected places… Or it won’t, which is fine: the great strength of protest is self-directed action. Everyone can be Spartacus.
