Much of Liz Truss’s book reads like a 2 star review on AirBNB

#LizTruss , the short term Tory PM with a fixation on the way that the Deep State brought her down, bemoans the failure of the Downing Street setup to help when she had a common cold!

Finally, someone said it.

Stickers on THE SPINE of a book? What fresh hell is this? #booktwitter

Bob Fry i genuinely think I have more chance to dragging Starmer left by voting green than by helping Starmer get a landslide

had a very friendly chat with my labour parliamentary candidate today

told him I wasn’t voting for him (will be 1st time I’ve not voted Labour in a GE) largely cos of Wes Streeting & Labour’s lousy policy on NHS & benefits (also their failure to stand up against rising racism)

The nation collectively spits its tea over the television as Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP, Michael Green, Sebastian Fox and Corinne Stockheath have just appeared on BBC News (UK) accusing Angela Rayner 🌹 of being dishonest.

What a time to be alive….

BBC devote first six minutes of the 10.00 news to allegations over which of two houses #AngelaRayner may have lived in a decade ago.

This includes soundbite from #GrantShapps who had four identities, in dodgy dealings, a few years ago! Something the BBC never tells its viewers.

The Tories have opened a huge can of worms here…

On average, Tory MPs own many more homes than their Labour counterparts.

I wonder how many sitting Tory MPs and cabinet members are registered to vote in homes they do not live in?

Wanna bet there are dozens?

Okay… Exciting! We have the plan for the tournament of Gothic prose writers in the 18th and 19th centuries. And here it is! We start tomorrow. Start taking your bets and cheering your favourites 👀

Bad day for Labour as Keir Starmer joins forces with the Daily Swastika.

Interesting juxtaposition from the BBC.

#AngelaRayner being investigated by police over tax.

#PostOfficeInquiry continues, but police not charging any of the executives or Tory politicians who knew about false imprisonment of post office staff.

The Armed Forces boxset is the best piece of vinyl I own, so i just thought I would do a thread of what’s in this great collection for anyone that’s thinking of buying it or just wants to see what you get in it cause it’s really cool.

Here it is: my one-minute pitch to be Mayor of London, as broadcast on BBC One. Yes, this is real. #VoteBinface

As a chess fan, I thought Garry Kasparov was one of the world's geniuses....I may have overestimated the strength of the position.

Praise for #LizTruss is a dubious move?!

Aya the Pacific Parrotlet (smallest breed of parrot in the world) gets excited about anything that crinkles, particularly crisp packets!
