Israeli hostages haven't all been returned so IDF soldiers 'died in vain', complain Israelis? And what about the 20,000+ Palestinians sacrificed on the altar of Israeli bloodlust?!

What's truly astonishing about Tory imbecile Susan Hall is not only did she grow up in London, she's been on the London Assembly for 7 years. Why doesn't she know that Hammersmith & Fulham is a single local authority? Surely she's seen lists of London boroughs?!

I don't often do plugs, but I'm recommending 'Pocket Power': it's like USwitch but a telephone service for older and digitally excluded people who often get stuck on crappy utility deals without access to the internet.

What most annoys me about is not just paying more for less, it's having to shop more often because obviously what I buy doesn't last so long because there's less of it 😡

The trouble with saying 'Labour would take us back to square one' is that square one means before Tory austerity, Liz Truss, Brexit, before the Conservatives wrecked the nation and trashed our politics!

The measles vaccine prevents measles. The Covid vaccine doesn't prevent Covid. The worst legacy of the pandemic is that people's experience of vaccines is that they don't really work, which is not true of most vaccines.

Port Talbot says ta-ta to Tata Steel... making Britain the only advanced economy incapable of producing our own steel end to end! The Tories have destroyed Britain's industrial economy.

Tory rebels voted against the government on a 3-line whip - surely that's grounds for kicking them out of the party? Boris Johnson expelled 21 MPs for doing the same! Rishi Sunak is too weak to boot out these swivel-eyed loons!

Rwandan travel agent Paul Kagame reminds disappointed customer Jimmy Dimly that flights to Kigali are not ATOL protected.

‘We paid £240 million upfront in cash. Our flights were cancelled at the last minute. Because I didn’t use a credit card I’ve lost the lot!’, Jimmy whined.

If I was Rishi Sunak, I would withdraw the whip from the rebels - particularly Suella Braverman and her lickspittle Robert Jenrick. Destroy her hopes of succeeding him as Tory leader.

This pricing nonsense is something that particularly annoys me - comparing cost per 100g vs cost per 1kg. Do @Asda think their customers are so stupid they can't do the maths?

It's rich of a Tory MP to criticise social services for failing Bronson Battersby, when the Tories have absolutely gutted funding for social services and put so many vulnerable people at risk.

The Bronson Battersby story is truly awful. But it sounds like police and social services had no grounds for forcing entry. The father had custody which is unusual, and implies the mother was considered a risk. I'd call this a tragic accident.
