Another ridiculous nonsensical Brexit “victory”.

Britain can’t ban live imports but celebrates banning 🇬🇧 exports,
a desperate headline.

Animals can be exported 500 miles from Scotland to Kent but not 50 miles from Kent to Calais 🤷‍♀️

Animals can be exported from anywhere in

The Treasury is using a Tory Party slogan in a public statement. This breaches the Civil Service Code and needs to be investigated.

🥳Heia Norge🥳

Norway is the 1st country to state they will formally accept a Palestinian State‼️

Ireland and Spain to follow!

You need to read this.

When Robert Jenrick isn’t drinking the tears of refugee children, he’s accepting substantial donations from Israeli and Australian billionaires.

Brilliant piecd by Peter Geoghegan @ democracyforsale.substack- one to follow. Solid investigative journalism.

Let us not overlook Rt Hon Johnny Mercer's central point: the idea that those who have made an enormous sacrifice for the country should be inhibited from voting so that students can also be inhibited is utterly and multiply abhorrent.

As Jenrick morphs from one nation Tory to refugee hating super bastard, his billionaire donors are being careful not to reveal themselves.

Should be referred to the electoral commission but the Tories have hijacked that and the press? Too busy blowing Tories.

Democracy! 🇬🇧

Interesting line from Tom Witherow in the Times this morning. Paula Vennells refused to resign from the NHS Trust she chaired over her role in the #PostOfficeScandal until a fellow director threatened to resign:

Excellent. I’ve been arguing for this for ages.

#ToryPartySewageCrisis global corporations’ control is taking us back to feudalism.

Feargal Sharkey is right! Water Co’s fleecing/poisoning British!

Brexit trade pact CPTPP corporations can sue govts which act to protect citizens but harm profits.

Wow! @ Infected Blood Scandal #C4News

'John Major was forced to apologise after suggesting it has all been bad luck'

'Ken Clarke was accused of showing contempt to the inquiry when he gave evidence'

What's wrong with these people 😯

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims the PIP benefit awards people £1000s per month

Most only get about £250 a month, max £720 per month

Meanwhile Mel claims £1,250 a month in rent on expenses, plus utility bills and council tax

He even claimed for a £20 book from Waterstones

Rishi Sunak will take a select group of journalists with him on a trip to Vienna this week for a PR stunt with the Austrian Chancellor.

No word from Downing Street on which news organisations have been selected and why

Dave Sumner Smith Whatever the answer it doesn't address the core problem - resource.
There used to be a bank system - staff willing/ available (at higher rates bc of uncertainty of when they may be called on).
That got outsourced.
Now private agencies make profit. Time to bring it back in house.

Dave Sumner Smith Yes, and use the money saved to pay the NHS nurses well enough so they don't have to go off to the private sector and leave the NHS to hire them back from agencies at 5 times the cost, most of which is skimmed off by tory cronies. Ditto doctors. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

'the National Audit Office just dropped some shocking numbers on the real cost of Brexit’s new border checks:
The UK government is forking out a jaw-dropping £4.7 billion on border management programmes'

BREXIT.

Lord Walney on #Ridge talking about a lack deterrent when it comes to protesters. The criminal justice system is on its knees. Rape almost decriminalised. Oh and he has links to oil and arms industries.

Losing my mum & wife to COVID was a heartbreak that words can't capture.
Yet through sharing their stories I've connected with incredible campaigners & found solace in a Twitter community that understands. To my friends & followers thank you for being a part of my journey. ♥️

Truly shocking state of law & order after 14 years of Tory Govt.

Arrests have already halved since 2010.

Yet now police are being told to make even fewer arrests.

Because of irresponsible Tory failures & chaos.

More criminals let off. More victims let down. That’s Tory policy

You didn’t resign when you overruled Tower Hamlets local authority to give Richard Desmond a £45m tax break in return for a £12k donation.

How about that 35k donation from Idan? Or the 5k donation from Nathanson?

Does it literally pay to go hard right, Robert? We’re onto you.

The Tories have laid grenades in Labour’s way, we have a lot more pain to come.
