When I was growing up we had no money to buy books. All I had was my local library. I spent hundreds of hours in it. But for that library I might never have become a lawyer. A thousand have closed under Conservative Governments. It’s almost like they don’t want us to read

This is Iraq right now

In the last 48 hrs Israel has launched air strikes on Gaza 🇵🇸 Iran 🇮🇷 Lebanon 🇱🇧 Iraq 🇮🇶 and Syria 🇸🇾

No condemnation from the West. Not a single world

Ian Hislop, 'Conservative MP Mark Menzies asked for money from local donors to be put into his own account.. Thank goodness he wasn't fiddling his council tax for a small amount.. Then it would be a proper scandal' #HIGNFY

'Last time he was in trouble it was for paying a

Have you guessed why Starmer is saying no Freedom of Movement for 18-30 year olds yet?
Cons and Labour are forcing Brexit to work, the 12 Freeports and 74 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are capital hungry enclaves that need the domestic workforce to toil in them on shit wages

It's very revealing that Laura Kuenssberg has posted just 4 tweets in the last 24 hours:

3 are about Peter Murrell (husband of Nicola Sturgeon) and a retweet of an old Liz Truss interview.

Yet absolutely nothing about Mark Menzies or the other Tory scandals.

Why Laura Kuenssberg?

BREAKING: RAFAH IS BEING BOMBED TONIGHT

Shocking footage captures Israeli airstrikes hitting a residential area in Rafah.

Imagine having to live through this night after night.

Simon Case's smug grin, while going on unspecified Medical Leave just as he was about to be grilled by the Covid Inquiry.

Is this the kind of Sick Notes Rishi Sunak is talking about?

Simon Case, greenlighted Carrie Johnson's £58,000 wallpaper.

Helped Johnson get his £800,000 'loan' for the BBC Chairman job.

Was chief civil servant at no.10 during Partygate, and the main person who should have stopped them.

They made sure he didn't have to testify.

If #RishiSunak lived a day in the life of a person in poverty on UC, it'd buck his ideas up.

Myself and my colleagues maintain that everyone in power should be forced to spend a month on the front line in social housing to start to understand the problems the poor face.

Last week Chris Mason was on about six times to cover Angela Rayner.

Have I somehow missed his reports on Mark Menzies?

1⃣ Stop the boats
2⃣ Stop the notes (GPs no longer issue sick notes)
3⃣ Stop the votes (voter ID)

The holy trinity of Conservative party policy and plans

Exclusive: Tories received legal advice that Mark Menzies's alleged misuse of campaign funds amounted to fraud but decided they weren't obliged to tell the police because it was donors' rather than party money, whistleblower claims. thetimes.co.uk/article/mark-m…

“Yeah, he’s fine, will be back in work on Monday.”

'You there boy wake up...have you got £6.5k to get me out of this flat?

Bad people won't let me go.

I'll pay you back out of my campaign funds cos I'm a Tory.'

Dear Mr Sunak,
On behalf of pretty much every doctor in the land, pretty much every person on a waiting list in the land, pretty much every sick person in the land, and increasingly most voters in the land...

Boris Johnson broke official rules by refusing to declare his links with a hedge fund that organised his visit to meet with the Venezuelan president, the UK's anti-corruption watchdog finds.

His punishment? Absolutely nothing

Mr Sunak, You know that “ongoing” investigation that you can’t address because it’s “ongoing”

Perhaps, it ought to be a police investigation where it’s “ongoing” rather than sat on by your office for 3 months where it wasn’t going anywhere

Hang on…

Thames Water had zero debt when it was privatised in 1989, it currently has £15.6bn.

How much have these ‘lenders’ syphoned off; why is no-one going to prison; and why is the public purse liable for this catastrophic failure?

Investors [sic] should be liable surely?
