The world knew Putin was a tyrant, but that wasn't a problem for the Tory party. Gavin Esler tells a story of moral bankruptcy.

Look how a few decorative details (dentils, brick lintels, string courses, a portico, textured bricks) lift the building on the left above that on the right &liberate it from the tyranny of transitory utility. It’s 200 years older. I bet it will last>200 years longer. #DeepGreen

Boris is sinking, clutching at straws. his rumbled & discredited cronies now desperately smearing Sue Gray, having described her as unimpeachable when it suited them, just as they hailed the NI protocol as brilliant before claiming it was unworkable & signed under duress.Busted.

In case this needs explaining, Oakeshott went to the Telegraph because only they would manipulate the leaks to fit the ridiculous anti-lockdown narrative punted by her ridiculous boyfriend’s ridiculous political party. Whatever it is, it’s not journalism.

"No, honestly, I'm fine, you just take your fucking video"

Dear 🇬🇧, We're now 9 weeks into 2023 and so far an estimated 4,500 people have died in the back of a delayed ambulance or in a packed A&E dept, here in the 6th wealthiest country on Earth. All preventable deaths. All avoidable. Our govt couldn't care less about you. 🤬 #SOSNHS

What we know from these leaks is the utter contempt in which ministers hold teachers, the police and frankly the public as well Laura Kuenssberg

Tory MP Chris Heaton-Harris: “There was no playbook for fighting a pandemic of this kind in this modern time” There was Exercise Cygnus…which your government ignored #bbclaurak

Not just waiting lists. 6 week appointmenta being arranged in 3 months then cancelled and rearranged 6 months later. Appointment letters not being typed up 3 months later. The Tories have done this, the Tories have put your life at risk. They'd rather you die than live, saves

Femi Isabel Oakeshott Julia Hartley-Brewer All you need to know about Oakeshott is here in one headline.If She was acting in the public interest she would be publishing this thedailybeast.com/how-a-journali…

In January, over 45,000 people in Oxfordshire waited for more than 2 weeks to see their GP. 12,000 waited for over a month. I asked the Minister to meet with me to discuss the problems facing GPs. He refused. This Conservative govt is letting patients and doctors down.

Odious

Easy to bluster when you have no conscience or humanity. Or logic.

Please watch this video⏬️ RAAC Jonathan Slater, former Perm Sec at DofE, stating very clearly how 300/400 schools needed rebuilding per year. Tories reduced budget to just 100. Then in 2021 Sunak, as Chancellor, slashed that to just 50 schools per year! More Tory govt lies

Should the British government be worried about the dwindling status on the global stage of the UK stock market?

Dear #RobertDeNiro, oh how I love thee. theguardian.com/film/2023/oct/…
