Gove. All these bloody Tories denying us of Portillo moments.

Serious question, what sort of candidates are they going to have with such short notice?

People still extracting their own teeth.

Millions on NHS waiting lists.

If youโ€™re incapacitated or dead, who cares about money ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

P.S. You donโ€™t control global energy prices ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I have a photograph of my mother. The last one taken of her, through perspex, by my sister, when I wasnโ€™t allowed to travel to the home.

I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ll ever share it.

She was stripped of her dignity and any social connection.

Never forget, not forgiven

I remember two election evenings, 1992 and 1997.
As soon as the exit polls were revealed in 1992, my friends should have just gone home and gone to bed. It was dismal.
1997, I was at my in-laws on my way to a Scottish Tory wedding.
I donโ€™t think I could face another 1992.

Cllr. Matthew Goodwin-Freeman Conservatives I didn't realise you controlled the global price of gas? In which case, why did you let it get so high in the first place?

You would do well to remember, lots of us can see through the lies.

John Redwood is stepping down as an MP but we will never forget his โ€œbraveโ€ attempt to sing the Welsh national anthem when he was Welsh secretary

I used to work for a multinational and had relatively close observations of the board/senior directors.
Iโ€™d nearly always be wowed by them. Mostly by how on the ball and sharp they were, but sometimes Iโ€™d just be amazed that theyโ€™d got there, because they were so utterly mediocre

Absolutely fantastic explainer from Ed Conway showing just what that 2.3% inflation figure really means for your pocket.

Inflation might be heading back towards 'normal' levels - but prices have risen 20% since 2021.

And that's why people are feeling poorer.

It really is a sad indictment of a party when they will happily write off billions of Covid fraud, but when it comes to poor people caring for others, nothing ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Weโ€™re talking about actual fraud versus simple mistakes.

No tears when postmasters were tragically taking their own lives due to stress.

No tears when postmasters were being jailed.

No tears when postmasters had their whole communities turning against them.

Tears now are too late.

Paula Vennells must be held to account.
