Liz Truss stares out of a window, calling everything she sees “left wing”. Including the window and the frame. She looks down at her shoes. They are also left wing. Even the right one. She smiles. Everything is left wing. That is why she failed. Nothing to do with her.

So it turns out the courts were ordered to ‘rubber-stamp’ warrants for the rich power companies to break into the homes of those already unable to survive in the cold winter of the cost-of-living crisis, install pre-payment meters and leave them to freeze & starve. It’s evil!

On her own admission today, Liz Truss spent two years as chief secretary to the Treasury without knowing how pension markets work, and was totally surprised when they fell to pieces. What was she being paid for?

Anne Webb @secrettory12 There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?

A river of boiling shit flows through your town. You haven’t seen a tomato for 18 months. MOTD is 3 minutes long and narrated by a parakeet. Your salary is paid directly to British Gas. You solve a riddle to speak to a GP. You feel people come here because they want an easy life

Once more for the hard of thinking: Impartiality and political neutrality are NOT interchangeable concepts. If one political “side” is doing objectively bad things, the impartial response is to SAY SO. And you don’t have to “balance” it by pretend the other side are just as bad.

Think about ANY quintessentially British thing that you love; the NHS, pubs, the seaside, whatever... They’re all dying or under threat. And not one of them because of immigration. They are all that way because of a government that is telling you that immigration is the problem.

“I’m not familiar with that particular case”. Suella Braverman says she didn’t know about 12 refugees being killed in Rwanda in 2018 after protesting about their conditions. Moments earlier she insisted “Rwanda is safe for refugees”. “Rwanda is a safe country” she repeats.

Well let’s think shall we? 1. Our beaches are unusable since you filled the sea with raw human shit 2. Whole swathes of the UK hospitality industry went out of business because of Brexit 3. We’re all broke because you crashed the economy 4. Rocketing rail & petrol prices 5. Etc

It seems to me that "Brexit isn't the problem, it's how it's being implemented" is the new "guns don't kill people, people do"
