An Election Day thread to remind you that, contrary to his bluster and lies, Boris Johnson is soft on crime, the governments in which he has served have brought the criminal justice system to its knees, and he is not proposing to do a single thing to fix it.

Health secretary Matt Hancock received £32,000 in donations from the chair of a think tank that wants the NHS abolished. That's the kind of person you are electing today if you vote Conservative. #GeneralElection2019 #GE2019 independent.co.uk/news/health/nh…

I have just read the PM's Brexit plan, and it has changed…. For the worse. Here are the big changes.

Utterly shameful decision by Government to ditch their responsibility to let lone refugee children rejoin their families. Hits the most vulnerable and desperate children. No reason at all for Govt to do this. They chose to. Shows what kind of PM this really is.
