So you criticise Israel and get sacked. What have we become?

It’s amazing how short our memories are. The man who wanted a black woman killed prospers under #Sunak ’s regime. While we all remain silent. I wonder why? #abbott #hester

When will the west realise that the war against #gaza has turned into a war against children and young people? We should all support the students protests against the daily atrocities.

It seems you had to be a complete second class fuckwit with early onset dementia to rise to a senior position in the Post Office during the last 20 years. Barry, Earl of Mike Andrews 💚 Christopher Hawtree Tom Murtha. Retired.

Bill Randall Tom Murtha. Retired. Barry, Earl of Christopher Hawtree We used to ask in job interviews at NCHA if the candidate had anything in their history which would cause us embarrassment if it subsequently came to light. Can’t think that’s a question asked at Tory MP selection panels.

Every time I hear a Conservative MP trumpeting on the wireless I expect the interviewer to conclude by asking 'Anything personal you would like to share with our listeners before it appears in The Times?' Tom Murtha. Retired. Mike Andrews 💚 Barry, Earl of Christopher Hawtree

You look across the Atlantic and see what passes for politics there and despair as you watch the same thing happening in the U.K. Politicians who lie and deceive and a media which reports every word without question or challenge. This is the way fascism begins and the world ends.

The Summit asked for speakers. As I’ve always suggested a joint ⁦Chartered Institute of Housing⁩ ⁦National Housing Federation⁩ housing conference I put my name forward for one last speech on housing’s future. I’ve heard nothing. Maybe I’m past my sell by date☹️
