@Nigel_Farage Like a team of once moderately successful solicitors now reduced to plying their ambulance chasing trade in collapsing A&E waiting rooms….
So Rishi Sunak just took a question from a hi-vis jacket-wearing man at a campaign event in a McVities warehouse.
It turns out the man is actually local Conservative councillor Ross Hills.
Hills just admitted to me to being asked to appear at the event

*must watch*
Rishi Sunak's car crash interview with @1Judilove
Judi Love, "People live in homes with damp.. NHS workers right now are queuing to go to food banks.. When are you going to do something to make a change, people are suffering"
Rishi Sunak starts talking about the online safety bill
Judi Love, "It's important for you to get into the juice of it, we've heard so many things.. What is happening now with regards to poverty in the UK"
Rishi Sunak again talks about the online safety bill
Judi Love, "What about the children who do not have the means of gas and electric in their homes, what are we doing to help those parents that are suffering.. We've got people going to work who are not eating because we are in a state of poverty.. What is going to happen, now"
Rishi Sunak, "Financial security is people's most acute concern.. We've been through a tough time: pandemic, war in Ukraine, energy bills.. We've provided support to people"
Judi Love, "Universal Credit?"
Rishi Sunak, "You saw me in the pandemic with furlough" - ignored over 3 million #ExcludedUK
Kay Adams, "You've got 4 million children living in poverty Prime Minister"
Rishi Sunak ignores her, "We've made sure our welfare system is working, benefits are being uprated, a big tax cut for those who are in work who will get more money in their bank account"
Judi Love, "How do you connect to these people? A lot of people are concerned that you cannot emotionally connect, because you haven't and dont live the life that they live. How do you connect with people when they are worried about knife crime, worried to sleep at home because of damp, when they're worried to take a day off sick because they dont want to miss that pay check. They need you to protect them as prime minister"
Rishi Sunak, "I point you to what happened in the pandemic.. All the things you just said were true then.. I knew the right thing was to step in and support people through it.. That's what I did.. I'd ask people to judge me by my actions.. That's what I've done that's who I am as a person.. That's how I was raised"
Judi Love, "How were you raised?"
Rishi Sunak, "I was, I was..."
Delighted to don my M & S dinner suit and clip on bow-tie to award Brewdog the TUC’s inaugural Bad Boss of the Month award.
A company that stopped paying the real living wage so it could invest in its staff…yes, really.
Remember when Amazon's 'Just Walk Out' grocery stores were hailed as the future of shopping? With no checkouts and fewer workers?
Well, it turns out the shops relied on 1,000 workers in India watching and manually adding up items in your trolley.
A @TranmereRovers stat for you. We have used 1027 senior players since we joined the league in 1921. Last week, v Mansfield, @Kieronmorrisx moved into the top 50 appearance makers on that list. As of yesterday v Wrexham, he is on 223 games in a Rovers shirt. ⚽️💪

He's profited from £135 MILLION worth of contracts with the Department of Health and Social Care.
