The more we learn from the past the more we can influence the future.

@annaturley People believe what they want believe but if we rejoin the EU, VAT on private education is not allowed. The view there is that all education is sacrosanct. They seem to have a more mature approach.

@JonathanBrash The issue with Bridget isn’t her background it’s is she competent? Based on the recent Delta Poll it seems that teachers resoundingly say no she’s not. And she needs to deal with that.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@bphillipsonMP I’ve had a look at the recent Delta Poll and it presents a damning view of both the government and of you by teachers. Comparing your view of what you’re doing and the teachers’ views, you’re on different planets. And that seriously undermines your position.

@Dan4Barnet And there’s me thinking it was Ofgem that sets the energy cap. And if I remember correctly the system was established by the previous government.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

Can

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@jk_rowling Do these politicians realise what utter clowns they make themselves look? Or do they really believe we’re all stupid and they’re on some intellectually higher plain? I despair at the level of political incompetence to which this country has sunk.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@DannyVet How many billions have been lost? From where, precisely, have they been lost? How can you separate them from the economic consequences of Covid, Ukraine and the energy crisis? And what is your evidence that specifically leads to your conclusion?

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@montie @TrevorPTweets You may say she got irritated. I’d say she was passionate. I like passionate. We need more of it in this dreadful era of risk aversion, compliance and technocracy.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@GavinBarwell @DavidGHFrost The downfall of the Conservative and Labour Labour parties has occurred because both thought they had to compete in the centre. But each now represents a small minority. Both need to return to their roots and offer different visions for the future. Champagne socialism is dead.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@RichardBurgon Oppositions don’t win elections. Governments lose them. The division, self indulgence and mind blowing stupidity of this government & your party is why Reform is where it is. They have nothing to offer but, to millions, that’s better than what your deluded party is inflicting

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@lukejcr @joshsimonsmp This election is beyond belief. Vote Labour to terminate an elected Labour PM with a huge majority. Vote for any other party to keep that PM in power. Your party makes the Tories look like a success story. None of you is thinking about the country. All of you are self indulging

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@blaiklockBP House prices are determined by supply & demand. House building ramped up post WW2. Houses became more affordable. Building has slowed down in this century and the rate of population growth has increased. Houses are now less affordable. The only solution is to build more houses.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@adamboultonTABB At the very least, you must be extremely gullible

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@GoodwinMJ No one can be sure about the result of the next GE. All the main polls show similar trends. Reform has stalled. Labour & Tory are roughly level well behind Reform. Labour is still easing down. Tories are easing up. Greens are gaining significant momentum. But it could all change

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@JonathanBrash Decent public services can only be achieved through the creation of a vibrant & profitable private sector to fund them. At the time of the GE @UKLabour appeared to understand that. Sadly it’s now clear you didn’t. The likelihood of achieving those goals is now fast diminishing.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@CalvinBailey @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk I’m not a Reform enthusiast but they’re riding high in the polls while @UKLabour are tanking due to a level of incompetence that is without parallel in my lifetime. I suggest you would gain more by putting your own house in order rather than criticising others.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@Dan4Barnet @Conservatives Never assume anything and never forget history. Churchill set an interesting example about why. He defected from the Conservatives to the Liberals and then defected back again. It’s four years until the next election. A lot can and, almost certainly will, happen

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@NicholasLissack @Keir_Starmer Out of touch and out of their depths. They came into government with no vision, no strategy and no plan for government. In opposition their entire strategy revolved around undermining individual Tory politicians, who invariably proved easy targets

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@montie Your points are correct except the fact that previous Tory governments didn’t follow through with their stated policies doesn’t mean that a future Tory government would do the same. That’s more about your agenda rather than anything else.

[Anthony Pratt @AnthonyPratt17]

@carryonkeith I’m old enough to remember Margaret Thatcher being similarly dismissed. I’m not saying you’re wrong; just that the unexpected sometimes happens. Never assume anything!
