@realDonaldTrump You admire Winston Churchill, yes? During a speech in 1904 he argued that tariffs would be detrimental to the economy, saying "For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."
On #LBC Iain Duncan Smith says without qualification that work cures anxiety and depression, then goes further and says those are not medical conditions at all.
Needless to say, Ferrari did not ask him for his medical qualifications.
I mean, you *can* claim, but you won't get it. Just like people voted for a Labour government that was compassionate and knew what the fuck it was doing, but did we get it....?
Watching Kemi Badenoch do a press Q&A. She's just said you can claim disability benefits if you have constipation or acne. Please can journos push back on this utter nonsense?
@RaeA_Smith @UNHumanRights Labour government: "You're just not trying hard enough, you can get out of poverty if you get off your arse and work like a useful, normal member of society"
Benjamin Netanyahu has been indicted as a war criminal.
His government is systematically killing and starving the people of Gaza.
He will be remembered as one of the monsters of modern history.
And Trump welcomed him to the White House.
@riotgrandma72@BBCPolitics Because the BBC don't have a spine, due to the fact that they are kowtowing to the government. They claim to be independent, but it couldn't be further from the truth!
"I have people at this table can't speak nearly as well."
Well @realDonaldTrump they fucking should, especially since they work for you, and that you've just made English the official language of your own country! You utter moron! #Trump https://t.co/adcZk2Re1L
Good morning! I tried to take a picture of the sunshine, but it was too bright. So you’re getting the remains of my home-made breakfast instead.
An important day for me: I am recording the audio book for “Somewhere, a boy and a bear” - my biography of A A Milne coming in Sept.
Just because his "friends" say something (don't get me started on why so-called friends would be talking to the media anyway) doesn't make it so.
And just because it's open season on @GreggAWallace doesn't mean that he hasn't been treated really shittily by the BBC.
I’m still digesting the detail.
But let one thing remain clear:
The removal of jury trial from thousands of accused people is being proposed not from principle. Nor necessity.
But because successive governments - of all parties - chose to take a chainsaw to the justice system.
