@oflynnsocial It's nothing short of bizarre how much it burns right wingers that train drivers earn decent wages. Bust 'em down to minimum wage, right Paddy?

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@Jeremy_Hunt You'd never had it so good, say the Tories (again), who are plainly still baffled that they lost.

Can households just say 'yeah, but 0.6% gdp growth in the last quarter' and get waved through the checkout at tesco?

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@montie The Tories seem to accept there was / is a cost of living crisis in the UK. But they still think that collectively defending workplace pay & conditions in response is evil.

Keep channelling that inner Thatcher, guys. Pretending it's still 1979 is a surefire vote winner 🏆

@rcolvile Wages = giving people lots of money, apparently.

You heard it here first people. No need to actually turn up and perform.

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@michelledonelan I suppose this is an appeal to return to the era of out, loud and proud pathological liars, led by Johnson, and much mourned by Tories everywhere.

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@grantshapps @Keir_Starmer We already knew the Tories are the party for shit in Britain's rivers and seas. So it's no great leap that they're now for smog in it's towns and cities.

It's a strange electoral stance, but I suppose they will roll pretty well any dice at this juncture.

@LiamFox 'Let's pop the champagne for a growth forecast of 0.4%' says Liam Fox, because it's better than Germany. Of all the Tories' recent scandals, maybe the biggest is their lack of ambition for Britain. Get a fucking grip.

@afneil Quite true. Had they *merely* applied commercial criteria and kicked him out with no questions asked, no issue. But then they pondered whether to give him special treatment. Big mistake to then deny him that.

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@afneil @CouttsandCo On the contrary. Seems Coutts' concerns about the risks of banking Farage were prescient. Not in the way they'd imagined, sure, but message to business is clear. NF will set his dogs on you. And when he does, only scorched earth will do. Avoid him at all costs.

@IanDunt Exactly this. Musk has success in one area. Then figures he must be omnipotent everywhere. These are the people running the show.

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@Samfr Does the Guardian link suggest the Tories' usual client publications just aren't reporting it?

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@CarrieRosePR Musk strikes me as a classic example of a guy having success in one sphere, then assuming he must be God's gift everywhere else. If it's all part of a Musk grand plan, then that might well be true. Appearances would have to be astonishingly deceptive.

@carolvorders @JohnnyMercerUK Mercer is the loyal puppy of British politics. Scampered round Johnson's feet for a long time, now the same for Sunak. Gets offered the veterans gig so the playboys can pretend they care. Accepts every time. Seems to really believe them. Adorable. 🐕‍🦺

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@carolvorders @JohnnyMercerUK It's odd, because the Tories think that decent raises for public sector workers are inflationary, and therefore morally wrong. Don't they?

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@adampeacock3 Remember this well. Australians made a huge fuss that Broad didn't walk when given not out, thereby acting entirely within the laws. Seems everyone's capable of an about face from time to time. 🤐

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@NicheSiteLady Seems I made this mistake - 50 articles published at once because of launching a new site, now nearly all crawled but not indexed. Is there a fix, or is it just a matter of waiting it out? Now I'm live, it'll anyway be more like 3 per week.

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@Otto_English Chances of rolling a double 6 on 2 dice are a little under 3%.

You're over twice as likely to die as you are to roll double 6.

How many takers now?

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@TomMcTague @DAaronovitch @rafaelbehr Searching for a grand compromise DUP/ERG would agree to is like looking for fairies at the bottom of the garden.

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@CentralBylines Anyone check whether that's really Lee's dad not a mate he's put up to pretend again? Cos it's nice to hear that Lee can at least still count on his old man's vote, but it's another distinctly dubious claim.

[Chris Tredwin @ChrisTredwin]

@hugorifkind @philritchie Incompetence. If we're even pretending that still matters.
