Gosh, this sounds terrible.

Imagine losing 70% of your customers overnight…….

🤔

Or do we think someone might be being slightly economical with the truth?

Let’s dig in!

🚨 Breaking: New report this morning reveals that a primary shareholder in a Chinese spyware app injected 8 figures into a flailing business run by Hunter Biden right at the moment that he needed a cash infusion to handle his legal problems.

Always a pleasure to debate my old friend Jonathan Gullis, today on @bbc5live about high net immigration.

I am sick of politicians coming up with new ways to punish migrants who work in essential jobs all because of their own failure to invest in the services we need.

[Alex Kealy @alexkealy]

Does feel sort of mad that a Prime Minister who wasn't even a full ranking cabinet minister at the time of the 2019 election & is 20 points behind in the polls just gets to cancel the country's largest infrastructure project, which his party's manifesto committed to completing

Tory-run Thurrock Council secretly handed £655m to a local businessman.

He spent the money on a private jet, a yacht, a 232-acre mansion, a Bugatti, and loads of other stuff.

Then he wound up the company.

Thurrock Council is now bankrupt and cutting services to local people.

The UK mortgage time bomb numbers are bad enough as they are, but they get really sickening when you think of them as an effective pay cut.

An increase of £500 in monthly payments (coming to 1m households by 2026) is £6,000 per year, which equates to about a *£10,000 pay cut*

🧵 Everybody, please calm down. We’re talking about a former President being indicted here. There are many dangers about this that need to be considered. I’ve listed a few here - Please read and share. 1/7

According to the media, the 15 year old white boy, was definitely groomed by Phillip Schofield..

The same media has told you the Muslim Shamima Begum, wasn’t groomed, at 15 knew exactly what she was doing…

Make it make sense

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Dear 🇬🇧,

225,000 people have died in this country from COVID-19 and millions continue to suffer from its long term effects. We lost family, friends, patients, co-workers, and it caused disruption to our lives and livelihoods on a scale never before seen in our lifetimes.

If we don't learn the lessons from this pandemic, from the reasons why we were so terribly ill-prepared in the first place, to failures of politicians to recognise the nature of the threat, to mitigation efforts to contain the disease, to best practices for management of the disease, to government communications with the public — to hundreds of other lessons yet to be learned — then we will be doomed to repeat these mistakes in the very near term.

In an interconnected world of 8 billion people, in a country that is a transportation hub to the world, it's laughable to think that COVID-19 will be the last pandemic we'll see for 100 years. The next one is likely around the corner and we must be better prepared.

So I can't stress this enough: We must demand nothing but full and complete transparency with this #CovidInquiry.

If Boris Johnson ran government communications via WhatsApp then the Covid Inquiry must receive all *unredacted* communications and the Cabinet Office must comply and release all of this information immediately.

If they do not urgently release this information and comply with the order, then we must march in the streets to support the families of @CovidJusticeUK.

225,000 people are dead. We cannot allow the most corrupt government in our lifetimes to deny justice to them, to us, and to future generations. Release all information now.

Millions of people needing food banks. People having to choose between eating, heating their home or paying rent. Highest rates of depression, anxiety and addiction we have ever seen, but we are to support someone in a gold carriage wearing a golden cape. shambles! #Coronation

You're aged 22, you've got children and decide to learn to drive make life easier - only for a year after proving in a driving exam that you are a safe driver, you can't drive your family anywhere because the government hate you for being young.

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

"Covid testing is being scaled back even further in England from April.

It is part of the "living with Covid" approach that relies on vaccines to keep people safe."

If you're going to pursue a vaccine-only approach you need to offer people the vaccines.

This Panorama is explosive…

We are now the poorest country in N.Europe

The av Brit is 60% poorer than av American

We’re suffering a national pay cut that is years in the making

Exacerbated by Brexit

…& this lying Govt is blaming Putin and Covid.

Notable that the Conservatives only use the word “millionaire” as an insult in the case of footballers or people in the creative industries. Otherwise they are forever keen to cast themselves as the party of aspiration and wealth-creation.

Erm lads, if you're trying to show just how much you're not like Germany in the 1930s, this ain't it.

A jaw-dropper from Brexiter Steve Baker on @BBCRadio4’s PM just now: “What an extraordinary opportunity for Northern Ireland: dual access to both markets”.

Er, that “extraordinary opportunity” was available to the entire UK before Brexit

[Robert Foster @EntirelyRobert]

Forbes is clearly not very good at politics and should be nowhere near Government again. Launching a campaign for FM by stating you think LGBT people are worth less than you is abhorrent.
