@Helen_Whately It was your own party that brought our military to its knees Helen, 14 yrs of tory cuts, Johnson in particular being the main protagonist. No ifs, no buts.
@KemiBadenoch It looks like Andy Burnham wrote this, however nice to see we have moved on from Welfare bashing, finally a policy which will make us read it twice. An important issue which will win you votes.
Average cost of U.S. diesel is £1.24 per litre. That’s so unacceptable to Americans that Trump has lifted Russian Oil embargo’s to drive down prices in the USA.
In the UK we’re £2 a litre & we’ve been offered a tool on google to compare prices that are all too high.
In 2015 David Cameron privatised the National Fostering Agency, it's now being paid £160m a year straight to a New Jersey tax haven to manage the fostering of just 2,616 children
A tax free profit of £61,000 per child, and they don't even provide any care, that's the fosters job
@KemiBadenoch You have lost too many tory voters Kemi, only a pact with the nutters can get you there, & you’ve already ruled that out. Labour are doing their very best to help you out though .
Really! Why the fuck didn't you build prisons before, why did you fuck up the criminal system and the probation service? 14 fucking years of your vandalism. You disgust me!
@itvnews I dont have any beef with Jeffrey Archer but Camilla waxing lyrical, (im not calling her the Queen) i actually thought he was ok ish, but he got 4 yrs for telling porkies in court.
I don't fucking care what the Constitutional law experts say.
There's a massive flaw in the Constitution when someone this fucking crazy gets to act this fucking crazy for this fucking long.
25th amendment, my ass,
We should never be held hostage like this.
Once we get this corrupt motherfucker out of office, a system needs to be set in place so this kind of bullshit can NEVER EVER happen again.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "How long do you think its going to take for people to forget you ran the country for 14 years?"
Helen Whateley, "Kemi has published an essay called The Right Way, really thinking about what's gone wrong with the country"
14 years of Tory austerity 🤷♀️
My view: Fourteen years of Conservative government hollowed out the public realm: councils stripped back, NHS waiting lists soared, social care was left in crisis, schools and courts were squeezed, and living standards stagnated for many people.
Then Brexit added trade barriers, labour shortages, higher costs and less investment to an economy already weakened by austerity.
Kemi Badenoch can publish as many essays as she likes, but the party cannot meaningfully diagnose Britain’s decline without acknowledging its central role in causing it.
I've lived long enough to know the Tory party well. It's a party that is obsessed with cutting tax, cutting public services, reducing welfare to the bare minimum & ensuring that the wealthy thrive whilst the poor get poorer.
That never changes. It's a core principle for them.
Thatcherism devastated the UK's industrial base, put three million people on the dole and plunged entire communities into the kind of poverty they still haven't recovered from four decades later. Kemi Badenoch is offering us a repeat performance.
Kemi Badenoch: Welfare is a "safety net, not a lifestyle."
Also Kemi Badenoch: Claims £36,000+ a year in taxpayer accommodation expenses, including £2,700/month rent.
Funny how "taxpayer value" only matters when it applies to vulnerable families, not her country farmhouse.
