@YouGov how much is that because the media love sound bite politicians who say controversial extreme things eg Nigel Farage (head of party with 4 MPs) has made
38 appearances on BBC’s Question Time in last 10 years
Ed Davey (head of party with 72 MPs) has been on once!

@catturd2 There have been nearly 5,000 mass shootings since 2014, with over 500 occurring each year since 2020 - only one thing in common with all of them and it is A GUN

[Carolyn Ann @DrCobbold]

@liz_churchill10 9 trans out of nearly 5,000 mass shootings since 2014, with over 500 occurring each year since 2020 - that is NOT a trend mathematically

@bananna_and @ramonagusta Private healthcare in US is way more expensive than NHS - and insurers can just exclude pre existing conditions at will! https://t.co/JrssTMlR7k

[Carolyn Ann @DrCobbold]

@ramonagusta No but the NHS is more cost effective than many healthcare systems. In 2022, U.S. healthcare spending reached $4.5 trillion, which averages to $13,493 per person. - more than double NHS!

@ChrisMartzWX Mad weather patterns such as snow in Florida is what climate scientists have been predicting for years with global warming - amazing how many deniers don’t seem to have read all the reports over the years!

@Sassafrass_84 Mad weather patterns such as snow in Florida is what climate scientists have been predicting with global warming.

[Carolyn Ann @DrCobbold]

@LangmanVince Ironically, this is correct!

[Carolyn Ann @DrCobbold]

@WallStreetMav This is exactly the sort of erratic weather climate scientists predicted with global warming

[Carolyn Ann @DrCobbold]

@APompliano This is exactly the sort of freaky weather that has been predicted by climate change scientists for years!

[Carolyn Ann @DrCobbold]

@WallStreetApes This is exactly the sort of extreme, erratic weather that climate change scientists have been warning would happen for decades. Wake up and do some detailed research!

The first space race was fought between the Cold War superpowers of US, Russia & China. It is now being fought between the planet’s super rich. This tells us far more about the state of our planet than #space #blueorigin #SpaceX #Starship #ElonMusk #JeffBezos

Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT

"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"

"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"

"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"

"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"

"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"

"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"

"That is your deterrent"

"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"

Very well said @timfarron 👏
