@sw_holocron Keep telling yourself this. A decent romp? Yes. A movie with depth in/adds to the universe? Absolutely not, really bad.

@LOS_Fisher How this works in a correctly run govt:
PM (& CO): we want an uplift of 18bn.
Chx (Treasury): no, we'd rather just 12bn.
PM: you misunderstand, its wasn't a request. Find and allocate 18bn or we look for a new Chx and Treasury Perm Sec who will. Clear?

Makerfield is identified as a strong alternative to Oswestry as the possible site of the Battle of Masserfelth (AD 641/642) in which the King of Northumbria, Oswald (regarded as ‘Bretwalda’ or ‘ruler of Britain’) was killed fighting the forces of Penda, the pagan king of Mercia.

@AliFortescue just said that close allies of PM say he's at his best with back against the wall. Unfortunately, his back is ndeed against the wall but it's because he is facing a firing squad.

@danbloom1 Erm, given that there have been attacks which some have said could be the work of proxies then that certainly does fall under her brief.

@Keir_Starmer What about acting to lower energy and food prices? What about taking ownership of the fact that you are the biggest problem? No vision, no plan, no passion. A mealy-mouthed bag of wind. Just go.

@DrStephenDixon @JohnNicholRAF Its an excellent account of the blitz.

@hzeffman Not so much rearranging the deckchairs, as adding more, old and clapped out, deckchairs. Shows how completely out of touch he is and how he is still in absoute denial over the seriousness which Labour (not just the government) finds itself in.

@KevinASchofield Because his special advisors have such a fine track record of success!

@MsiDouglas I've been wavering but that screams trying to get fired.

Not many beer gardens with better views!

[Craig Armstrong @DrCraigArm]

Steak & Kidney Pie for tea today (and some sausage rolls for tomorrow).

[Craig Armstrong @DrCraigArm]

@FOBRacing @WarwickRaces Best wishes to both

[Craig Armstrong @DrCraigArm]

@Keir_Starmer Don't believe you. After all, you promised to be different to other governments but its the same old corruption and jobs for the boys. Just resign now, the country needs radical change and reform, and you certainly can't deliver it.

[Craig Armstrong @DrCraigArm]

@kitty_donaldson No, its not. That doesn't make it okay. Especially from a govt that came to power vowing to not be the same old story of corruption, graft, and poor moral standards.

[Craig Armstrong @DrCraigArm]

@S_McCormick95 Needs to be done but my impression from his answer is that, despite his claim to open-mindedness, he won't do it.

[Craig Armstrong @DrCraigArm]

@BethRigby Definitely not what public thinks. Public thinks same old boys network. Sees complete/astounding disregard for UK national security, sees lack of any moral standards, sees incompetence, sees yet more corruption.

[Craig Armstrong @DrCraigArm]

@jordancronin_ You think

[Craig Armstrong @DrCraigArm]

@CraigHope_DM Thats all of them on today's performance.
