Twitter is where I get to do politics without upsetting leave voting friends and family.

@a_libutti Calling people scum because you don’t agree with them says more about you than them.

@PMArslanagic I gave birth over 25 years ago and had epidurals both times. I was reading a magazine until it was time to push. And found my NCT classes totally fine when I said I intended to have pain relief. Lucky I guess.

@Sacha_Lord @realDonaldTrump You forgot the great James.

@PKRising1 @KirstieMAllsopp With PE, parents are buying advantages for their child. If everyone used state, standards would rise-as in countries where everyone-however well off they are-uses state. To me, the real scandal of tax on education is the 9-15% graduates pay on top of their income tax and NI.

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@PKRising1 @KirstieMAllsopp There is an argument to be had that private education makes state education worse. If you can buy your child a good education, why ask for better standards? My expat friends from Scandinavia are bewildered about British education. Kids back home just go to the local school.

@CelesteWin33969 @PolitlcsUK If kids are leaving school unable to read or add up, they would’ve started school and had the vast majority of their education during a Tory administration.

@GraemeFrew5 @FrogstarWorld @jk_rowling Dying in old age is nothing like dying at 30. Dying in old age is what we’d all like to do having had the chance to live our life. Dying at 30 not so much.

@IsabelOakeshott @reformparty_uk @UKLabour @Nigel_Farage This was a marginal seat-it was Conservative when I lived there until 2017.

@murdo_fraser @spectator @michaelgove I don’t think the Easter story is really the best example to talk about truth.

Ad we put in the Village Voice mid March 1975

@sam_bidwell So why on earth did we vote for Brexit?

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@FraserNelson I agree-while so much real stuff going on, why waste energy in opening his big mouth to spout nonsense without thinking first.

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@MartinSLewis @CommonsTreasury My son has just lost out using a Help to Buy ISA as his purchase is 270k. I feel guilty as I encouraged him to open one when he was 20. Ridiculous to keep an arbitrary cap when prices have risen a lot in the last 6 years.

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@Bushra1Shaikh Absolutely not. Unless you want burning books to be a crime-religious ones are no different.

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@rshereme I’m so, so sorry for his family. His poor parents.

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@BarbaraRich_law I could easily write something just as emotive along the lines of being desperate for a peaceful death yet being denied by those who think they know better than me.

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@Parmenides71 @DanNeidle Possibly to deter people buying up large tracts of land to ‘farm’ as an IHT dodge?

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@FelicityHannah And it’s not really taxed twice is it-it mostly comes from windfall gains on houses which aren’t taxed as primary residences.

[Susan Bax @Froddycat]

@RebeccaCNReid A bit flattering to have MM!
