Proud to be British and European even if sometimes ashamed of our behaviour.

@fharris2011 @Szlater2 @Zaphod2042 You mean like cuts to the WFA that the Tories vigorously opposed?

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@fharris2011 @Szlater2 @Zaphod2042 Rather than suggest increased defence spending can be funded by vague cuts to welfare spending we need specific proposals from Robertson, Badenoch et all. These people are just as unwilling to make unpopular decisions as are many on the left

Two of these panellists lost to the Greens after young voters did exactly the opposite of what this panel claims

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

This is difficult to watch, it's embarrassing, it's enraging, it's shameful.

Emma Reynolds the Secretary of State for the Environment and David Hill the head of water at Defra appeared before MPs on Tuesday where they repeated the same old lie, that water company shareholders invest their money in the companies and we, the bill payers, pay them back over 10, 15, 20, 30 years.

Even Ofwat have owned up, that's a lie the £104 billion "private sector investment" is coming directly out of your pockets, your bank account. For God sake just tell the truth.

Barry Gardiner, you're a star. 👏👏👏

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Brits don’t side with bullies. Yet, Nigel Farage can’t help cheering them on.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

This is unhinged. A 75 year old alliance in NATO is being trashed to serve one man's ego.

Trump is not a reliable ally, he's a reckless bully. Starmer needs a plan B to stand up for Britain and our allies.

[Charlie Maynard MP 🔶 @cammaynard]

This is a fantastic win for the Lib Dems, pointing the country back in the direction of economic sanity.

A number of Labour MPs have seen sense on this issue and gave us their support, and the Tories...

Let’s fix the economic disaster that Brexit has caused!

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Whether it’s dealing with Trump or fixing our relationship with Europe, the PM needs to start listening to Parliament and the public.

If he doesn't he may not be in the job for much longer.

@albie2009 @JonDoyl00133017 @Alex_Sampson81 @Will___lloyd @georgeeaton He steadied the Tory ship allowing Cameron to take over. There's no equivalent today so the Tories continue the downward spiral.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Two things can be true at once. Rayner was foolish in her conduct and right to resign. It’s also true she was always despised by much of the right wing press because she was a working class powerful woman. She was therefore threatening to them, because she authentically spoke for the same people they (erroneously) claim to speak for and could not be dismissed as a liberal elite- their favoured tactic with anyone they don’t like. She’s therefore been the subject to endless snobbery and classism and extra scrutiny from day 1- another reason she was foolish not to be meticulous.

@wheatfrom @DanNeidle @doingalrighty The BBC referred to the owner as being a solicitor, and various other news outlets have used the term lawyer. However it now seems clear that no qualified solicitor or lawyer was involved in the transaction.

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@philthemod67 @PippaCrerar We don't really know much about the level of the child's disability but I imagine Raymer expects to live far beyond its 18th birthday, when its legal status will change.

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@DanNeidle @m_mouse21 @rubbishusername @MRRS71 This rather implies that trusts are an unsuitable vehicle for divorcing parents who are not multimillionaires, as it makes starting a new family with a new partner fraught with difficulties. Shouldn't the solicitor creating the trust warn the client of this?

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@DanNeidle @doingalrighty They appear to be solicitors. Surely they should have advised her to take advice of the tax implications of her purchase, as it's the solicitors who normally calculate and pay the SD on behalf of a client buying a property.

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@m_mouse21 @rubbishusername @MRRS71 @DanNeidle It's not that simple. If the trust were irrevocable and she severed all connections to it she might have avoided the surcharge on the Hove property. Her problem is she still claimed it as her primary residence.

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@Ferdinand641 @donmcgowan The BBC is there to inform and educate, not just entertain.

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@philthemod67 @PippaCrerar Like most Tory and Lab MPs she probably doesn't expect to live in the constituency when she ceases to be an MP. Most Tory and Lab MPs have few or no links with their constituencies before they become MPs.

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@FelineUnit @TempletonPeckJr @PippaCrerar Had the constituency property not been in a trust she might have got away with still claiming it as a primary residence, while claiming the Hove property as the only property she owned, for instance if her ex-husband owned the constituency property.

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@Brexitbuddy1 @PippaCrerar For the same reason Thatcher as PM bought a house in Dulwich, on the other side of London from her constituency in Finchley, and why Robert Jenrick has a house in Herefordshire.

[Graham Evans #FBPE🔶#IamEuropean#sharedEurope @GrahamEvans2]

@Life0fGrimes @TempletonPeckJr @PippaCrerar She lives in London weekdays, so would usually travel from London, not Hove. That's normal for most MPs.
