Four things wrong in one tweet - a new record

1. I'm not your chum
2. I wasn't running the Government
3. That isn't what Theresa was trying to do
4. Of course people care about competence, but they also care about whether they agree with what the government is doing

The last two years of unfolding #ToryIncompetence in two charts #HAPPYNEWYEAR2022

[Housing Association Histories @HAHistories]

Sorry to hear that. We still need voices that champion #SocialHousing in 2022 and beyond. #HappyNewYear2022 and for your forthcoming 70th birthday.

Some may have noticed I’m taking a break from Twitter. Time to consider what next as I celebrate my 70th birthday in 2022. I return briefly to wish you a peaceful and healthy New Year. One in which we all remember why we are here. A decent home is a basic human right not an asset

The #ToryCovidDisaster not only saw the UK record one of the worst death rates in Europe and among top industrial nations, but also chalked-up a dismal economic performance (according to OECD, IMF, World Bank etc.) despite #BorisTheLiar's boosterish claims to the contrary.

As social renters face massive rent rise to add to the squeeze on their generally low incomes from NI, fuel costs etc housing association CEOs earn an average £181k pa, with some earning as much as £400k. https://t.co/YhfBwX82ub

Nearly 600k private rented homes in England (1 in 8) have been classed as a serious threat to health and safety, according to the National Audit Office, while nearly a quarter are 'non-decent', costing the NHS £340m pa. #ukhousing https://t.co/weD8sHDrzY

The #BorisJohnson sponsored Sewell #RaceReport concluded (erroneously) that #institutionalracism does not exist. Johnson (no stranger to racist a slur himself) now faces #institutionalracism in his favourite game but can't bring himself to admit it. https://t.co/76E9NF5M3H
