Truss cabinet descending into open warfare - Badenoch attacking Braverman attacking Gove who is criticising Truss, who is blaming Kwarteng. But peoples lives are being wrecked by this incompetence & chaos. Stench of decay is overwhelming. People deserve better #GeneralElectionNow

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Boris Johnson is being forced to resign for being unfit for office as a reckless, untrustworthy, lying, law-breaking rogue Prime Minister with no regard for rule of law or our democratic systems. He must not be allowed to stay on for 3 months after resigning and must go now

[Howard Porter @HowardPGreens]

@ENOUGH_ND We need a complete system reset.

[Howard Porter @HowardPGreens]

To lose one cabinet minister is careless, to lose two in one day is downright reckless... But that's Boris Johnson for you.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Well that makes two Tory cabinet ministers with a backbone - even if it took far, far too long

Please, @borisjohnson - spare us the protracted public psychodrama and go now

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

*Javid* GONE
*Sunak* GONE
When your most senior cabinet colleagues believe you don’t have integrity and aren’t running the country “properly, competently and seriously”, it’s time to stop #BorisMustGo

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Drunk on power, @BorisJohnson sullied, despoiled and eroded the idea of public duty the moment he stepped through the door of No.10

He must go

But the length of time it took Ministers to act, means big questions about the future of @Conservatives

We need a General Election

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

You can't just "make Brexit work", @Keir_Starmer, when it’s clearly doing such damage

Pretending #Brexit can be positive is dishonest, plays into hands of Govt & undermines national interest

Instead, admit this is about damage limitation - don’t falsely claim to “make it work”

[Howard Porter @HowardPGreens]

As our morally bankrupt government starts to turn up the heat against the European Convention on Human Rights, it is worth remembering that it is largely a British invention. Tories: how low will they go?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

What has the ECHR ever done for us? As Tories sharpen their knives to attack it, seems like a good time to share this again https://t.co/5UcwDLqJBZ

House of Lords is half our parliament, so it's wholly unacceptable that it's full of government cronies

Even so, I have never seen a list of appointees as biased and scandalous as this

Johnson is stuffing legislature with loyal mates

“Democracy isn’t automatic. It needs to be nurtured.” @BarackObama. We could use some of that nurturing right now here in the UK, with its squalid corrupt government. We are led by a PM accountable for 1000s of needless deaths & who rewards his odious cronies with a #peerage

[Howard Porter @HowardPGreens]

It's about time we abolished the House of Lords and replaced it with an elected assembly using proportional representation.

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

I cannot say how much I despise this list of crony peers. Utterly, utterly corrupt. We are a banana republic without even being a republic.

Why is BBC News not covering this story? #bbc

Congrats to @MarcusRashford

But what an incompetent shower

PM would save himself a lot of time, & others a lot of heartache, if he did what was right first time rather than waiting til last minute to do yet another U-turn. NHS surcharge, free school meals at Easter, now this

[Irene Wise @irenejuliawise]

#Colston doesn’t represent the #history of #Bristol, “he didn’t even live here ... spent most of his time in London, a member of an elite and he lavished his wealth on parts of the city.”
He represents “the power of money to buy absolution.” @DavidOlusoga

[Molly Scott Cato is on Bluesky @GreenPartyMolly]

It's been obvious for some time that this was inevitable

The question is how much public money was wasted along the way?

And how much of it went to mates of Dominic Cummings?

#CovidShambles

[Irene Wise @irenejuliawise]

Also please #BBC - Stop calling this farcical, private profit-making, useless app “the NHS app”. It is not. It was jobs for rich, incompetent cronies to collect our data & get richer. Meanwhile, more lives are lost but - hey! You can bet on horses (profits also to #DidoHarding).

[Irene Wise @irenejuliawise]

Britain gets glimpse of life after #Brexit. #COVID19 - 64,200 excess deaths in #UK, almost 8 times higher than Germany; 2 1/2 times level in France. Spain & Italy also better records. Also indicates UK will suffer among the largest falls in national income https://t.co/H8i5y8Gd2N

Cummings says he needed to test his eyesight

The rest of us can see clearly that what he did was wrong
