Amazing opportunity for someone to start the work of repairing the damage Boris Johnson's Brexit deal did. Will inevitably be controversial, but there is strong public support for a closer relationship https://t.co/u4vs0q5GTg
@STN_Airport Please sort your passport control out. This is the second time I've come here and we've had a huge wait. The family line we were ushered in to just merged with the normal line, women and babies left in the lurch. Sort it out. It's embarrassing.
@Brian71666@DigitaISoldat@frontlinekit Righhhhtttt, https://t.co/C6SFNFDpFc you have tin foil lining the MAGA hat so the Democrats can't read your thoughts. I bet you were an anti-vaxer to?
@Brian71666@DigitaISoldat@frontlinekit So let's assess the multiple conspiracy theories here. Zelensky was an actor before the war so he MUST be acting now? Riiighht...neo Nazis? You know he's Jewish, right? Your MAGA hat cutting off oxygen to your brain, mate?
@RpsAgainstTrump This is so obviously misguided and wrong on so many levels but perhaps Mr Vance's biggest mistake here is presuming Russia respects treaties and adheres to the rule of law.
Just because you’re loud doesn’t mean you’re popular. The thugs on Britain’s streets last night tried to shriek and bully us into thinking they had a majority on their side, when the only thing they had on their side was bricks. The rest was noise. They’re a tiny fraction of a country that’s much bigger and more generous than they’ll ever be.
Ten years ago this month that David Cameron dispensed with my services as AG. I had told him that his plans to scrap the HRA and threaten to leave the ECHR if it proved incompatible with his British Bill of Rights were unworkable and would not help solve our security or immigration challenges one bit. So it proved. When published, his plans were quickly shown to be flawed and never implemented.
Ten years on, despite the repeated huffing and puffing, we still have both the HRA and the ECHR. This despite having had Suella Braverman as both Home Secretary and as a parody AG.
One might have hoped that the penny would have dropped that the policy serves no useful purpose, as any minor benefit will be entirely outweighed by the downsides. We must be thankful that Rishi Sunak seems to have realised this as did the last AG Victoria Prentis.
So it is depressing to see candidates for the Conservative leadership such as Tom Tugendhat return yet again to this theme. It has become a kind of ritual, without which no candidate feels they could be acceptable to the membership. And that I am afraid also shows how the Conservative Party continues to be mired in ideological fantasies that lead directly to its wipe out this year. For a Party whose members used to laugh at the inanity of Labour supporters singing the Red Flag at the end of their conferences, it is a sad reflection on where common sense has gone.
