@CutMyTaxUK Rachel will be doing well if she’s still chancellor next month let alone October.

@bphillipsonMP Get over yourself Bridget. And then show us your so-called investment in state schools. Idiot.

@Artemisfornow When the Child Trust Fund was introduced by Blair/Brown, the unique reference number turned out to be the child’s NI number. Previously handed out at age 16 but then overnight it was assigned via the CTF.

@Miss_Snuffy During lockdown I recall Romesh Ranganathan making a joke about parents who were helping their kids get ahead while the rest of us just got by. Real life imitates comedy. 😞

@Artemisfornow You’re right to be annoyed. Lots of us are v annoyed. I worry that the outcome will be even more polarised, divisive ideology. The middle ground and swing voters don’t know where to turn. 🤷‍♂️

@jk_rowling If your book sales ever take a dive you should definitely take up comedy. 👏

@Suffragent_ And yet she has Boris’ haircut. 🤷‍♂️

@beverleyturner @Togetherdec @alanvibe So great to see you back in the UK albeit briefly. Enjoy catching up with your family.

[James Cole @JamesPeterCole]

Whoops. 😬

I welcome Leeds City Council's decision to expand their selective landlord licencing policy to include the Armley area.

While many private landlords operate in the right way, we know that lots of private tenants in Armley face problems with poorly maintained housing. (1/3)

@SBarrettBar Your child is right.

@GadSaad Presumably they’ve now been banned from LinkedIn?

[James Cole @JamesPeterCole]

@BillAckman We’re all wondering the same thing.

@theipaper What an absolute moron. The money is subject to corporation tax first. When drawn out of the company it is subject to income tax. The patients are running the asylum.

[James Cole @JamesPeterCole]

Grim, brutal, but absolutely brilliant. 👏

@TRobinsonNewEra I want to agree with you but Jesus was crucified at the behest of a baying crowd who swapped him for Barabbas, a known criminal.

@triggerpod Manifesto pledges are legally binding otherwise the party forfeits the right to continue.

[James Cole @JamesPeterCole]

@LabourfutureUK What are you on about? Who comes up with this nonsense?

[James Cole @JamesPeterCole]

@Keir_Starmer You resigning?

[James Cole @JamesPeterCole]

@Keir_Starmer Everyone knows how annoying it is when you get a job you’re entirely unqualified for but try to style it out while everyone cringes and hopes you’ll resign.

@julianHjessop Labour’s entire government operation is being run by economically illiterate children.
