It is beyond imagining that the West is now compounding the humiliation and betrayal of the Afghan surge and reckless withdrawal by allowing millions of Afghans to starve. Where on earth is our sense of humanity, purpose, or responsibility?
It’s unbelievable that an international coalition which could find 130BN dollars a year for Afghanistan when fighting there, cannot find 5 per cent of that amount to prevent millions of Afghans from starving. @SkyNews
The PMs wife @carrielbjohnson is heavily involved with the Tory party, both paid & unpaid roles; she was a special adviser & worked for CCGQ until she was sacked for fiddling her expenses. Make no mistake; she is in the PMs ear daily & numerous people can verify! #CarrieJohnson
Spokesperson for Carrie Johnson- “She is a private individual who plays no role in government”
Boris Johnson- “I believed implicitly that this was a work event”
This photo means at least one of the above statements isn’t true
Most people who lose their jobs get back into work fast. Rather than chase headlines by threatening to cut benefits after 4 weeks - when it takes 5+ weeks to get your first Universal Credit payment! - govt should focus on big issues like long-term unemployment & productivity.
Conservative MPs tonight voted to hand bankers a tax cut worth £1,000,000,000 each year.
This is while they're pushing ahead with their National Insurance tax hike on workers.
Don't believe their lies on "levelling up". They're busy punching down.
The Department of Health insists it paid £600m to an interior design company for PPE. The money is nowhere to be seen in the firm’s accounts. They won’t answer the Eye’s questions. So where’s the money gone? Full story in the brand new Private Eye, out today.
A reminder of the fastest growing economies in the G7:
France 3%
Italy 2.6%
Germany 1.7%
Canada 1.3%
UK 1.1%
The high tax, low growth @Conservatives are letting the British public down.

Michael Gove is attacking London elites.
Privately schooled Oxford graduate Michael Gove, who worked for the BBC and Times and chaired a think tank, is a Conservative Cabinet Minister living in a London grace-and-favour palatial home down the road from Buckingham Palace.
It's telling and depressing that ministers sent out to claim that Johnson wasn't lying have been briefed to trot out another lie.
UK is NOT the fastest growing economy in Europe
It's 6th.
They know this.
Reference to Jimmy Savile by Boris Johnson was a disgrace to Parliament & office of Prime Minister
ITS NOT TRUE
I was there
Keir Starmer had nothing to do with the decisions taken
On the contrary, He supported me in bringing 100s of child sex abusers to justice

The day last month that Johnson announced a Covid Plan B would be activated in Englan, 161 deaths and 51,342 cases were reported.
Today 439 deaths and 94,326 deaths were recorded as Plan B is withdrawn.
This is Sara Woodward outside Tory HQ tonight with a message for the @Conservatives. We’ll be here all day tomorrow with more from bereaved families who stuck by the rules
I wonder what Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance think about measures the government have relaxed/removed recently.
Is the government still following the science?
The totally normal one of the Prime Minister being investigated by the police. The fact he thinks he can stay in post is a phenomenon of privilege and arrogance.
