@Uptotherewithit @johnredwood If you steal billions £s of investors' money, don't expect them to ever invest in anything in this country again.

@TheIntrinsicP @Lauren_Southern The accusation - by multiple women, not just Lauren - is that Tate choked them out and raped them.

[Adrian Hilton @Adrian_Hilton]

Can you imagine the outrage, magnified across all media, if, weeks after Jo Cox had been murdered, Nigel Farage were sharing and boosting posts calling for the labour leader to be shot? In the wake of Ann Widdecombe's murder, this isn't only deeply irresponsible, but wicked.

@ReemAmirIbrahim We have just had a Reform politician beaten to death with a hammer in her own home.

You can criticise Farage without calling for his murder.

@DubzyOnceAgain Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time.

[Voice of Reason @brexitblog_info]

@AllisonPearson Exec salary is a tiny percentage of water company expenditure. If it got heavily cut, it would make bugger all difference to your bill.

- You: "My stocks went up 10%."

- Government: "Congratulations! That's taxable."

- You: "But inflation was 8%. I only really gained 2%."

- Government: "We tax the full 10%."

- You: "You tax the inflation you created?"

- Government: "Capital gains are capital gains."

- You: "So you profit from debasing my money twice?"

- Government: "You're not an economist."

As much as I dislike Burnham (can't believe no one is talking about the Staffordshire hospital scandal), praise where praise is due. Good things so far:
- dropping mandatory ID card plans.
- cutting vat on electricity bills.
- moving Milliband out of desnz and sacking Lammy.
