Cutting through the spin. #PoliticsLive #politicslive

New study finds British stiff upper lip "not a thing anymore".

•Classic British sense of humour now 52% "😂😂😂😂" & "cry about it"

•Cup of tea and calm down found "ineffective" in 87% of situations

•Blitz spirit replaced with hatred of cyclists

[Colin Browning @ColinBrowning14]

Absolutely disgusting service at Schiphol airport. 55 minutes we have been stood in the immigration queue. This isn’t the Brexit I voted for.

[PoliticsLive @LivePoIitics]

Not all of them are far right. Most of them ARE normal people. Doesn't excuse their behaviour. Watch the normal people weep in court as they are charged with looting Lush & Greggs.

But Clarkson knows this, pandering to his mostly male, working class, patriotic audience.

Politics for Beginners

•#GeneralElection

The public is asked to decide who will form the next government through an anonymous ballot

Political parties promise life changing policies whilst maintaining the status quo of rich/poor, ignoring Care, & keeping all wealth in London

[PoliticsLive @LivePoIitics]

As #GeneralElection2024 trends & PM Sunak launches another attack on disabled people, we ask

What is he doing?

appealing to Tory base voters who hate benefits claimants?

"salting the earth" for Labours term in power?

passing legislation to help rich Tory employers/donors

[PoliticsLive @LivePoIitics]

Retraction

After fruitful discussions with his legal team, we are pleased to retract our statement that "Douglas Ross only got into politics because he gets to be on the telly"

[PoliticsLive @LivePoIitics]

Politics for Beginners

•Shameful

A word trotted out by politicians so often it has lost all meaning to the point of parody.

Most often used to describe:

•Policies
•Scandals
•Tory Expense Claims

#PoliticsLive

[PoliticsLive @LivePoIitics]

Politics For Beginners

•Apologies

To win power, a political party must appear strong & stable

That's why deviating from rhetoric designed to win votes - by apologising or answering a question directly - is seen as political suicide

No one ever comments on how odd this is

#PoliticsLive Nicola Sturgeon #gammon

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Nicola Sturgeon is the Richard Nixon of Scottish politics. Wins by a landslide then humbled and discredited forever by a career-destroying cover up. Two matters need underlining:
1. When she haughtily told the Channel 4 reporter that of course she would submit her WhatsApp messages to the inquiry she was ALREADY deleting them. Doesn’t get worse than that.
2. She says she was following government guidelines by deleting — her phone could fall into wrong hands etc. We’ve never seen these guidelines or discovered who told her to follow these protocols. But it’s a nonsense anyway since it would surely mean the emails and other messages on her phone should have been deleted too for that sort of security risk. They weren’t.
Her reputation is now in tatters. She knows that. That’s why she cried.

@Douglas4Moray Hi Douglas

We just got our new self-aware self test kits. We thought of you instantly and would be happy to send you one. Don't worry, they came with easy to follow instructions printed in BIIIIIG letters

Let us know if you need one. But then again, how would you know?

Thanks

[PoliticsLive @LivePoIitics]

Politics for Beginners

•The Opposition

A group of politicians who need something to do whilst not in power.

Usually not self aware, odious & pious when it comes to political machinations

Often leave politics with the feeling they did not achieve much, but at least got paid

[Douglas Ross @Douglas4Moray]

Nicola Sturgeon's reputation now lies in tatters.

Her actions beg a very simple question: what did she want to hide by deleting these messages?

Shamefully and outrageously for families of those who died during the pandemic, we may never know.

Politics for Beginners

•A Politician

The physical embodiment of mediocrity.

Often seeks power without ever attaining it, settling for using their peer's contacts to make as much money as possible in their tenure as recompense.

#AutumnStatement #JeremyHunt #POLITICS2023

[PoliticsLive @LivePoIitics]

Politics for Beginners

•Rhetoric

Messages conveyed to the public by political parties to express their policies, omit the truth about their motives & explain who they want to punch down on next

Ie "The Conservatives will stop the boats, punish the poor & dismantle the NHS"

[PoliticsLive @LivePoIitics]

After wasting 100BN of British taxpayers money, we take a look at what could've been bought instead.

1. Giving the entire population of the UK £1 million pounds each =£67BN

Remember though, there is no magic money tree.
