In need of some plain truths…https://t.co/MLzZ3uLIEQ

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

What the shameful, integrity-free ⁦@DavidGHFrost⁩ is really saying is: “Please remember we are the ⁦@UKGovEngland⁩ - and if you expect us to keep our word and adhere to what we have signed-up to, we will launch a campaign of lies against you.” https://t.co/9p7WFxeSmC

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

By highlighting the threat of failure ⁦@BorisJohnson⁩ is breaking the habit of a lifetime by telling a truth. His licensing of North Sea oil exploration and possible expansion of UK coal mining, make the failure his own. He has failed to lead. https://t.co/9VzKFsYhLj

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

As @BorisJohnson fabricates conflict, this is what French PM @JeanCASTEX wrote to the @EU_Commission:“It's necessary to show European public opinion that agreements have to be respected and are non negotiable, and that it's more detrimental to leave the union than to stay in it."

Such a tragedy to see that the town in which I grew up - and which really was a progressive place - has become so endangered by this extremism. https://t.co/lHkiAQrXi5

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

We knew this five years ago - and were spat at for supposedly peddling what the Brextremists called “project fear”. Will these same Brextremists now begin the process of apologising for wrecking our country with their fantasy lies? https://t.co/GOiivQ1uaP

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

Failure at Cop26 could prompt “very difficult geopolitical events” including mass migration and global competition for food and water, ⁦@BorisJohnson⁩ has said…both of which his Brexit has already foisted on the UK. https://t.co/uPuGhXqQNE

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

…’the prime minister said the summit would be “the world’s moment of truth”’, though with truth being something in which the 20th century’s most dishonest resident of ⁦@10DowningStreet⁩ has no interest, the probability of failure is high. https://t.co/kccLKX7fCG

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

@DavidGHFrost As you are a liar just like your boss @BorisJohnson, there is very little point in reading what you “set out” as your “position”; your “position” is merely to renege on what you have agreed to. You are disgrace, who brings shame on our country. You should be fired.

I just added my name to this emergency appeal for climate action by Greta, Vanessa, Mitzi, and Dominika. Sign now and share, and they'll deliver our voices directly to governments at the @COP26 #climate summit. https://t.co/rkuA2fBH9l

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

@DavidGHFrost @trussliz @AmbColonna Your childish, imbecilic, immature and shameful determination to stoke conflict as a means of trying to hide your dishonesty as you fail to adhere to what your @BorisJohnson signed up to, is already being exposed for the sham ‘diplomacy’ it is. You are a disgrace. Vive la France!

Brexit worse for the UK economy than Covid pandemic, OBR says https://t.co/qryEDnfpdg

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

@DavidGHFrost No, @DavidGHFrost, what is disappointing is that the sleazy govt of which you are part, doesn’t care to abide by a treaty your leader signed. No civilised person is deceived by your dishonesty. You’re desperate for a trade war as a means of concealing the disaster of your Brexit.

This works out at £1,000/year less than Labour’s existing plans for at least £10 an hour for people working full-time.

Much of it will be swallowed up by Tory tax rises, UC cut & energy bill failures.

Only Labour is serious about improving work and pay.

What the most dishonest PM in modern UK history omits to mention is that his failure to prepare COP26 as the French govt did in order to achieve the Paris accord, is why it is “touch & go”. Conference failure will be the failure o⁦f @BorisJohnson⁩ https://t.co/Ryz1GmXT1A

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

So crass are the efforts by ⁦@DavidGHFrost⁩ to feign upset as he tries to make out the ⁦@EU_Commission⁩ is reneging on an agreement, that his record as the UK’s worst-ever ‘diplomat’ will surely never be surpassed. He shames our country. https://t.co/82TF2BilH1

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

The moaning of ⁦@BillCashMP⁩ is like watching a crocodile shedding tears; while visceral in his loathing of the EU, he is snivelling because the EU is not rushing to accommodate the UK. It really is time EU-hating Brexiters discovered some integrity. https://t.co/3oZjAVYMUI

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

We the peoples of the UK absolutely demand full answers to all the questions raised in this film. @BorisJohnson @pritipatel @michaelgove and their henchmen and henchwomen have the stench of grand corruption about them - and must be held to account.

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

Priti Patel and other senior Conservatives helped some of their friends get very, very wealthy off the pandemic. It's a scandal that demands answers. (with @GoodLawProject )

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

This requirement will be a challenge, the demand of Brexiters being that there is no “bias”. How about a neutral Pol Ed. A neutral Pol Ed would be obliged to tell the truth - the unbiased truth of course being that Brexit is a catastrophe based on lies. https://t.co/E1IAoEEu3E

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

@AlecBaldwin Such a tragedy.

[Mark Huband @MarkHubandNES]

‘Global Britain’ - the country whose population can barely be civilised to itself, which pretends it can “go global” and teach the waiting world a thing or two about ‘greatness’. God help us; we can’t even treat each other in a civilised way. https://t.co/GlH4bh17CA
