"We have tried to get answers about who is getting VIP treatment but the Conservatives are refusing to tell us. Now we know the health secretary acted unlawfully, these are no longer questions he can ignore”. https://t.co/d5ADBN7Vml

119,000 deaths & Johnson hasn't lost 'a single vote'. It's the 'Fifth Avenue Factor'. Unlike Trump, though, he actively extends this lethal impunity to his allies, which arguably makes him even more dangerous.
There's a cheery thought for a Friday night.

@howzat1967 @USAinUK Not studied any history, I see ...

This is a constitutional outrage

MPs are there to scrutinise government decisions & hold them to account. Parliament must not allow Government to eviscerate its role

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@AndrewRTDavies Trump and Brexit send the same message: democracy is fragile and easily turned against itself by the unscrupulous.

@CCHQPress @PoliticsGeek As in ‘We ended the war by surrendering’. Well done.

Tomorrow, Parliament will sit to consider the European Union (Future Relationship) Bill, which would implement the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

What’s in the agreement? And how will the bill affect UK law? Our briefing summarises https://t.co/7Jp3NiSGp0

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@GPSBaby Agreed. Don’t you think ‘The New Year’s Revolution’ has a nice historical ring to it?

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@mcpete @alan_firth_ @Catheri76130871 Exactly 😂😂😂

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@alan_firth_ Yeah, but she’s never fabricated news stories like our @BorisJohnson

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@johnandpol @Aiannucci We’re looking for benefits! Allowing free rein to our own pseudo-democratic government doesn’t count.

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@grantshapps No need, since Brexit has eliminated the need for most overseas business travel.

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@jonworth @JamesSilveste16 Helluva state, I imagine

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@johnredwood OK, you win. You truly are the most stupid of all MPs. Congratulations.

@DrAndrewV2 If only one could make an engine green by revving it 😉😁

@grieve51166 @bbclaurak You’re probably thinking of the law in relation to EU powers, introduced by the Cameron government some years after Major was PM.

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@Temerai99243452 @gary_d_carter @grieve51166 @bbclaurak Well that worked out well. I hope other readers of this thread understood it rather better.

[Neil Sutherland @NeilASutherland]

@Temerai99243452 @gary_d_carter @grieve51166 @bbclaurak It’s a fine definition of sovereignty, which you persistently misinterpret - ignoring the extensive evidence presented in this thread that the rest of the world acknowledges and accepts its limits.

@Temerai99243452 @gary_d_carter @grieve51166 @bbclaurak Sorry, I didn’t realise that I was dealing with a simpleton. My apologies.
