The problem with politics is us.

It was clear on QT that Winstanley was the best person to represent Makerfield. Remove the rosettes and it was clear.

But people vote for the rosette and we end up with terrible MPs.

You would have thought people would have learnt by now that sneering at people with different views to yourself is counterproductive. Reform probably won't win....but she has certainly helped them here.

Gosh, her misplaced arrogance is hilarious.

Tbh, I think Michael Winstanley was the star of last night’s #bbcqt.

Seemed like a nice, normal guy whilst also having the finesse needed for parliamentary debates.

Obviously a Conservative vote is a wasted vote in Makerfield but I hope to see him in the Commons in the future.

Chart of the Day 🫤

The Bank of England's latest Decision Maker Panel survey shows no sign that the UK labour market is recovering from the shock of Rachel Reeves' first Budget, with more job losses expected over the coming year.

[BBC Question Time @bbcquestiontime]

“You have got the right… to vote people out when they don’t do what they have said to do”

Conservative Michael Winstanley says we should be “judging politicians on their actions” not promises, and claims Andy Burnham is putting “party first”

@BarristerWife @Mazzer311 @CockertonMark @reformexposed I think reading the article might help.

Brexit was nothing to do with tax avoidance.

[Politax @Politax3]

@LobbyComm No.

[Politax @Politax3]

@BarristerWife @Mazzer311 @CockertonMark Just dishonest at this point.

@danielanadj77 Perhaps we value the supremacy of UK law over a queue?

[Politax @Politax3]

I made this point when the referendum started...The EU is at its most popular when it is not in the news. Rejoiners thinking they would easily win a referendum would be in for a surprise.

Conventional wisdom says that leaving the European Union has harmed the British economy.

Listen to almost any Brexit debate – over the airwaves or on the professional conference circuit – and it’s invariably taken for granted being outside the EU has done serious economic damage.

Now we're in June, and as the 23rd approaches – the ten-year anniversary of that hotly-contested, era-defining referendum – this message will be rammed home again and again.

But it simply isn’t true.

@AdrianWait55 @politixintheuk There is no evidence whatsoever that Rees-Mogg has avoided any UK tax.

@JoyAlle60003323 @ebaa739aa9834a3 @politicsusa46 There is no evidence whatsoever that Rees-Mogg has avoided any UK tax.

@campbelllorn @simonwatt85 @WasOnceLoved If anyone is "certainly conned" it's you.

Silly conspiracy theory.

@Elaineewald3 @VictoriaAtkins @wearesiam Just plain dishonesty at this point.

@madlife1000 @AlanJonesBong1 @DailyMail @afneil The fact that you think Farage has an "EU passport" makes me doubt you do much research.

[Politax @Politax3]

@pv1004 @Eggplant_Elon None of that in relation to Rees-Mogg is true.

[Politax @Politax3]

@Elaineewald3 @nulasuchet A lie.

[Politax @Politax3]

@suelily123 No, not really.
