Well, we served up what we always serve up.

The board can delude themselves if they want that Clement is going to improve things but supporters can see the truth.

13 points out of 33 away from home. It’s not a blip, it’s not bad luck. It’s what Clement delivers.

@PolitlcsUK Incorrect.
364 MPs voted a bill through to protect children and vulnerable young people.

The top 17 posts on my Twitter feed are from Elon Musk 😂 interesting algorithm he’s created

NEWS
The Tories did NOT implement recommendations of Prof Jay Inquiry into child sexual abuse

Whitehall estimated compensation costs at £5-10 billion! Was this one of the reasons?

Tories eh?
Their hypocrisy knows no bounds https://t.co/l8cPhn8i1E

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

The Tories had a chance to back our plans to protect vulnerable children. They failed.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

The survivors of abuse by rape gangs deserve justice; all the perpetrators should be locked up.
The public will draw their own conclusions on politicians like Robert Jenrick who failed to act when in a position to do so but are suddenly calling for action

The French effort to restore Notre-Dame de Paris in 5 years was heroic.

More than 7 years after the 2018 fire, Mackintosh's Glasgow School of Art remains a shell. Restoration is still a distant prospect.

Today, I asked @AngusRobertson to make its restoration a national project.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

I see the Tory and the wider right-wing lies are now in overdrive.

This is the totally cynical abuse of such a serious issue.

If you want to know what MPs were actually voting on tonight - and what they weren't - here's what I explained earlier.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Wow! Must watch car crash interview with Nadine Dorries

Nadine Dorries, "I'm a victim of child sexual abuse as well, through the Church of England"

Victoria Derbyshire, "When did you realise you wanted another inquiry?"

ND, "When the call came for one"

VD, "From Elon Musk?"

ND, "I wasn't aware the problem was as widespread as it was... The inquiry was more further reaching than the grooming gangs.. A national inquiry on the grooming gangs and the people who knew"

VD, "So why didn't the Conservatives do that?"

ND, "That's a good question"

VD, "You were in government"

ND, "No, I was Culture Secretary, this didn't go anywhere near my desk"

VD, "You were sat around the cabinet table"

ND, "The entire time I was in cabinet this was never discussed"

VD, "Why?"

ND, "I.. I.."

VD, "Because there are a number of Conservatives who were in government who are calling for it now"

ND, "I can't answer the question.. A good person who can answer the question would be Suella Braverman and Priti Patel"

VD, "There's no record of you speaking in the parliamentary chamber about any of the local inquiries or ever calling for a national inquiry"

ND, "You don't have to stand up in the chamber and speak about something to support something.. I attended meetings in committee rooms"

VD, "Tomorrow the Conservatives are calling for another inquiry.. That's despite the Conservatives setting up that 7 year £200 million independent inquiry on child sexual abuse.. And then the Conservative government didn't implement any of the 20 recommendations.. Isn't calling for another one the very definition of political opportunism?"

ND, "Frequently inquiries take place and none of the recommendations are implemented"

VD, "The same people who didn't implement those recommendations calling for another inquiry, isn't that the definition of political opportunism?"

ND, "Its a definition of what we need to do to fix how government deals with inquiries"

VD, "You had 14 years to do that"

ND, "Dealing with recommendations made from people outside of Westminster, the people who put them in place are civil servants"

VD, "So it's the civil servants fault?"

ND, "No, what I'm saying your dealing with something outside of the normal processes so maybe it can't be delivered by government"

VD, "Well the Conservatives didn't deliver any of the 20 recommendations"

Narrator: Nadine Dorries blames the process for why the Conservatives didn't deliver, while Labour use the process to start delivering, make it make sense

UK working families at greater risk of poverty than 20 yrs ago

Austerity takes toll

Need rise in real wage/benefits; free school meals, childcare; lower transport costs, redistribute income/wealth.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined

This is absolutely bang on from @KieranMaguire

“Football clubs are now tourist attractions”

“Clubs are slowly trying to squeeze people out, reduce the number of ST holders, take away concessions for kids, make it more difficult if you’re a senior fan”

Luxembourg can afford a pension more than 5x the UK, even Spain is nearly 3x.

The problem is greed.

Belgium £2698
Liechtenstein £2148
Switzerland £2148
Iceland £1894
Denmark £1651
France £1564

This is the problem, not migrants, not refugees, not “wokeness”.

This.

During the pandemic, friends of Tory MPs and donors to the party created "businesses". They had assets of £0 and had been in existence for a matter of weeks before being given millions of taxpayer £ in scam contracts for PPE that they never provided. Nobody was ever prosecuted

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Left: Nigel Farage asks why there was no full public inquiry into the grooming scandal

Right: Alan Johnson, "We've had a public inquiry into grooming, it took 7 years, it cost £200 million"

In 2015 the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) was launched. It looked into how institutions, including police forces, councils, and schools, handled child abuse cases. It addressed grooming and child sexual exploitation as part of its investigations

The final report was published in October 2022 and can be accessed at this link:

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

🚨🇬🇧 Let’s talk about Tommy Robinson, the British ‘activist’ Elon Musk recently called a “political prisoner.”

The truth? Robinson is NOT a hero.

He’s a convicted CRIMINAL, a purveyor of HATE, and a DANGEROUS figure fueling Islamophobia in the UK.

Here’s why…
