🚨BREAKING

🔴Matt Hancock & Boris Johnson should be CHARGED

▪️Matt Hancock REJECTED CMO Officer, Chris Whitty’s advice to test all residents going into English care homes for Covid.

“Appalling DEATH toll was entirely avoidable - it's a scandal of monumental proportions."

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Ed Miliband, ages ago, clearly articulating why Boris Johnson is a fraud and conman.

Johnson remains marred in myriad scandals for which he’ll face no consequences, he’s still begging for treasure. Anyone that still idolises that utter prick, is a moron

[Graham Simpson @grahambsi]

Wow, he must realise the implications of what he’s saying. Doesn’t he?

[Dominic Minghella @DMinghella]

Rishi's howler today will haunt him forever. And the rest of us too. What a waste of fucking time and energy the Brexit lie has proved to be. What a criminal hit to our standing, our freedoms and our economy - and therefore to real lives. Especially lives of the most vulnerable.

“Northern Ireland has the privileged access to both the U.K. and the EU….nobody else has that”

Well, the whole U.K. had that!!

“Michael Gove suggests government should consider removing child benefit from parents if children regularly miss school.”

What about MPs who never attend the Commons Michael?

Has anyone seen Johnson or Truss lately?

Can we remove their expense accounts and salaries?

Yeah, finally someone on TV saying that the food shortages are due to Brexit, not bad weather. #peston

If you’re wondering why Boris Johnson is in hiding tonight watch this. RT it if you think it should be shown on every UK news channel

“Nobody else has that, no one…only you guys…”

How is not one person in the crowd screaming:

“We did have that before you took it away, you UTTER BELL”

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

Rishi Sunak tells #PMConnect that NI is “world’s most exciting economic zone" b/c of access to both GB and EU markets. Earlier he said this "very special position" makes it "incredibly attractive" place to invest. This is, of course, the status *whole* UK had before Brexit 🤔

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Ofgem’s decision means that Energy Companies will be charging 14.1p per KW for Gas they are buying for 4.1p and have NEVER paid more than 10p for because YOU subsidised any cost above that.

For 3 ENTIRE months. They will make nearly £50bn profit in 3 months.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

This is so old, but gosh…

Doesn’t it just show you how the game is rigged?

There is a loophole that means that if you bulk-buy 6 or more properties, you don’t pay the buy-to-let surcharge for stamp duty

And guess who looped that hole…

Jeremy Hunt.

In Welsh, W & Y are vowels.

In Greek, Υ & Ω are also vowels.

Welsh W is pronounced ‘oo’, similar to Greek Ω (oh).

Welsh Y is pronounced (uh/ee), similar to Greek Y (ee).

If the Greek can have these letters as vowels, why shouldn’t we?!

They are our vowels. Get over yourself.
