@Capitolwhip Has no-one told him that faith doesn’t work like that?

@DavidVance What an appalling post

[Charles Tansley @SquareAlbert]

@Bobstroudsnr No. You really can’t go around allegedly plunging blades into inflatable dinghies - especially as the one in question had someone on board…

@Stephen74977713 @E_N_O It really was excellent - one of the best things I’ve seen at the ENO since its glory days

@russellquirk These problems affected every entertainment organisation and every public institution in Britain. And churches. They all had their halls of shame. Singling out the BBC is understandable, given its high profile - but you’re inadvertently helping the others stay under the radar

@toadmeister Nonsense, Toby. Brexit has done quite enough damage

@implausibleblog @OperaSocialist We’ve all learned the hard way how very wrong he was

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Daniel Hannan (2016), "Outside the EU our food bills will be lower, our fuel bills will be cheaper, our taxes will be lower"

He then makes the case for more migrants from outside the European Union including from the Commonwealth.

Of course our food bills, our fuel bills and our taxes are all much higher now, the opposite of what was promised.

And Brexiters upset at more migrants from outside the EU when that's what Brexiter politicians promised 🤷‍♂️

@TiceRichard Surely they were never Labour candidates?

[Charles Tansley @SquareAlbert]

@bmay Unbelievable!

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

You genuinely couldn’t make this up.

Reform UK called a press conference at the Welsh Parliament claiming that they were boycotting the Senedd because their “free speech” was being impinged on.

Joe Martin then said “how dare you ask that” to a journalist who asked a question he didn’t like then when I asked a question they walked off.

Quite an ending to a press conference about free speech…
