The thing I don’t understand about these Conservative MPs is that they are such angry people. They haven’t done badly out of Britain - they aren’t on the receiving end of their own policies. And yet they want to smash everything up. The EU, The Union and now their own party.
David Davis appears to be colluding of his own volition with representatives of a foreign government to undermine the stated aims of his own country’s government.
There is a name for that.
A curious PARADOX !
Phillip Alston releases his preliminary UN Report on UK Poverty.
Tory Govt, denies the findings
The media barely cover it!

Up and down the Country - groups organising fundraising for
#ChildrenInNeed receives an entire evening's coverage on BBC.
This week the government committed public funds to a wave of new schools in England which will be able to select all their children on the basis of faith. It should instead fund good local schools which serve their communities, not religious interests https://t.co/EgResPnwno
I'm going to start addressing evangelical Christians like they talk at gay people:
"Yeah, I just don't agree with your lifestyle."
"Your beliefs are simply a phase."
"I respect you, just not how you live your life."
"You shouldn't be allowed to get married."
No...this country has done very well economically and to be blunt joining the Eu saved our bacon. The way our society is structured, the social services and compassion with which OUR Govt operates...is what has broken this Country. In particular...extended Austerity.
.@atlasobscura uncovers the curiousity that is Baba-Yaga and the female illustrator behind it, Natalia Chelpanova. This book should have been well off-limits at the time in the golden-age of Soviet children's literature. https://t.co/WBROYEkuJj
Trump encouraged Brexit. He indulged hopes of a rapid US-UK trade deal. Then he abandoned UK to its fate, slamming it with tariffs too. Brexiteers Farage & Boris Johnson derided Obama as more Kenyan than American -but Obama was the truer friend https://t.co/58EDETIxeq
Amber Rudd's return to the Cabinet shows there is one place where can you be sacked (or forced to resign) because of gross misconduct only to be employed once again a few months later by the same boss without a second thought.
That place is this Conservative Govt.
Lord Heseltine - "Theresa May put the #Brexiteers in charge for 2 years, they completely screwed it all up... now, that they're on the backbenches they are festering the discontent which is a direct product of their own incompetence"

This is pretty disturbing. At the same time that Facebook was publicly professing their desire to work with the Intel committee, they were paying a political opposition research firm to privately attempt to undermine the committee’s credibility.
"Open your eyes - there is very real poverty out there."
UN Special Rapporteur Philip Alston says there are people in the UK "living in destitution" and that "government people haven't been out in the field to see what the real circumstances are."
