@JohnRentoul Contested in front of party members will always be a bad idea. Memberships tend to extremes.

A vote by the people whose support is vital -MPs - is a different matter.

@mccourt_mccourt Don't you know the North London school scam?

1. Buy a house in a posh area, with schools to match.
2. Have the kids tutored 10 hrs pw.
3. Get them into Oxbridge.
4. Declare yourself a socialist and anti-private schools.

@FraserNelson Burnham should know that.

He's a Warrington lad, and the dodgy "investments" of that council make Tower Hamlets look honest.

What could possibly go wrong?

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@jack_turban Nobody is stopping kids playing sports.

They are stopping boys choosing to play on the girl's team. AKA cheating.

@tomhfh "an ethnic diversity recruitment firm".

As though they were going to say: "looks good, don't change a thing".

Instead, it's "woo, looks racist, we can help sort it, but it'll cost ya".

How can Treasury officials, supposedly highly-educated people, be so naive?

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@GarethDennis @afneil It is.

The bigger question is why bother? Sure, a NW MP has to visit his constituency, but the job is in London, and is unrelenting - 24/7.

If Burnham wants to live in the NW, he should have stayed in his old job.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@simonpatkins @johngconnolly Yes, very likely.

And having worked in both, I'd say they are making the right choice.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@AaronBastani Ah, just what we're missing!
Another bunch of party hacks leeching off the taxpayer.

Does this idea come with matching staff reductions in Whitehall? Thought not.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@PaulEmbery @johngconnolly Ditching the numeracy test for DEI would only make a difference if minority candidates were less numerate.

Are they? Methinks not. Ergo, to suggest they are is de facto racist.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@MazzucatoM @guardian Ah, the Missions Agenda. They speak of little else in Barnsley.

Which might be why a town that used to weigh Labour votes just went Reform.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@RobertHouseInc @KemiBadenoch If the state provided effectively for SEND kids, you might have a point. It doesn't.

I know parents who beggar themselves to give their disabled kids a chance.

Cruel doesn't do it justice.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@Jonathan_Hinder How about the Gov't stops spaffing taxes on those who won't work, on immigrants and asylum seekers?

Then you can let us all get on with spending the money we worked hard for.

Radical idea, I know!

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@annaturley Let's do it the Labour way:

1. Buy a house in a posh school's catchment area.

2. Have the kids privately tutored.

3. Pull strings to get them into Oxbridge.

4. Become a nepobaby MP.

Sound familar?

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@AndreaEganGS Si vis pacem, parabellum - if you would have peace, prepare for war.

Huge numbers of your members have family members who serve, or have served.

Do you think they like this proto-Marxist claptrap?

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@BBCWalesNews Yep.

Then more Co2 is emitted when goods are produced in China for the UK market.

This headline is typical BBC guff.

The Blatantly Biased Corporation at its finest.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@BBCNews Important correction: "taxpayers pay £287k over breach of women's rights.

The woke blokes responsible haven't been fired, admonished or lost a penny's pay."

There, fixed it for ya!

PS I'm taxed to fund this bollocks. Do better.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@AllisonCGardner @Rocketman_86 Yes, words matter.

John McDonnell called for a Tory MP to lynched. He's never apologised. Why does he still hold the whip?

I could add a dozen plus Labour MPs who have made offensive, or racist comments.

No action taken. Your party's hypocrisy is clear.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@AgnesCPoirier Of course Macron is sorry to see Starmer go.

He's given Macron, and every other foreign leader, everything they wanted.

Macron got £500m for not stopping the boats. The EU gets £570m for Erasmus.

The world's softest touch.

[Arthur Wrightus @WrightusArthur]

@davelobley @NicholasTyrone How "masking"?

HMRC has strict rules on the difference. If Sunak helped a firm grow, and saw a gain, good luck to him.

Remember: if his investment went south, he'd bear the whole loss.
