@wallaceme @lukerobertblack Sort of looking forward to single market enthusiasts who loudly backed VAT on school fees tying themselves in knots to square that circle.

[Arnie Craven @ACinYorks]

@AllieRenison Relentless.

[Arnie Craven @ACinYorks]

@wallaceme @AmbJapanUK Deeply jealous.

[Arnie Craven @ACinYorks]

Economic malaise is a choice. We can stop choosing it.

[Arnie Craven @ACinYorks]

This is embarrassing. Parliament is sovereign. We are bound only by ourselves.

“It’s a not communications problem, it’s an action problem”.

Lawrence Newport, founder of the Looking for Growth, rejects the idea “that Keir Starmer didn’t speak enough about hope” was his main problem.

You've demonstrated that you can defend the Realm and eliminate the King's enemies. That's all fine.

Can you now please tell me about a time when you Saw the Big Picture and Engaged with Stakeholders?

What an insane question from Nick Robinson

It isn’t the benefit claimant’s money - it’s *taxpayers* money, which taxpayers have worked hard to earn

Helen puts it very well below

@awalmsley11 Every political party has people in favour of and opposed to devolution. Best if you consider how many of the 18 Councils which backed One Yorkshire were Conservative controlled (spoiler: lots of them).

[Arnie Craven @ACinYorks]

Tom is entirely right. The artificial split of Yorkshire into sub-region Metro Mayoralties stymies the region and doesn’t allow regional governance at scale which actually allows for fundamental economic improvements to be achieved. https://t.co/RCj1syhgJS

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

Reform keep telling us the Tories are dead.

But here they are neck-and-neck with them in the latest YouGov poll.
