@MigrationWatch For each fabled engineer, the British state believes that the acceptable cost is infinity scoundrels. They are on the “all” side of the “all or nothing” equation, and so have moved many people to the “nothing” side. All because the UK won’t gatekeep, and insist on quality.

@DanGreenJourno Very amusing, but the brazenly disloyal cannot themselves expect loyalty moving forward, and should expect to find their perfidy reflected back at them. They’ve set the tone.

@TerraOrBust It does raise some unthinkable thoughts. Is this what doctors and engineers have always done after a lost football match? How does the UK benefit from this sort of “strength” (its “greatest”)? Are people who support a foreign side really as British as the British themselves?

@Telegraph “Purge”? What strange framing, All she requires is that candidates will honour the manifesto that they will be running on in the next election, that they will do as they promise, that they will live up to their contract with the electorate. Predictably, Barwell is fuming.

@JustMisogyny Trans people want everyone else to live their lies too.

@BBCr4today Just what no one wanted, more mindlessness. Engage your brains, not your hearts. Master emotion with reason, and thus govern.

@BBCr4today @bbcnickrobinson Without a blush, the brazenly disloyal will now expect loyalty from their colleagues. They’re not even ashamed of their perfidy, and it will be returned to them in kind. It is very amusing.

@GayTory The key way to “rebuild trust in democracy” is for politicians to do what they promise, and to stop lying. That’s a bit too difficult for them, though, so it is the people who must be punished. “Controlling migration means even more migration, right? Right?”

@CtRLiberty Policing language and tone is all they’ve got. It is a return to “no debate”.

@CosmosStultus @PhrygianWeaver You do not take account of the very many separate poems in English about *Gawain*: G and the Green Knight, The Wedding of G and Dame Ragnelle, G and the Carl of Carlisle, The Tale of Golgoras and G, The Turk and G … and on it goes.

@mattzarb @DanNeidle @garyseconomics My money is mine, and your money is mine too.

@SkyNews @RobHarris Starmer called and “negotiated” them up to a two match suspension, didn’t he? Likely he also offered tax payers’ money, for reasons, and FIFA just had to hang up on him because it was all too embarrassing.

@Steven_Swinford “Reduce … foreign dependency” by “build[ing] closer ties with European countries on defence and security”. Do these clowns ever listen to themselves?

@Miatsf “Free” is the term they use to describe other people’s money. Their money is theirs, your money is theirs too.

@WillJColes University lecturers and employees overwhelmingly vote for these people, so they get what they deserve. Good luck with all the closures!

@bphillipsonMP For the sake of equity, all children should be removed from their parents at birth and placed in state-run orphanages. Then the state can guarantee that no child is given an unfair advantage over any other child.

@MikeTappTweets Was the unnecessary Makerfield election, and knock-on mayoralty election in Manchester, an example of “service”, or was it just a waste of taxpayers’ money in the service of a navel-gazing Labour Party that could only discover a (twice-loser) leader outwith its ranks?

@Keir_Starmer Does a stronger NATO mean ever increased welfare spending at the expense of everything else?

@STILLTish @JustMisogyny @NHS The sooner “care” workers (“our” NHS, social workers, politicians, and on and on), are made criminally liable for their acts, the sooner everything will change.

@SuellaBraverman @damekatydenise_ Trans is gay conversion. As they said at the Tavistock butchery and abuse service: "So many potentially gay children were being sent down the pathway to change gender, two of the clinicians said there was a dark joke among staff that ‘there would be no gay people left’."
