Election Special 4: The Conservatives.

[Iain Cameron @theiaincameron]

Mark Cavendish’s chain came off today at the #TdF2024 as he crossed the line because he dropped from ~1500W to 0W. Quite common.

1.5kW is 2 horse power! Enough to power a toaster, or a kettle to boil water. Astonishing amount of power.

Scared of a Labour government?

I wouldn’t be- this is what the last one achieved.

Vote for change: and above all if you’re in a Tory seat, vote tactically!

Evict the Tories from Parliament so they can never again bring this country to its knees.

Former head of MI6, Sir Alex Younger,

"I travel around Europe.. Nobody mentions the UK, we've just made ourselves irrelevant"

"Brexit has marginalised us"

"Putin will have been absolutely delighted by our decision to leave the EU, as will have Xi Jinping.. When Xi looks at Europe, he's intent on peeling it away from the US.. This is a key objective for a whole set of reasons"

Ciaran Jenkins dissects Rishi Sunak's claims and finds it wanting. This is Grade A humiliation.

[Christopher Farrelly @ChrisFarrelly]

If you believe a media that tells you that it's wrong for a Doctor, Nurse, Rail Worker, teacher to get a pay rise but it's OK that a hereditary billionaire, who avoided inheritance tax to get a 45% pay rise from £86m to £125m, then you are part of the problem.

As Ursula Von der Leyen says "We are stronger together", well the EU nations are. Their gas and electricity prices are now down 90% and 80% respectively. Ours are not because we left the EU pricing mechanisms. Our inflation is due to ultility price increases, food prices and general inflation, greatly increased by leaving the EU. Wages are spiralling for people to survive and because of labour shortages and because they have been suppressed for so many years. We lost 4.5% of growth each year, which accumulates. An economy cannot cope with inflation if it does not have growth. The cork is effectively in a bottle which is exploding! The governments answer; it is down to the bank to control with interest rate rises. That will probably cause a recession. Doesn't that exacerbate the problem? The only basic common sense answer is rejoin the EU and regain the lost growth as quickly as possible. Is there any alternative?

Excellent letter on the Bairstow affair in today’s Guardian:

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Private schools receive £7,000 per pupil from the Government, and the money parents pay in fees.

State schools receive £5,500 per pupil, that is it.

Private schools should receive NOTHING from the state, RT if you agree.

“Brexit …. the biggest loss of British sovereignty since 1066”.

@hermannhauser, one of the UK’s & the world’s great tech entrepreneurs explains why UK chances of being “the next Silicon Valley” (touted by @Jeremy_Hunt) are “zero”.

@vicderbyshire sounds surprised. Truth hurts.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.

The more followers we have, the louder we can shout for all the NHS staff who are fighting against the Government right now.
