@ScouseLakes Will she last until 2029? I can see a repeat of Ian Duncan Smith where they drop her in a couple of years.

[David Pickersgill @DavidP42]

@ScouseLakes Another snake oil salesman who’ll get a bigger audience once social media fact checking stops.

[David Pickersgill @DavidP42]

@Realkeithmason That’s not the question.
You shouldn’t be spreading lies and misinformation about other candidates.

[David Pickersgill @DavidP42]

@Realkeithmason You were NOT the only candidate who went out knocking on doors in Wakefield and Rothwell Mr Mason.
I was Agent for the Labour candidate Simon Lightwood who was out almost every day, normally for two or three sessions each day.

@LabourList Sensationalist nonsense when the first choice in the poll was Angela Rayner

[David Pickersgill @DavidP42]

@markgoodair @bluzrocker And only because Brian Sicknick the Capitol Police officer who was assaulted died in hospital the following day.

@stuartbruce It won’t trouble him since he owns the majority of shares in the company ….

@markgoodair @BGatesIsaPyscho @Murphybear64 I always enjoy that 20th century way you expect evidence Mark.

@mcribbHistory I often wonder why this action isn’t as well remembered as the charge of the Household and Union brigades (incl. Scots Greys) at Waterloo - defeating cavalry of Napoleon’s Guard in their glory years was no mean feat.

@kelvmackenzie Only 20-30% of Council income is Council Tax.
The rest is from Fees & Charges, Business Rates and some Government Grants, so you are looking at 5-7% of overall budgets.
Some Tory and Liberal Councils are also in recovery plans because they under-paid in the past.

@markgoodair @confidencenac He’s also a best selling novelist.

Congratulations to my old UNISON buddy @WendyNi07471674 Nichols on her appointment as an @UKLabour peer.
Of course we need a more democratic second chamber, but while we have the system we have it is good to see a hard working working class trade unionist there as a working peer

[David Pickersgill @DavidP42]
