@DrDonny_tweets Precious memories xx

A brilliant piece from @JohnJCrace...👍🏼😂

"Step forward Lee Anderson’s favourite Tory MP, Lee Anderson.
Back in February 2022, Lee spoke for 20 seconds during a UQ about a wrongly accused post office operator in his Ashfield constituency.
Since then, according to the official record of parliamentary debates, he has said nothing on the subject. "

@squeezyjohn Bless them. Sure they’ll be tasty. 🌱

Left: Conservative Party Home Secretary Suella Braverman, "These are hate marches"

Right: Former Co-Chair of the Conservative Party Baroness Warsi, "Israel is not Netanyahu, the Palestinian people are not Hamas, and the protestors on the streets of London are neither protesting for Hamas, nor are they hate marches"

"Protests planned for weeks. They were in discussions with the Met police for weeks. The route was well away from the Cenotaph for weeks. And yet last week the Home Secteray decided to embolden and make this a political issue knowing full well what the route of the march was going to be"

"That's the way she operates, she fights culture wars. She doesn't fix things, she breaks things"

"I think Suella Braverman is dangerous and divisive. If you look at her rhetoric, it's always about pitching A against B"

"Some of my Conservative colleagues in government project as patriots but they are indeed arsonists. They’ve set this country alight. They pit community against community. They create these fires. That is not the job of a government. The job of a government is to keep us all safe. You do that by creating a sense of ease, not by fighting culture wars"

@BBJournal24 How sad that such an honourable surname should be so discredited through (allegedly) abusing and bullying others. My husband has fond memories of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin awarding him his degree at Bristol University. 😞

[Alan Lester @aljhlester]

It’s notable how the right wing press are now representing the 5 men who tragically lost their lives in the sub as explorers pushing the frontiers of our knowledge of the oceans. 1. This is clearly untrue as they were tourists sightseeing a known wreck. 2. It is a way of countering the comparisons that have been made of the media coverage given to these 5 men and the 500 people missing in the Mediterranean. 3. Even worse, it is a subtle, insidious insistence that their lives really were worth more than those of the migrants. @AyoCaesar @PriyamvadaGopal @NesrineMalik

@Joannechocolat @LouMycroft Absolutely. I’m astounded at the press coverage of the former ‘news’. You echo my feelings @Joannechocolat

@LouMycroft Spot on

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Please retweet this many, many, many times. It's horrific.
@MarinaHyde is so right.
Why isn't this is a huge scandal?

Hundreds of lives ruined. Not a single person held to account. And still: silence on the Post Office scandal | Marina Hyde https://t.co/hiTNKSc699

[Prof Matt O'Leary @drmattoleary]

Ofsted openly admits it doesn't improve education. Its role is restricted to making static judgements about current provision. So, just to be clear, Ofsted contributes absolutely nothing to educational improvement. Is this really the best way to spend c.
£200m of public funds?

[Dorothy Braidwood @dkbwelsh]

@drmattoleary Absolutely. 👍🏼

@Philippa_Perry I love this advice.

[Dorothy Braidwood @dkbwelsh]

@LColbyco3 @Canellelabelle Exactly. Think the book will have scuppered any chance they had of celebrity status. Notoriety perhaps.

@boden_jon Beautiful ❤️

Well, there it is.

Just fabulous. How I want to remember Paul Sartin this Christmas.
