@ParisDaguerre Look, if we just accept that this government and everyone who supports it are despicable shits, it’s so much easier to understand everything they say and do. Brexit did this, politically, but the foulness has always been there.

@BBCPolitics A very rich ‘chip shop owner’.

@Matt_Pinner Of course.

My four favourite Labour policies so far are VAT on private schools, IHT on land owning farms, the Renters' Rights bill and the Employment Rights bill.

They get to the nub of things. How do I know? The wailing and catastrophising on here from all the people they're aimed at.

For a brief moment today, I felt as if we were back in the EU, with Starmer and Macron together in Paris for Armistice Day 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇺

Given the re election of Trump, should the UK forge closer ties with the EU, pursue better trade with the US, or focus on trade with CPTPP?

[Viviane: 🌹Labour led by Keir for me @LaindonFEMINIST]

When I think of good examples of ‘Prime Minister’ it’s tended to be of those long gone from the role. Now I think of Keir Starmer.

@PippaCrerar I don’t think he has to justify his travel, and certainly not to journalists.

@MatthewStadlen Yes. No surrender.

Shame on Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson, who refused to provide 10,000 extra NHS beds to help manage covid and to bring down waiting lists. Instead, they wanted more use of the private sector. Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting decision making at the start of the pandemic #CovidInquiry

Jacqueline Carey, "In July 2020 NHS England sought 10,000 non temporary beds, to deal with recovery and future surges"

"You go on to say the request for the funding was not approved by Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson"

"Why did you need 10,000 extra beds in the NHS?"

Amanda Pritchard, CEO NHS England, "We wanted to do both covid and non-covid work"

Jacqueline Carey, "And the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's office was involved in the decision to refuse, they wanted more use of Nightingales and the independent sector"

"What were the consequences of Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson refusing those 10,000 beds?"

Amanda Pritchard, "It was disappointing.. We could have been in a different position.. We could have treated thousands of more patients as well as being more resilient going into the second wave.. We would be in a very different position now"

@suzyquiquero Have the Tories got a Deputy Leader?

[Paul Davies @docdave60]

@NickyAACampbell The Head of the BBC? I hope so.

This “Starmer spends too much time abroad” thing is risible. He’s a new PM, establishing relationships, in a world which is on fire- all of which affecting voters at home.
