@grahamstuart If a government's job isn't to advise and protect its citizens, what on earth are you for? Surely to you idealogical libertarians any regulation (aka the rule of law) is 'nanny' stateism, so you should all get out of politics. Roll on total chaos. Grief! #torychaos
@NokiaMobile My 2019 5.1+ has the loose charging port issue. This is a known manufacturing fault and I thought Nokia had agreed to repair free of charge. Your online chat at Nokia Care says otherwise - that I will have to pay to fix the defect as out of warrenty. Please clarify.
Tories deserve oblivion & will achieve it. To prevent future disasters we need electoral reform/PR, reform of parliament (e.g., electronic voting), & a written constitution. (Note the Oxford comma, @theresecoffey. It's purpose is to prevent confusion, unlike #ToryEconomicChaos )

Yes, backbench MPs should oust Truss & Kwarteng. They won't, & @Conservatives deserve the political annihilation that is coming. Osborne's weath redistribution to the rich, Johnson's corruption, Truss sacrificing the country on the altar of ideology. #ToriesDestroyingOurCountry
Matthew Parris on what Tory MPs must do “#LizTruss should resign. Then sterling will rise, borrowing forecasts will fall, pressure on the Bank of England for breathtaking hikes in interest rates will abate, mortgage lenders will calm down, and we’ll be able to breathe again.”
If Truss and Kwarteng did meet hedge-fund backers a few days before their budget, who then shorted the £ due to the meeting, it is 100% insider dealing. @theFCA must investigate as clearly in the public interest

In just one week, Liz Truss has achieved what every Labour leader has tried – and failed – to do since 2010. She's created a set of shared economic interests between renters, homeowners, pensioners, benefits claimants and workers.
@Rob_Kimbell@trussliz @Number10press Stop the Trumpian MSM gaslighting - it won't work here. We ARE the people & we're furious. I'm not politically aligned, just appalled at what the #Conservatives have become, how they are wrecking a country I love, causing so many people pain & fear. Ideology instead of brains.
Johnson completely destroyed any claim the Conservatives could lay to probity, ‘family values’ or law & order.
Truss & Kwarteng have torched any claim to fiscal responsibility.
It’s hard to see what’s left.
"I am certainly on the side of the consumer," says Liz Truss, who plans to help subsidise massive oil and gas profits, while forcing taxpayers to entirely cover the bill. #pmqs
Refusing to tax the excess profits of oil and gas companies to help families.
Giving tax cuts to water companies polluting our rivers and beaches.
No wonder Tory MPs look miserable at Truss’s first #PMQs. You can almost smell their regret.
Oh dear, she's already missleading people
Truss says 👇 "if taxes are put up to the same level as France, that will put off investors"
How come then, that for the 3RD YEAR RUNNING, France has attracted more foreign investment than any other European country ? #PMQs
Keir Starmer "doesn't understand aspiration" says Liz Truss at #PMQs.
Starmer is the son of a toolmaker who went to Oxford, became Director of Public Prosecutions and leader of the Labour Party.
Folk (including @BBCr4today) are (rightly!) celebrating diversity in the 'great offices of state'. But it's maybe worth noting that Kwarteng, Cleverly, and Braverman were all privately-educated. Fact is that, nowadays, the real lack of diversity in Parliament is class-based.
Prepare for Patel on Steroids with Braverman, who will literally say or do anything to appeal to the Conservative right.
It's a very sad day for human rights and the rule of law.
@BorisJohnson@clairelouisepa2 You've destroyed the @Conservatives, who are now unelectable, as you've done your best to destroy this country. Arrogant, lawless, corrupt, narcissistic liar, as unfaithful in your political as your private life. Caring for nothing & no-one except Boris. Worst PM in history.
