Please, whatever you do, stay calm, focused and disciplined. Do not jeopardise any proceedings. Do not fall into any traps laid by your opponents. There will come a time, but that time is not now.
I can't help but find it astonishing that there seems to be a never-ending pot of cash when it comes to involving ourselves in foreign wars & conflicts...
(Yet here in blighty of course, there is apparently barely any money for anything🤷♀️)
Warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Christmas 🎄
In Bethlehem, Christmas is cancelled in solidarity with their Palestinian brothers & sisters being killed in Gaza.
Please remember Gaza this festive period & support calls for an immediate ceasefire & an end to the occupation.
UN: 'the people of Palestine are staring into the abyss, there is a humanitarian catastrophe'
This war has already seen highest numbers of deaths in conflict amongst:
health care workers
journalists
humanitarian workers
children
US & UK: I don't care
#CeasefireNOW
Apologies for spoiling the morning for so many on Twitter. BUT:
UK economy is now bigger than before the Covid-19 crisis. Indeed UK growth higher than Germany and France, new revisions to official data reveal.
GDP 1.8% per cent larger than final months of 2019 (ONS). Britain’s GDP reached its pre-Covid size way back in the final months of 2021.
So much for being worst performing economy in the G7, which is actually Germany, whose economy is about the same size as before the pandemic. UK has also outpaced France, post-pandemic.
UK growth still nothing to write home about. But that's true of almost every major economy post-pandemic.
As I say -- apologies. I know how much this will upset so many of you. But cheer up. The weekend beckons .
If you disagree with someone, argue with them. Don’t call for their sacking or cancellation. Don’t no-platform them. Don’t argue for them to be booted off social media. Instead, marshal your arguments, and make your case. That is what free and civilised societies do.
