I’m not going to RT Sunak but in his desperation he has plumbed a new depth. My political opponents aren’t enemies, or enemies of the people or a ‘criminal gang’. He debases his office and forgets act as PM of the UNITED Kingdom not seek to sow division

Six per cent for essential public sector workers. 45% for King Charles. And people are meant to accept that? https://t.co/j0ySpCQnsn

From the Guardian this morning, one chart to tell you all you need to know about for whose benefit the economy is now run:

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Leave the EU, your nearest neighbour, and lose 4% of GDP.
Join a trading bloc on the other side of the planet to gain 0.08% of GDP.

@Halfords_uk so I'm assuming this isn't the official UK Halfords as you don't allow direct messaging? Thanks

Chris Bryant shreds Rishi Sunak.

6.5 minutes long. Watch all of it in utter shock. This is our PM. How our nation has fallen 🫤

🚨 | BREAKING: Chris Bryant slams Rishi Sunak over the Privileges Committee report

Bryant: "Do you think the MPs should apologise?"

Sunak: "I haven't gone through the report yet"

B: "You haven't... read the report?"

S: "Not from cover to cover"

B: "It's 3 pages long..."

Rishi Sunak enabled Boris Johnson's culture of rule-breaking and contempt for the British people.

He won't stand up to his own party, and he won't stand up for Britain.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

It is also very important to note that every member of the privileges committee, including every Tory MP, concluded that Boris Johnson should be suspended for more than 10 days, the threshold of a possible by-election, even before he committed the contempt of leaking and attacking the committee's report. "We unanimously concluded that the minimum sanction we should recommend to the House should be suspension from the service of the House sufficient to engage the provisions of the Recall of MPs Act," the report says. They decided on this sanction because: "We have concluded...that in deliberately misleading the House Mr Johnson committed a serious contempt. The contempt was all the more serious because it was committed by the Prime Minister, the most senior member of the government. There is no precedent for a Prime Minister having been found to have deliberately misled the House. He misled the House on an issue of the greatest importance to the House and to the public, and did so repeatedly. He declined our invitation to reconsider his assertions that what he said to the House was truthful. His defence to the allegation that he misled was an ex post facto justification and no more than an artifice. He misled the Committee in the presentation of his evidence."

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Entirely predictable that Johnson making baseless accusations that he’s been forced out - he even uses the word “witch-hunt”. Trumpian rubbish. Privileges Cttee has Tory majority. He lied about the most serious of things & was held to account for treating us all with contempt

The Tories took the Royal College of Nursing to court. But not Michelle Mone.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

A good question @BBCNews. Why are you so terrified of reporting the fatal motion tabled by @GreenJennyJones to stop the Government restricting our right to protest by using an outrageous abuse of power? Still SILENCE

That’s the same Lord Bethell who mysteriously ‘lost’ his phone, then alleged it was broken, only to then claim he’d given it to a family member

My landlord just sent me a notice increasing my rent by £675 a month! Jesus. I pay my rent all on my own (a two-bed for me and my two kids). How tf is this legal? This country is out of control.

@carolvorders My god it's boring and he seems unfazed by the fact he's not even making an effort.

[Robert Pearce @GreenPearce]

@jessphillips But he has handed over 10s of thousands of irrelevant documents to the inquiry, nothing to see here. Move along...
