@tomhfh Kemi used to go around at the Tory conference preceded by whooping and clapping monkeys intended to announce her entry into any public space.
Awful, as this was.

@tomhfh Councils don’t keep business rates Tom, they only collect them for central govt in return for a small admin fee.

@LiamHalligan As I told Angelos Frangopopolopolus when I met him at a recent meeting. Huge hole in GB News coverage. Huge.

@NormanBrennan @dorsetpolice There is a Go Fund Me page to support him and by implication stick two fingers up at Dorset.

@PaulEmbery I hope Me Embery doesn’t mind but to support Lorne Castle and stick two fingers up at Dorset, there is a Go Fund Me page https://t.co/H1R18YppvV

@kelvmackenzie Maybe Kelvin but you can’t govern a country with just one man.
The main effect of the argument is that no one of any seriousness is going either to defect, or stand as a senior candidate.

@CarverEmily Get dear old @LiamHalligan back. He’ll explain

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@AllisonPearson He’s a good lad, Robert. Spoke at a lunch of ours yesterday.

@beverleyturner @GBNEWS Except sadly from @LiamHalligan whose knowledge and expertise would and will be a huge asset to the channel in the times ahead.
The action of the markets is the only route to getting rid of this awful government.
Not your fault @beverleyturner but wake up @gbnews

@johnredwood War on landlords was started by George Osborne and waged by every successive Conservative chancellor. Yours, a Tory party member.

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@johnredwood Yes PPs exist but are subject to Reserved Matters approval by Councils before building can start.
Often takes 6/9/12 months.

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@CamillaTominey You’ve made it unwatchable. Constant interruptions, attempts at point scoring.
It should be a conversation, not all about you.

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@FraserMcFarland @ReevesJoanna Hi, can you explain where the NC represents the views of members?
How does it fit in (or not) at CCHQ?

@DCBMEP @RobertJenrick I have to say I don’t understand the 2.5/3% discussion here as being any more logical than the 0.7% figure for foreign aid.
Arbitrary figures both.
Give the armed services what they need. That’s not related to GDP.

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@DCBMEP @MarkJLittlewood @popconuk Wasn’t able to watch live, will it be posted somewhere?

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@DCBMEP I think he’s affecting some sort of breakdown in order to distract from his failings, just as you say.

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@LiamHalligan @GBNEWS On a day when the civilised world remembers the first steps back on the road to freedom in Europe, we lose one of the most effective exercisers of that freedom to analyse, criticise and comment, clearly and effectively. Bugger you Mr Frangopoulos.

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@DavidGHFrost I think for the reason you state she should be treated politely.
Respect? I think not.

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@kelvmackenzie 100% correct Kelvin. Badly and expensively managed.
Should have been phased to complete each corner of the site before moving on, leaving the rest of the area unaffected.
The busiest part of the busiest motorway shut for days to install speed trap gantries and bridleways. Mad.

[Simon Dear @halburysimon]

@LeeAndersonMP_ Absolutely right Lee. At a time when many members are struggling to find the enthusiasm to engage, the timing of this anti-democratic insult speaks volumes about the quality of thought at the heart of the Tory party.
