@nfergus Any evidence for this assertion? Facts free rubbish otherwise.

There are a lot of problems with tax thresholds in our system but the marginal rates faced by benefits claimants trying to work are even worse at times and a big issue for work incentives.

@RobertJenrick This is one of the most astonishing videos I have ever seen posted by a Conservative MP, let alone a candidate for the leadership. Most of it is twaddle, a series of promises of change that leaving the ECHR will do nothing to take forward.

@jfwduffield @stephenkb That does make me chuckle….

[Tom Price @iamtomprice]

@jfwduffield @stephenkb So have deleted.

[Tom Price @iamtomprice]

@jfwduffield @stephenkb Sorry. Did mean it as a bit of fun! Although it is to me true!

This is nonsense.

The defendant pleaded guilty. A judge didn’t make any decision as to his guilt.

By pleading guilty he accepted using or threatening violence towards another - significantly more than simply swearing. He was part of a crowd throwing missiles at police. In offences of violent disorder, defendants are responsible for their part in the wider violence, not simply their individual role. That is a long established principle.

You are minimising and misleading because you think it helps your partisan argument.

The reality is set out here.

@rbrtrmstrng Love it.

[David Wolfson @DXW_KC]

No. This isn’t something to be proud of.

I wasn’t paid as a Minister - there’s a limit of 83 paid ministers, and I could afford it. But most people can’t, and we don’t want to go back to a politics which is only open to the wealthy.

MPs should actually be paid *more*, not less.

[Dominic Grieve @dominicgrieve_]

It's impossible to view the postings of Farage, without utter revulsion.
He masquerades as a " reasoned commentator" on what he claims to be a national crisis linked to immigrants while claiming he deplores any lawlessness. Then he hints at more lawlessness if his warnings are not heeded.
The reality is that his entire political future is dependent on fomenting confrontation and division. It is by creating a climate of crisis that he has got where he has.
And some of my former Conservative colleagues have argued the Conservatives should be linking up with Reform! Perhaps this shameful episode will open their eyes to his malevolence.

The word 'hero' is overused. Not here.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

It is regrettable that whoever wrote this thread did so in apparent ignorance of what the law actually says.

It is really rather wildly misleading.
