@CPierceUK@afneil HMRC incorrectly calculated my income tax incorrectly, admitting their mistake, but adding if it didn’t pay them the extra £3 they told me I now owed due to their mistake, within a given time frame I would be liable to be fined a £1000 as a starter
The irony of some of those involved in the expenses scandal now spouting their disgust at the latest misuse of trust and power.
The wringing of hands began with cash for questions and flows on seamlessly until present day
@afneil True…..it’s a pity there’s no mechanism for demanding a General Election on the basis of misrepresentation. If we’d wanted someone like Mr Lammy, Ms Rayner et al, we could have vote for the Monster Raving Loony Party

This isn’t Andrew Neil it’s an AI….perhaps Mr Neil knows about it. If I was him I’d be darn annoyed
@DanielJHannan Meanwhile out in the real UK world I’m about to go on my food bank collection which provides hundreds of thousands of meals to people who can’t afford to eat. It’s worth repeating that whilst it’s ok to give billions of pounds to a foreign power our own citizens go hungry
@afneil My memoir is brilliant, he said modestly, but as I’m not a failed politician or facing potential charges I can’t get breakfast TV et al to promote it
A friend of mine volunteers for the Samaritans and tells me they’re proposing to close approx 100 “branches” and asking their volunteers to “work” from home. ATM two people work a shift to support each other emotionally. On a call at home, on your own and your baby needs you ?
@LizKershawDJ Tweeting xing or whatever it’s called is a poisonous biz. They’re all out there, sitting in their vest and pants in attic rooms, or in worse places.
Imo it’s a waste of everyone’s time….why am I here then…. and only subjects you to nasty, ageist etc. Go for a walk instead
@Iromg Where to start on this stupidity, the possibilities are endless. I hope that cabling doesn’t have any copper or other resealable material in it. It’ll disappear overnight probably along with the car attached to it
Can we have a democratic vote on which BBC programmes and presenters could be axed. For me Ditch or sell Eastenders to an independent. Get shot of McEnroe at Wimbledon saves approx £200,000. Certain Breakfast TV journalists are on £360,000 pa etc All paid for by licence payers
@JuliaHB1 The “band” I use the term lightly, will love the publicity this is giving them. In a world where profile is everything and talent an also ran people including us here now talking about them is invaluable
@jk_rowling Why does anyone bother with tweeting/xing whatever it’s called ? It’s poisonous, pointless, a waste of time and emotional energy. Go for a walk with your dog instead. You’ll get more satisfaction and pleasure. If you don’t have a dog then just walk
I watched a little of Ms Abbot’s speech in the commons re British Steel reading from an iPad. Other MPs are equally culpable most, not all, read from a script. This used to be called out, now it’s the norm and should be banned along with the use of mobile phones in the chamber.
