Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

This is so true.

But please RT if you’re not prepared to let the NHS go without a fight.

Tory voters…

Tell me

What goes through your minds when you see this?

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Well, well, well,

Have a watch of this…

Govt voted to relax laws on letting water firms pump sewage into our waters

Why?

Because water firms could no longer get the chemicals needed to treat the water

Why?

…BREXIT

Here's our final song of 2023, about the deserving folk receiving #NewYearHonours & the contrast with the pathetic cronyism in @trussliz & @BorisJohnson appointees. It's to the tune "There Is Nothing Like A Dame" but called "Does Liz Truss Not Feel Ashamed?" 🎶Happy New Year!🥳🍾

Did I mention that Karen Barclay wife of Steve Barclay Secretary of State for @DefraGovUK is Head of Major Infrastructure and Regional Engagement at @AnglianWater?

Just saying.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Wow.

Rishi Sunak writes to Liaison Committee to say that if asked about any financial conflicts of interest, he won't be able to answer and afterwards he'll decide himself if there are any & then notify the committee!!!!

NO.
BEFORE anyone becomes a Minister they should declare all. Sunak and Cameron now hide behind "blind trusts".

There should be no Financial Conflicts of Interest. Full stop.

Corruption, or any sniff of it, must end at the next election
Firm rules.
Strict adherence
Or not allowed to be an MP

THOUGHTS?

The strikes this week have not been caused by junior doctors

They’ve been caused by a Government that has taken healthcare professionals for granted for far too long

Please RT if you can see through the Government spin and back the junior doctors

All they want is fair pay.

It takes nothing for Harry & Meghan to get slapped across the front pages of our papers…

But the weekend after Harry wins a case showing there was "widespread & habitual” criminal phone hacking, against the royal family no less

…silence

The UK media landscape is a disgrace.

Michelle Mone on #bbclaurak

I remember a year ago when I spoke to some journos about why they weren't printing material about her, and they told me they'd received threatening letters from her lawyers.
I decided to start tweeting about it anyway, and I'm glad I did.

They've lied for years, and now that DHSC is suing PPE Medpro for £122 million for unusable gowns, they've no choice because they're finally exposed.
It's only about the money & always about the money.

They profiteered while front line NHS staff suffered and people died alone.

Note 1. Doug Barrowman is also on unrelated charges of fraud in Spain.
Note 2. The UK National Crime Agency raided their homes and offices and they are under criminal investigation.

It bears repeating that this bill declares Rwanda safe, when it isn't.

It is not safe. That means the people they are fighting to remove every last protection from will be in danger if sent there.

They can't deny that, but want to deny our courts the right to say it. #r4today

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Weirdly the Mone/Barrowman documentary fails to explain why they lied to hide their ownership of their PPE company.

[CaptainSwing666 🇪🇺 @CaptainSwing666]

So the government is sneaking in:

No right to strike
No right to protest
No right to privacy

Got the picture yet?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

On Wednesday the right to strike is being voted on in the House of Lords, if it fails Public Sector employee's will be banned from striking.

If you support the right to strike like I do give this a RT

We have had this right for 170 years they cannot take it away.

Home Secretaries who have been to Rwanda to celebrate their great scheme - 3. Migrants who have been sent - 0. Cost per Home Secretary so far (not including today’s visit) - £50million
