@GuruAnaerobic@ChrisGPackham Do you have any evidence. My experience is exactly the opposite. The Rothay and Windermere now heavily polluted - we’re pristine when I was a kid.
@JamesDuddridge Jolly good idea! Johnson is someone who will not recognise his absolute failure until he is public ally humiliated. Better though that he stands again in Uxbridge or Mid-Bedfordshire. See how the famous “winner” fares then.
'People are just desperate for a General Election.'
'Are they though, are they *really*?'
Labour MP Dame @Meg_HillierMP tells Tory MP @BrineMP that he's clearly 'living on a different planet' as he doesn't believe people want a General Election.

Many former Conservative voters stayed at home in protest at high taxes, lack of control of our borders, and too much local and national government interference in their lives.
BBC Six O’Clock News:
Q: “What do you think of the Labour Party?”
A: “I remember when they were in Government last time, they left a little note in the Treasury - there’s nothing left”
@hantschronicle “The event focussed on a host of issues including veterinary workforce shortages, including a demand made by Mr Brine that vets shouldn’t be allowed to leave the profession to trounce him in elections for Parliament.”
@gwynwiliiams@CllrOddy@DonnaJa51460888@IsabelOakeshott@DominicRaab Because they know it is illegal. Civil servants aren’t required to break the law, they are paid to change the law and implement it. If the law is international law then it’s up to the Government to change that or withdraw from the relevant treaty.
Braverman's rhetoric of demonizing refugees and asylum seekers is really distasteful.
We do not support sending refugees to Rwanda.
They need safe and legal routes.
We need to replace our current system of danger and despair with one of hope and dignity.
The government desperately needs to resource the Home Office properly.
Over 160,000 people are waiting for decisions on asylum applications - the majority wait for over 6 months.
During this time they are not permitted to work, and cost the taxpayer £7m a day in accommodation
Don't let them get away with it!
People are fed up with Tory MPs who stand up for the water companies instead of the people who elected them.
We must stop sewage dumping in our rivers - we can elect MPs who care passionately about our environment & water quality. #SewageScandal
The Conservative Government's new farm payment scheme is deeply unfair and penalises upland farmers in places like Cumbria by paying them a third less than their lowland counterparts.
The consequences of this to British farming and to our environment will be devastating 👇
Committee stage of the Tories Migration Bill;
Labour voted for a new Cross Border Police Unit to go after the people smuggler gangs - Tory MPs voted against
Labour voted for requirement to consult councils on asylum accommodation & hotels in their areas - Tory MPs voted against
Yvette Cooper - "Can he confirm James Cleverly is backing legal action against Suella Braverman... that's a 1st for this chaotic government. Robert Jenrick has been sent around the country with a copy of waterways weekly trying to find barges instead, & he still hasn't found any"
Yvette Cooper shreds and shames Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick in this 4 min speech. This is something spectacular to watch.
Jenrick's response? "Labour have no plan."
"What you're telling me is, you don't mind infringing free speech to protect children from this amorphous thing you think of, but when it comes to children that have died, you don't give a flying f*ck."
Jon Stewart is a national treasure.
@MrJohnNicolson @CommonsDCMS Richard Sharp, despite having no TV experience, gets £160,000 salary for a job gifted to him by his friend Johnson.
It is straightforward blatant corruption.
Should donors be able to give vast sums to political parties and then be rewarded with plum jobs?
BBC Chair Richard Sharp facilitated an £800k loan for Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson then gave him the job.
In this case ‘Unsuitable’ says former BBC Director General John Birt.
