And
Climate change just window dressing; missing opportunities for growth in the green economy
•Treatment of Parliament: bullying by whips, prorogued illegally, announcements made elsewhere

[Huw Williams @netstrategics]

@AngelaRayner
And
Afghan exit:
Social care unresolved
National Insurance is bad way to raise taxes to fund NHS;
Cost of living crisis – inflation (worse for poor), electricity, removal of benefit uplift
Levelling up centralised, “pork barrel”

[Huw Williams @netstrategics]

@AngelaRayner

My list is:
•Incompetent Brexit: Northern Ireland mess, fishing issues, Dover queues, impact on GDP
•Pandemic: highest death rate, biggest economic hit (why growth is high now), corrupt and wasteful awarding of contracts; vaccines funded by research grants;

@AngelaRayner

Brilliant exposure of PM https://t.co/hoiRLmWh8L

“It was all about becoming prime minister, winning, not about being prime minster.”
