Remember, sink estates, feral behaviour, feckless, scroungers. They create stigma & division. That is how they retain power. Cleverly is indeed clever, he needs to generate division & hatred to maintain power & sadly many just lap it up. Sadly we pay him to do this

[Phil Read @philreadUK]

No, he's not thick. He knows exactly what he's doing and saying. That's what makes him dangerous. Create divisions, pit one against the other. Raise tension & dislike. This is what Conservatives do & that's why they need to go. They rely on this for their support.

@SocialistVoice @philreadUK @JamesCleverly He ain't that C'leverly! He can't help it, he thick!

[Phil Read @philreadUK]

Or you are manipulating. There is a difference between sarcasm based on fact, & James Cleverly telling outright lies & misinformation as well as being quite abusive on occasions. If you can't understand that well, I'm not going to help you understand.

[Phil Read @philreadUK]

Mmmm, bit of a problem. Read what you said. I told someone this would be used against them if they were my employee. No, not someone, James Cleverly. As stated, I don't employ anyone & followed this with an explanation of performance. You either don't understand...

[Phil Read @philreadUK]

Grow up, please!

[Socialist Voice @SocialistVoice]

Tory MP @JamesCleverly is the biggest hypocrite on the face of the Earth

Not only did he defend Tory Cllr Rosemary Carroll after she tweeted a racist joke comparing brown people to dogs, he has now defended Shaun Bailey

Remember this next time he accuses Labour of anti-Semitism

[Phil Read @philreadUK]

Don't be silly, did I say I'd used this against anyone? I have no staff to use it against!! You like to manipulate?

[Phil Read @philreadUK]

and while talking of bullying, any views on Windrush, DWP, poor people, disabled - all examples of systemic bullying (and worse) by a government you appear to support?

@missellieaqua @JamesCleverly Performance Improvement Programme, well loved by many employers who want to get rid of employees but have no real reason. Advised by an HR consultant for a multi national company that this is how to do it. Most people will then resign. This is how much of business works. Nice.

[Thomas H. 💙 @THemingford]

So many Tory supporters only seem to care about taxpayers and their money. Fuck people, fuck the disabled, fuck the people who risk their lives to save others. But then when something happens to them, oh how the tune quickly changes. Selfish fucking twats. #bbcqt

If you earn less than £50,000 per annum then according to Mrs May @theresa_may you are an unskilled worker. Please reply by telling me what you do to earn less than £50K.

[Clive Peedell @cpeedell]

We do indeed have record numbers of people in employment, but the tax take is flat and we can’t afford to invest in public services. This clearly suggests that the jobs being created are low skilled, poorly paid and precarious. #bbcqt

[Emu Hughes @indieemu]

@DWP No idea about my state pension because I doubt there will be one by the time I'm at retirement age. Whatever retirement age might be. Your probably going to pull the rug out from my feet too like you did with the #WASPI women. Joke of a department, joke of a government

@TimMorton2 @AWilliamsTweets @Alison_Inman @Bushbell @colinwiles A voice for social housing when most in the sector were silent A band of hope for many indeed.

Yes, because human dignity is always found when your head is bowed to the ground and your feet meekly shuffle to your extinction.

[Wolfie. 💙🧡💚 @Tpopularfront]

They’re all assuming that immigrants will want to come here.

Why the fuck would someone want to come to this nasty xenophobic, little Island, post Brexit?

Especially after we’re likely to deport them after we’ve used them.

Still the best example is mine --my sister born Jan 53 got her state pension Sept 2015. Me born Dec 53 don't get mine til March 2019. Born in the same year yet 3 and a half years difference in SP date.

[Hasan Patel @CorbynistaTeen]

Send me back to where? The hospital I was born at in East London? What do you mean?
