Voting against having the governments response reviewed, presumably to avoid negative feedback AND voting against thanking the flood responders?? Where is the logic?

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Watch in disbelief as Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party vote down a motion to thank those who worked so hard to respond to last months unprecedented floods & call for an independent review to assess Government response & what lessons need to learned. THEY ACTUALLY CHEERED!

I, personally, look forward to the 220-team World Cup presented by Blackrock, hosted exclusively in the United States every six months and powered by Polymarket.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🚨 Thank goodness! Finally some pushback.

Commons committee says reliance on Palantir (and other US tech) is an “unacceptable point of weakness” for UK national security.

Time to trigger the break clause and build domestic alternatives.

The Atlanticist tech gamble is starting to meet real resistance.

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

No, @louismosley. We're putting patient safety over your evil company's interests 👀

Whatever complaints MPs have about Keir Starmer, they are now descending into the kind of headless chickenry that - whatever and whoever the outcome - will make the situation even worse for Labour. If there is a grand plan starring Catherine West and a few PPSs, then it doesn’t feel terribly thought through. A period of calm would do none of them any harm. The general election is a fair way off. The next legislative programme is about to be unveiled. There are better ways to reach such an important decision and better times too. You are MPs not commentators who exist to feed a frenzy.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Out of curiosity, why is there so much pressure on Starmer to resign

But no pressure on Nigel Farage who took a £5,000,000 gift from a foreign billionaire and coincidentally started calling for the very thing the foreign billionaire wants for the UK, crypto deregulation?

[Cal Cowen @calculus52]

Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you!

About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already!

It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

Sadiq Khan is considering blocking Palantir’s contract with the Met Police.

Say no to Palantir in the NHS here 👇

“Low tax” conservatives would scream bloody murder if I suggested raising the top rate of tax by 9%

Perfectly happy to whack grads with it for 40 years, though, and scratch their chins about the birth rate

[Faisal Islam @faisalislam]

Lowest London murder rate in a decade, after significant decline. taking into account population, since records like this began in 2003

At 1.1 in 100k one of the safest major cities in the globe, safer than all big American cities, & every single US State https://t.co/klGSh3Qf9b

‘Graduates need to be earning about £66,000 before they start tackling the actual debt and not just the interest.’

The student loan system is an unsustainable, irrational, immoral and classist system that’s been ignored by politicians for far too long. https://t.co/ZVCXiBTAwF

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

This will be massive on the Reform news channels today.

[Sebastian Salek @sebastiansalek]

The NHS just had a record summer.

That’s despite resident doctors striking in July. But no one is talking about it!

4 impressive stats:

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

I once gave Boris Johnson advance notice of my PMQ because I wanted a decent answer on something and wasn’t bothered about scoring points. It all depends on whether you think we’re here to play games or to do something worthwhile.

[Tom Hatfield @WordMercenary]

So he's going to be voting on tech company issues as an MP, working for Microsoft as an advisor and writing about tech/business as a journalist, all at the same time?

[Natasha Clark @NatashaC]

Tories want to run the country...
Can't spell it

[Henry Hill @HCH_Hill]

Who wants a preview of how a Reform government will go?

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.

When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected.

Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer @MichelleMone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle?

For the £122 million you pocketed from taxpayers for delivering unusable PPE – at least £65 million of which went straight into your venal husband’s offshore accounts in the Isle of Man?

For being one of a small minority of corrupt grifters who saw a global pandemic as nothing more than a chance to get rich quick?

For caring more about lining your own pockets than the deaths of NHS staff & patients?

For being disgustingly cynical & avaracious - unlike all those millions of ordinary, decent Britons across the country who stepped up with such courage & decency?

I was given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on, Michelle.

Nurses and porters in our hospital died from the Covid they caught there, Michelle.

How dare you try to bleat victimisation now, Michelle?

You are the polar opposite of the values that should govern public life.

Repay what you owe & get your dishonourable form as far away from the House of Lords as possible.

[Chris Ray @Ray_ChrisRay]

A big enough deal cannot be made about this news

Unfit PPE for our NHS staff through dodgy contracts. Making millions while we suffered through covid

Those who took advantage of their position & the pandemic can be brought to justice, I want to see more https://t.co/5imFyMlJmi

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

Nearly five years on, PPE Medpro, the company linked to Michelle Mone, will have to pay back £122m for the defective gowns it sold the government.

Now it’s time to go after the ministers who handed out contracts worth billions to their political chums.
