@noirdxb Missed you at the Ball!

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@Madamecaramel Better, convalescing, and you Madame?

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@siennaarchive Lol, that would be a luxury, actually we stand on the sidelines, but the views make up for it!

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@Madamecaramel OMG, sympathies... I've just been there, that Gif really gets it!

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@OraDave @BBCNews Yep... climate change doesn't just mean warmer, it means more erratic too.

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@KemiBadenoch We love you Kemi, more of the same, please.

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@FionaWinserRamm Well, maybe, but there's always a risk that the terms of reference become so broad and diffuse that focus is lost. Someone, somewhere, has been negligent or worse, and should be held to account.

@RestoreBritain We insult ourselves by calling them third world savages, there's no need for it. They're migrants, some good, some bad, like every other grouping, and we can still ligitimately say we don't want them, and won't accept them.

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@RestoreBritain Whether you agree with the policies or not, I feel it's hard to deny the Mr Lowe is an honest and sincere politician. He gives it to you straight... very straight!

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@Madamecaramel @FemdomBall_ But after a few, who cares!

@KelvinEHughes @BBCNews @KemiBadenoch Continuing...I suppose you could pay them 10 times more, and no expenses. That's pretty much what Singapore do. It's a system!

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@KelvinEHughes @BBCNews @KemiBadenoch That's not remotely comparable. Expenses incurred mainly or wholly in the persuit of their work as MPs should always be fully reimbursed. Not to do so would be making them pay to be MPs, which is not what anyone wants!

@BBCNews ...provided for than those who have not. This is very how 'unemployment benefit' used to work 30-ish years ago.

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@BBCNews I'm not entirely convinced of the practicality of some of the administrstive arrangements here, but the direction of policy is to be applauded. The system should recognise that people who have a made a long and substantial contribution should be better...

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@Madamecaramel Lol, calm yourself...it's click bait, it's engineered to provoke a reaction. You know this!

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@Madamecaramel Awesome... beats my egg on toast! 🤣

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

If there were ever a picture worth a thousand words, this must surely be it! Love it.

@RichardDawkins ...was gained from hours of training and coaching, but instead rewarded talent, that ability to improvise, invent, create. We used to do more of this, it was called exams, but it was not a system that found favour with the blob.

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@RichardDawkins ...manner because we like predictability, a system in which effort, coaching, and all the other advantages that children receive from their parents, pay dividends. It solidifies advantage. It would be easy to assess in such a way that little...

[Robert Jones @robertgbjones]

@RichardDawkins Teaching to the test is totally the problem, exactly as you suggest, but it is a symptom, not a cause. Teaching to the test is inevitable if the test can be taught to, so the question kicks back... why do we test in a manner that can be so easily taught to? We teach in that...
