A year ago today Boris left Number 10 and @MPH1982 accompanied his departure to the sad music from EastEnders

‘Fix the roof while the sun is shining.’ George Osborne, Oct 2013
104 schools to close because roofs are in danger of collapsing, Sept 2023.
The political peril for the Conservatives of this is pretty obvious

“When someone like @michaelgove gets on the radio - and says that under Conservative govt rivers are in a better state [...] that is a lie. It is a lie and it needs to be called out.”

@watsonchas on @NickFerrariLBC, after the RSPB were called out for calling ministers, 'LIARS!'

So what? my lived experience is still 15 years or so of pay stagnation.

[Chris Giles @ChrisGiles_]

Quite the UK GDP revision today - hugely higher level - almost 2% up
- ONS found stockbuilding down the back of the sofa in 2020
- and foud wholesale and health services much stronger than expected in 2021

Means the UK is not a global outlier any more....

Pleasant surprise to find a new episode of @SignalstoDanger Danger to listen to this morning. 1984 Eccles. Welcome back @DanielFoxRail

@premnsikka Would you support a movement of customers refusing to pay sewage portion only of water bill? There is no other action I can see that companies would care about. If enough people did this it would have an impact. Your platform would be powerful. I’m doing it, will you repost pls?

[Phil Sturgeon @philsturgeon]

I love it when people angrily prove the thing they’re against works brilliantly.

This has “I’m not paying the Government for using plastic bags, I’ll show them, I’ll just use my own bags!” energy.

Ban private jets.

Nice to see that @Ford’s comms director is concerned about vehicle safety.

Mike, what do you think about teens driving behemoths like the Ford Expedition?

I don’t know about you, but I’d feel safer on a street where teens were riding e-bikes.

Tory MP Ian Duncan Smith backs ULEZ vandals - 'happy' for his constituents to destroy cameras

But he called for tougher punishment for Just Stop Oil and environmental protesters, and striking workers.

Will this hypocrite be charged for inciting violence?

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Some Conservative MPs think they are worth £1,500 per hour, yet don’t think Junior Doctors should start on more than £14.

In reality all doctors want is fair pay after more than a decade of real terms pay cuts.

Please RT if you agree they deserve it.

On hold for 40 minutes to cancel a @skytv subscription.

Any service that can be ordered online should allow online cancellation when out of contract, in exactly the same amount of time it takes to sign up.

This basic piece of consumer protection should be the law of the land.

[Philip Haigh @philatrail]

Major downgrade for TransPennine Express services now it’s under government control. December timetable is a far cry from First’s proposals and will do little to encourage people to switch from the M62.

Any such generosity for Wilko shop workers?
Thought not.
