@Dominic2306 How does it feel being completely irrelevant?

@clarescastle @TimesRadio @afneil Nah he's a bigoted old fool who needs to go away. Long done more harm than good

Perhaps it's time for a little more kindness.

1/🚨 Tommy Robinson and Russia🚨Given recent days, questions should be asked about Robinson's links to Russia.

In 2020, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) went to Moscow & St Petersburg.

This marked his 1st overt meeting with figures tied to malign elements within Russia. Some he met specialise in foreign influence operations / spreading disinformation.

@ElliotHammerSR @ElliotHammerSR - public finances would be in a better position if it were not for all the waste and thievery of the previous administration. Do better.

If you want people to cycle from village and town to their nearest train station, give them this.

We're a rich country and can afford to deliver a nationwide network of segregated cycle lanes.

We'll never decarbonise the suburbs without it.

I f—-ing love this country. 🇬🇧

Steve Bray blaring out “things can only get better” as Rishi stands drowning in the rain is a British comedy moment for the ages.

Let’s do ourselves a solid - let’s boot these charlatans out and rejoin our European friends.

Teesworks Freeport scandal, Michael Gove has stopped audits by HMRC for Freeports.

Instead each Freeport will audit themselves and report to a government forum.

Freeports need to be banned, and Michael Gove needs to be prosecuted.

@RobertJenrick @NeilDotObrien You are actively misrepresenting the situation because you commissioned a report that does not confirm what you want it to. In fact, it does exactly the opposite. https://t.co/nVvCcJKbdD

The EU quite rightly isn't going to lower its standards & make exceptions. Labour trying to tweak its way round the Brexit Elephant in the Room just won't wash.
Grow up, get up, & #Rejoin at v least the SM. It's a simple matter of rationality.

How to Win an Information War, by @peterpomeranzev is out now.

No.

We are saying that 14 years of systemic underfunding and 18 years of failure to fix a broken contract is what’s fuelling the crisis in NHS dentistry.

Everything else is noise…

[BDA @TheBDA]

We are appalled some politicians are blaming immigrants for the current crisis in NHS dentistry.

It’s as offensive as it is inaccurate.

@destinysharles I'd like Labour to stand a good chance of winning the next election, so no! Time to move on from the cult of Corbyn because that is all it ever was, a cult!

@RishiSunak Is this a parody account? #toriesout

@mikegalsworthy As someone who works in HE, Turing is rubbish in comparison. It's great we can still send students overseas, but the replacement model is not a good one all round.

One month before Russia invaded Ukraine, I stood trial at the High Court. And now I wait, in purgatory, to be judged.

But I believe this trial and the silence around it - & all the Kremlin's men - has revealed something profoundly rotten at the heart of the British state.

Britain actually gets the lowest number of asylum applicants per capita of all these countries in Europe

@NeilDotObrien You are a public servant. Do and be better than this populist nonsense. Otherwise resign and stop wasting taxpayers' money.
