I stopped using twitter a while ago and started on threads. But now I’m using https://t.co/clx4fzaiuB X is dying and I look forward to its reading about its demise on Bluesky. 🦋

The Daily Mail has started a campaign to get books banned in schools.

If you would rather see The Daily Mail banned from the UK, give this a RT.

What an absolute disgrace....

This Tory govt is now scorching the earth in its greed and thirst for cruelty and power.

Esther McVey is Minister for Whatever

And they scrap the post of Minister for Disabled People?

Shameful

Oh dearie me -@piersmorgan seems to have forgotten about the several inquiries, including with evidence given on oath, which cleared me of lying or any other wrongdoing in relation to Iraq (an issue which was not, so far as I am aware, part of his never ending beef with Harry)1/4

Not just £300m for Rwanda with no asylum seekers sent, under Rishi Sunak’s plan

Home Secretary confirms more payments to Rwanda in 2025 & 2026

Seems it’s now more like £400m taxpayers money

Govt is not just sending cheques, they’ve set up a direct debit

Total Tory chaos

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

House Republicans want to leave town without passing critical funding for Israel and Ukraine.

On our border, you can't say there's a crisis, then say you want to leave for three weeks.

The ball is in their court.

I’m doing my job. Republicans on the Hill should do theirs.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

There's an MP called, I think, Nick Fletcher, who gave a speech in this debate so completely devoid of understanding, humanity & intelligence that you wonder how he ties his own shoe laces unaided.
This is the polar opposite.

[Rory Bremner 💙🇺🇦 @rorybremner]

FFS. There are now at least SIX Tory Parties. ERG, NRG, Common Sense Group(!), New Conservatives, Conservative Growth Group, One Nation Group, & the People’s Front of Judea. And policy is being made up simply to keep them happy. Wouldn’t it be better to send THEM to Rwanda?

[A C Grayling #FBPE #Reform #Rejoin #FBPR @acgrayling]

He lied to Parliament, to the Covid enquiry, to us. He has hidden evidence. He should be prosecuted.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

The petty posturing & self-serving internecine warfare, over an objectively obnoxious policy, is incredibly ugly. The country is in turmoil on so many fronts & these ghouls care only about themselves.

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

So did you or did you not lobby ministers and civil service for your own financial interests, which would be a clear breach of parliamentary rules?

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

Jonathan hasn’t read the new guidelines….or, should I say, had someone read them to him?

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

build reception centres that won’t get used. And then they came for our sovereignty. Sunak is very very bad at politics. Braverman is just very very bad. And a Parliament that finds out this way the true cost of this farce needs to be changed. Just call the bloody election 4/4

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

So the government has spent an extra £100m on the Rwanda gimmick and didn’t bother to tell Parliament or the public when the third Rwanda Home Secretary went off on his treaty signing day trip the other day. We are now on £240m - £80m per Home Secretary. And not a single 1/4

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

I have repeatedly complained about Russian interference in British politics, only to be told repeatedly by Tory ministers that they’ve seen no such thing. Today, they finally admit that I was right. We’re not safe in their hands.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Twitter is dead.

Threads is now what Twitter was ten years ago—but with a free “edit” button and fewer trolls.

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

Can’t they hear themselves?

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

This is so dangerous and irresponsible. When parliamentarians - law makers, for goodness sake - say ‘ignore the law’ and that judges are ‘enemies of the people’ you are on a very slippery slope. We saw how that ended in the US on Jan 6

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

There’s not a single grown-up among them, is there? It’s government by the smallest, pettiest, thickest individuals our country has had the misfortune to produce.

[Jessica Simor KC @JMPSimor]

For which @RishiSunak should sack him.
