Please play to your kids, and those so wrapped up in bashing Britain they can’t see the wood for the trees 🇬🇧

[Simon Baldwin @spcb]

@LiamHalligan The way things were!

Insane.

@hughlaurie @AllisonPearson @jan_murray Soupytwist.

That’s the only retort required.

@DanielPriestley I attended a meeting in 2018 that included many high level public servants in Scotland.

One spoke of the problem: ‘the blancmange’ - the massive, static middle tier of local government afraid, unwilling or unable to take decisions.

Inaction in the preferred outcome.

@magattew 100%

And all should read Tim Marshall’s ‘Prisoners of Geography’ … it explains so much as to why some places can thrive and others will never be prosperous by comparison.

@DouglasCarswell Blackout until your 16th birthday but then you know enough to vote.

Jes’ … our so-called leaders are a joke.

@MarkMcLaugh1in @hardlyperennial @JohnSwinney He doesn’t like being challenged.
I’d suggest he needs to get used to it.

Systems failed.
Leadership failed.
Just own it.

She’s brilliant.

@DalgetySusan Mention the book … mention the book … mention the book …

The worst politicians are grifters.

@kevinnbass BBC News is tin eared.
I look forward to the day when they are defunded.
Shame on them.

[Simon Baldwin @spcb]

@PatrickChristys @GeorgeHQ_X Utterly risible.

They dragged a dying man across gravel and cuffed him.

There was zero care.
Zero humanity.
Zero.

RIP Henry.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I want the world to hear what we heard.

[Simon Baldwin @spcb]

@RupertLowe10 Dear God.

How can ANY politician or official within a million miles of this abhorrence not act?

It is to our shame that so-called leaders have been deaf, dumb and blind to the abuse of children.

God help them.

[Liam Halligan @LiamHalligan]

Conventional wisdom says that leaving the European Union has harmed the British economy.

Listen to almost any Brexit debate – over the airwaves or on the professional conference circuit – and it’s invariably taken for granted being outside the EU has done serious economic damage.

Now we're in June, and as the 23rd approaches – the ten-year anniversary of that hotly-contested, era-defining referendum – this message will be rammed home again and again.

But it simply isn’t true.
