@ZackPolanski My partner and I are in our 60s and will be voting Green in the next GE. Former 'lifelong' Labour voters. Never again.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

Starmer was elected last year because
1. Everyone hated the Tories
2. People assumed he would be competent
3. People assumed he had integrity

He is not competent
He lacks integrity

He also has no vision whatsoever

He also has supported & enabled a GENOCIDE

He’s AWFUL

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

I asked the Home Secretary how it feels to kick away the ladder and introduce anti-migrant policies endorsed by fascist Tommy Robinson?

She didn’t answer the question, calling it “beneath contempt”.

The only thing beneath contempt is her pound-shop Powellism. Shame on her and this Labour government.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

That was one of the most appalling statements ever made by a Labour Home Secretary.

Britain is abandoning the victims of war, environmental disaster and human rights abuses.

The government has turned its back on humanity - and future generations will suffer.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Stealing jewellery from refugees fleeing violence and persecution.

Echoing the darkest moments of Europe's past.

This Labour government is sick.

Don't vote for these monsters. Vote Green.

Congratulations, Shabana!

You've unlocked the much coveted Tommy Robinson endorsement!

As he notes, you're shifting the political conversation in the direction of the far right.

You must be so proud!

What an amazing achievement for a Labour politician!

Bad restart: May's new In-Justice Minister Dominic Raab claimed Foodbank users have "cash flow problem". Wrong, uncaring, clueless, ignorant

3. For good or ill, Britain has always been global. Much of the world does not thank us for it. Many lovers of the English language do.

[Jonathan Lis @jonlis1]

2. Idea of 'global Britain' feeds on post-colonial melancholia. It wilfully misunderstands Britain's past, present, and place in the world.

[Jonathan Lis @jonlis1]

1. Of all absurdities & myths in y'day's speech, the guff on #GlobalBritain was the most perniciously dishonest & intellectually incoherent.

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

I can hardly believe that the PM is now using the phrases and words that I've been mocked for using for years. Real progress.

@gsoh31 @TheStaggers Good. All assumptions on next #GE outcome assume no change: this prediction is seriously deranged. Huge changes soon...

@gsoh31 @TheStaggers
"Right now, the historical signs are very, very ominous indeed."

True: who predicted #Brexit? #Trump? No one.

Next?

[Torch Song @swallowourpride]

Government to privatise the #NHS in-house publicly-owned provider of agency staff.

The aim?
