@GavinBarwell He has a picture of a flag . He is good and right.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

What’s the correct name for someone who is paid public money to represent UK citizens in Parliament but instead chooses to go before a Congressional Hearing in the US to slag off the UK and urge Trump’s government to take action against us?

Sure Start centres generated £2 of financial benefits for every £1 spent, study finds https://t.co/mr7ydM0I1w

White flag? Unconditional surrender to the EU? Here are a bunch of ‘gets’ in return for some ‘gives’ which make us net better off . It’s called a deal. In no walk of life does anyone get 100% in a negotiation. Jacob, you are delusional- a disgrace to public life.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is an extraordinary leader. A man who has for three years been coping with his own ongoing trauma, whilst carrying the hopes and fears of his traumatised people, stays strong as he is shouted down by two bullies.

@Nigel_Farage It’s so hard to admit that you were wrong.

[John Glenn @thresholdweller]

I’m off. If anybody reads this, I hope that you have a creative, enjoyable rest of your life. Remember, love, and be loved in return.

@michaelwhite I’m sure that Mr Farage will be a key member of Mr Trump’s confidants in his mind.

@AliceStainer @OliverKamm I finished my late wife's eulogy with that paragraph. My daughter-in-law read it. The vicar had sensitively, and correctly, guided me away from doing it myself.

This says so much about the Daily Mail.

[The Purple Pimpernel @Eyeswideopen69]

Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger has endorsed Kamala Harris.

The 90% of Daily Mail readers who never get beyond the headline will never know this though.

The dad needs to know his place 🤣

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Whilst Chancellor Rachel Reeves turns to a forecast by Office for Budget Responsibility which predicts real GDP growth over the next 5 years she fails to point out the same report also says this

“Weak growth in imports and exports over the medium term partly reflect the continuing impact of Brexit, which we expect to reduce the overall trade intensity of the UK economy by 15% in the long term"

I think that’s important. RT if you do to

[John Glenn @thresholdweller]

Almost every day I hear a tragic story from a friend, relative or acquaintance about health and care services struggling to help the vulnerable. We all know that massive restructuring isn't happening because of lack of funding. Tax our estates to pay for it. #InheritanceTax

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Yes, the problem with this sort of question is that a few weeks back he was encouraging and facilitating far-right violence in the UK. Quite tough for No.10ro then be all friendly with him.

[John Harris @johnharris1969]

Here's K.Badenoch, who thinks an autism diagnosis entails "economic advantages and protections". She also queries providing school transport for autistic kids & has no idea what neurodiversity/divergence are, and why they have abs nothing to do with, say, anxiety. Pls retweet

@paullewismoney @gdavidb76 This is bollocks. My son lives in Amsterdam. If you include their health insurance premium, their tax rates are materially higher than those in the U.K. £ for £. The flip side is that the infrastructure largely functions effectively, and the two things are closely linked.

[Robert Ford @robfordmancs]

Somehow Con MPs have managed to (a) eliminate the candidate with the clearest appeal to swing voters the party needs (Cleverly) and (b) ensure that whoever wins the members ballot starts without the support of most MPs.

@nialljclarke @Adrian_Hilton @ProfDHayes @igsdurham Perhaps because we had 9 of them between 2015 and the last election - but hey, education isn't that important. Secretary of State for Education - Wikipedia

@KirstieMAllsopp VAT is applied to most things eg if a pensioner needs repairs to their boiler, VAT would be applied. Why shouldn’t it be applied to school fees?
