@thomasjmw Exactly right!
I’m so sick the condescending tone they take about MPs who were children from poverty, like it’s a badge of honour, and also an excuse….they’ve become detached from reality I’m afraid.
@Katie_Lam_MP@AllisonPearson Just another example of the fact that they haven’t got a clue what they’re doing, don’t follow any protocols at all….ir if you are more cynical, you might think they were trying to hide it 🤔
So today I thought I would take experts advice, and close all the curtains and blinds, and shut the windows to keep the heat out of the house…
Guess what?
ITS STILL LIKE A FURNACE IN HERE! #heatwave
@annaturley I come from a VERY humble, but very hardworking (for very little gain) beginnings….
I don’t know anyone in my family who would sneer at people “doing well” and sending their children to private schools.
This really is a strange Labour ideology
The UK has hit 35°C+ in 18 different years on record.
In 1976, it hit 35°C+ for five consecutive days.
So yes, it gets hot sometimes.
But can we all calm down a bit… and also get rid of the doom maps?
Just for context here are some facts about the heatwave of 1976;
It lasted from mid June to late August
For 15 consecutive days from 23rd June to 7th July temperatures exceeded 32.2C everywhere
The hottest day on 3rd July reached 35.9C in Cheltenham
Calm the fuck down 🌞🌞🌞🌞
@bphillipsonMP@DavidLammy Stop using your “working class” label as if it somehow makes you more interesting and important…it’s highly patronising to us “working classes” it might work with your champagne socialists, but not in the real world.
@annaturley@bphillipsonMP SO sick of the Labour Party using examples of children from working class/poverty “done good” who are now MPs…have you any idea how patronising it is?
You don’t feel a need to mention privileged backgrounds… you in the Westminster bubble just don’t get it!
Why do the Liberal Democrats keep #EdDavey as their leader?
He literally only says two things..
Trump
EU
Just nothing that is relevant to this country!

@DavidLammy “Restored trust” give us a break! 😂
The man couldn’t lie straight in bed…
I can’t make my mind up if you are all just gaslighting us on an industrial scale (failing)
Or you are all completely delusional, not sure which is worse!
Just to remind these same folk:
You’ve not lifted 1/2m kids out of poverty. You’ve just moved them over a bureaucratic line on a Whitehall spreadsheet.
Your ‘workers rights’ are destroying entry-level jobs, hitting young people disproportionately, where unemployment is now over 16%.
You have not transformed the NHS. It’s still the same old wheezing leviathan, just with a lot more dosh and still dismal productivity.
And you’ve nationalised steel and rail before. It was not the prelude to an economic or industrial miracle. Plus you will now have to include their demands for capital/subsidies among all the other priorities already crowding in on the public purse.
Other than that your reminder was useful. Thank you.
