@annettedittert Shame there’s no one to pick it 😂

Surely only accepting an older persons bus pass, and not a student bus or rail pass is pure #Ageism? 🤬 #VoterID #ToryAgeism #ToryChaos #Disenfranchisement
Voter ID: ‘It’s Far Worse than Any US State’ – Byline Times https://t.co/jfTe6FYb3B

@Dominic2306 @elonmusk Thats how the Ordnance Survey caught companies using their maps - they added a fake street! So its not like government have never done this, its more that they are stripping out the people who would deal with regulations and breaches to further extreme libertarian agendas.

Voter ID is to stop the young and oppressed from voting. Heres why the older generation vote is so important to the #ToryBullies

[Electoral Reform Society @electoralreform]

The government have finally published the list of ID they will allow you to use to vote - six of the Government-accepted IDs are specifically targeted at older people, while almost none are aimed at younger people. https://t.co/NENwFDJu24

Extremely concerning. Please share widely.

Genuine question. Why is #Hancock sacked for taking a paid job abroad during parliament, but #BorisJohnson isn’t despite being a repeat offender? #awol #ToryCorruption #Corruption

Im not saying that the UK has ended up #shit under the #ToryShambles , but the evidence is accumulating in a rather obvious manner in some cases. #crap #Sewage #environment #TorySewageParty

I genuinely can’t believe the rudeness of of language and dismissal of millions of peoples concerns… extraordinary 😳

[The Working Group @UKWorkingGroup]

@LeftieStats I thought you might be able to confirm?

[The Working Group @UKWorkingGroup]

Interesting question, is Penny Mourdant the only MP to have served as a minister under all five Tory PMs? Assuming she gets a role today

Grant Shapps is close, but didn't serve under May, and Gove comes close, but didn't serve under Truss

@feliciaday No we want a #GeneralElectionNow

[The Working Group @UKWorkingGroup]

During this parliamentary term we will have seen:

The UK leaving the EU
A global pandemic with 190,000 deaths
3 Prime Ministers and 5 Chancellors
The first death of a monarch in 70 years
War in Europe for the first time in decades

Surely the 2019 mandate has run out?

An interesting comment on how the #tory government pushed it that step too far for even their own: In Britain today it seems your suffering only counts if you have a mortgage https://t.co/Tknfc5gIHn

A wonderful thread attempting to explain the #torychaos today over #Fracking . #trussterfuck #electionnow

[John Bull @garius]

I appreciate not everyone is a massive nerd. So I'm going to attempt to explain what just happened in parliament.

Because it is BEYOND batshit levels of foot-shooting by Team Truss. /1

[The Working Group @UKWorkingGroup]

a) why would she be sacked for this when nobody else has, but
b) why mention this is this isn't the reason she's been sacked?

The Tories are a very odd bunch.

[The Working Group @UKWorkingGroup]

This letter is so odd.

She's first admitting she broke ministerial rules by using a personal email account to discuss confidential government matters, but then claiming she is "concerned about the direction of government".

[Suella Braverman @SuellaBraverman]

My letter to the Prime Minister.

[The Working Group @UKWorkingGroup]

Countless ministers in the Johnson government stayed in office for far less than using personal emails for government matters. And since we've seen no indication from Truss she's going to crack down harder on this, why would this be in the resignation letter?
