There's so much unnecessary #cruelty & harm coming from @Conservatives & their RW extremist supporters am listening to this at least once a day as an antidote to it all. It gives hope for a better future b/c most of us are #smart ppl

👏👏👏 & 🙏 @GovPritzker for the inspiration

Please listen to this speech by @GovPritzker. It perfectly explains both the cruelty and stupidity of the people now ruling Brexit Britain.

“Whilst working for the Government, I introduced a policy that made the wife millions and got away with it by using the word ‘inadvertently’

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

If you are worried about

Benefit Fraud £0.5bn but not Government Corruption £58bn.

Or immigration £2bn but not Tax Havens £150bn.

Or NHS potential pay rises £3bn but not Bankers tax cuts £7.3bn.

You are buying their lies.

Let that sink in: A single market where 450 million people are free to study, live, shop, work and retire and enjoy products from all over Europe.

A global champion worth €14.5 trillion, empowering 23 million businesses to move and trade. - We left 🤔 👇

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

The Single Market is Europe's crown jewel.

A market where 450 million people are free to study, live, shop, work and retire and enjoy products from all over Europe.

A global champion worth €14.5 trillion, empowering 23 million businesses to move and trade ⬇

@alanjstedman @PeterStefanovi2 @DavidRothwellis He was probably 'inadvertent' in a 'limited & specific' way so that's all fine ... Nothing to see here, no, nothing at all

I use braille everyday, from work to reading to my kids.

My 7 year old has been learning braille so that he can leave secret messages for me.

We are definitely a Lego family & now
with the introduction of Lego Braille Bricks, he’s learning braille whilst playing 😃

The Tories have drained Britain's coffers like a herd of thirsty elephants around a watering hole.

Public debt is over 2.5x what it was when Labour left office. So if there was "no money left" then, what does that say about our current situation?

But Tory cronies did very well!

[Dedicated Cynic 🤨🇺🇦 @vhb49]

In what walk of life is 'ignorance' or forgetfulness a valid defence? But he's not ignorant: he's been an MP & Minister long enough to know the rules... That leaves inly one conclusion & the need for YET ANOTHER breach to be swept under the carpet... #NolanPrinciples? Meh! 🤬

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

Rishi Sunak ‘inadvertently’ breached parliament’s code of conduct by failing to properly declare his wife’s shareholding in a childcare company which stood to benefit from new government policy, says watchdog. No further action https://t.co/ljasvZsBvg

The elephant is still in the room and shows no sign of being noticed by Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves or anyone else in the Labour Party.

Brexit doesn’t work.
Brexit cannot work.

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

Everyone, when the Tories use the word 'Free', it means the opposite of what most people associate, it means private, it means charter, it means deregulation, it means beyond big Govt, it means destroying the public sector, it means far-right libertarian. 👇🏻

[Dedicated Cynic 🤨🇺🇦 @vhb49]

@SimplyRedHQ Yes indeed. Along w/ its close relation monetisation things are teetering on a cliff edge for most ordinary folks ... 😟 #Trapped

Is Starmer being bold enough in the changes necessary to solve a Broken Britain?

[Joe Oakley 🏳️‍🌈 @JRLOakley]

“Not for EU”… because it doesn’t meet EU food standards, due to the UK Tories agreeing to lower our food standards for CPTPP.

Remember when they said we’d have BETTER standards than the EU if we left?

@MAT70X @andrewhesselden Marked 📈 tho & some seem to have quite a following, previously made sensible observations 🤔

Happy to see Ireland doing well tho - showing how #EUMembership has lots of advantages 👍 Can hardly blame ppl for wanting to keep their #BrexitBenefits: at least they have some!?! ��‍♂️

[Dedicated Cynic 🤨🇺🇦 @vhb49]

A lot of seemingly Irish tweeters being negative about UK #Rejoin prospects & Andrew's right, it is getting obvious 🙄

Ireland via Moscow? With some maybe but 🇬🇧 out of #EU has boosted the economy of the island of Ireland no end, been the biggest winners... 🤷‍♂️

[Andrew Hesselden @andrewhesselden]

More depressing rubbish. This is really obvious now.

@desertrose1969 Your lad looks lovely and with that smile, he must light up every room he's in 👍

No idea who this Forman is but he needs to 'do one' & take his nastiness w/ him, back to the rock he clearly crawled out from under 😠

[Dedicated Cynic 🤨🇺🇦 @vhb49]

@RachelReevesMP Great graphic 👍

Have you got one that shows how, under a new @UKLabour government, in SM/CU vs out would look? Have a sneaking suspicion it would be mighty similar ... The 'in' would be on the right obvs so 🤔

#RejoinEU is the only way to sustainable growth: we all know it 🤷‍♂️

[Dedicated Cynic 🤨🇺🇦 @vhb49]

@RachelReevesMP So working hard to #RejoinEU SM & CU essential then, or at least align to it? #Brexit deal Tories got through Parliament ERECTED trade barriers so logically, if you're serious, this needs immediate reversal, no? Or will #Labour look at the furthest flung markets too? 🤨

[Dedicated Cynic 🤨🇺🇦 @vhb49]

This is horrifying 😟 #StopChildPoverty
