@BladeoftheS @Anna231A Gutter too good for him imho

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Sir Lindsay Soon to be Lord Hoyle, said ‘Nooooooo you can’t abolish the House of Lords, it’s mine for being a Tory.’

RT if you would like to see the House of Lords abolished and that lickspittle Hoyle kicked into the gutter where he belongs.

It's rare that I have anything positive to say about @BBCr4today, but Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe meets Andy Murray is the content I'm here for 💗

[jo backhouse @wrywords]

@Sika_dm Not to mention the responsibility of employers to pay their staff properly. And the responsibility of the government to ensure its citizens aren't living in poverty...

If a General Strike is the only way to get rid of these horrible bastards then let have one.

God i hate this government 😤

[jo backhouse @wrywords]

@elizabeth_delo How do Murdoch and the tories live with themselves given how many deaths they've caused over the past 12 years?

[jo backhouse @wrywords]

@JamesMills1984 And Nick Robinson saying words to the effect of 'better off people could see what his songs were talking about' - ie him and his Oxbridge chums in between bouts of burning £20 notes in front of homeless people... 🤮

@DavidHammersle2 @13sarahmurphy Can we throw Clarkson in too?

@TUMADRECONHO @RogerMerry1 @13sarahmurphy Their own wealth and power.

[jo backhouse @wrywords]

@RogerMerry1 @13sarahmurphy You're suggesting Murdoch and his billionaire cronies are Marxists then, since that's exactly what their "newspapers" do.

[sarah murphy @13sarahmurphy]

Honestly, if this country could get rid of this Tory party and The Sun, it would immediately be a happier, more successful, more progressive place. They are both agents of ignorance and social decay, whipping up hatred and fear, trashing our credibility, shaming and ruining us.

[jo backhouse @wrywords]

@DanielaNadj Yes indeed. Yet Kuensberg apparently didn't even ask the Sun editor about this.

@BernardineEvari @JohnBishop100 He's a sad old irrelevant git. Sadly that's what white middle-England seems to love.

[jo backhouse @wrywords]

Absolutely this. No wonder Harry and Megan got out of a country where this shit counts as acceptable.

[Bernardine Evaristo @BernardineEvari]

Surely this is hate speech. It's so deeply misogynistic and as @JohnBishop100 says, 'a blatant appeal to incite humiliation and violence on a woman'. Complaints to the Independent Press Standards Organisation - [email protected].

This is why teachers are voting to strike.

Jon says that after too many years of under investment in schools and teachers, it's time to act. Make sure you have voted in our postal ballot on pay.

Get your ballot in the post box TODAY.

[jo backhouse @wrywords]

@BBCWomansHour I support nurses instinctively AND intellectually/rationally/morally. Ditto the railworkers and others taking the only course they have: to strike.
Enough of this cruel, chaotic, useless Tory government!
