@Mike_Fabricant This is only partly true. The fingerprinting etc is because we’re non EU. EU non-Schengen don’t have this

@northernassist @networkrail Thank you. You repeatedly send two carriages for this Saturday daytime service which are always standing room only and tightly packed

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

penned in like cattle on delayed 1309 from Bromley Cross. Told by conductor to wait for next one if cannot cram on. You’ve cancelled every other train today so it’s now hourly service. And you still send only two carriages. Absolutely disgraceful @northernassist @networkrail

@IainDale @SimonMarksFSN Sorry to hear this. Get better soon!

Life comes at you fast.

@JamesMelville BBC. No adverts

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

@David__Osland Absolutely right. The Winter of Discontent lasted a few weeks of 1979. The power cuts were limited to a few weeks of 1972 and 1974. Inflation was around 25%, at certain points, such as in 1975. The idea the whole decade was a write off is a myth.

@RyanShorthouse @TorstenBell So, protect the triple lock, which costs the taxpayer hundreds of billions, and make working age people work longer to pay for it. Doesn’t seem quite fair

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

@IainDale So sorry and thoughts and best wishes to you and her family

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Clarification: Sky News was not at the property at 7.41am. As has already been acknowledged, and as shown in the footage from 10.19am, Sky News was outside a property where Mr Farage was registered to vote at the last election. Sky News did not interact with Mr Farage’s daughter.

On a single occasion, we approached the property without a camera operator, identified ourselves as Sky News, and the adult occupant chose not to engage. We were seeking to contact Mr Farage to ask questions about the gift he accepted from Mr Cottrell. This is a well-established and routine journalistic practice when reporting on matters of legitimate public interest.

The footage clearly demonstrates that Sky News did not “hound” or pursue Mr Farage’s daughter. At no stage did we seek to speak to anyone other than Mr Farage in connection with this story.

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too.

It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer.

I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

@IainDale @BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire Why would he allow himself to be portrayed as taking the seat for granted by going into detail about fiscal rules and other plans?

Just saying @JDVance

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

@afneil Lazy analysis. ‘History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it’. Were there economic and industrial problems? Yes. But the idea that Thatcher came along and saved us all is nonsense.

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

@IainDale @KemiBadenoch Read her ‘alternative King’s Speech’. Scarily right wing.

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

@northernassist On a busy Saturday afternoon service from Bromley Cross to Manchester Victoria. The 1339. Every week it’s packed but you always only send two carriages, so people have to stand awkwardly. #rail

@piersmorgan @_DeclanRice Player of the year not team, Piers.

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

@NeilDotObrien Almost as if we should have avoided these things by not calling a referendum on the issue

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

@kevinhollinrake So do you rule out doing deals with Reform to put them into power locally or nationally?

[Yilmaz Mamedy @ymamedy]

@Conservatives @KemiBadenoch Quoting the Telegraph is like the Soviet Union quoting Pravda
