@WulfrunianChris
Just love her for her daftness
Cherish every memory
My mum used to do Boxing Day tea every year and every year she left the Black Forest gateau in the freezer too long and we sucked the frozen middle bit 😊
She died 2 years ago
I wish I was having frozen gateau tonight 😊
@implausibleblog
I thought your discussion between your GP and yourself was confidential?
Now you are going to have to disclose all this to a “trained specialist” working for a company that has agreed KPIs with the Govt where payment will be based on numbers they get back into work
Hmmm 🤔
@implausibleblog
I want to make sure that they get panel members at the same frequency as MPs
I don’t want to see a Reform gobshite every week when they only have 5 MPs
Lib-Dems and Greens need a voice too
@Wokewaster
@reformparty_uk
They will also create an insurance based healthcare system
Ask any American what they think about that before voting for them
@AidanCTweets
The government should not be inviting JKR to meet them
She is just a person with a view like anyone else
I hope the Government is also going to invite me to get my views too
@SaulStaniforth
We saw something similar up here in the Yorkshire coalfields during the Miners Strike. Free movement around the County was impossible
3 things were the same:-
Conservative Government
Metropolitan police
Media collusion
@GyllKing
Their parents can do what a Minister told the working poor to do when inflation was ripping through family budgets - get another job. Or work more hours
Or ask their grandparents for more money 😊
@itvnews
You are not telling the truth with this headline
Boxing Day trains have not run in England with most operators for years
It has nothing to do with strikes. Please correct or withdraw this tweet

Did you see the construction site for the A1-A14 link road or the building site that’s the A1 around Newcastle

We were bought by an American company about 6 years ago and when they came over to see the management team, they were amazed we didn’t own or carry guns and neither did most of our police
@Iron4paws
@The_TUC
That’s not fair on the Government
They are doing something, they are blaming the Unions for being greedy for asking for a decent pay rise and inconveniencing everyone by striking

If Nathan wants to vote by post he has every right to do so

@GarethDennis
Same in supermarkets. They deliberately put only one member of staff on the checkouts, causing long queues and forcing people to use the ever increasing number of self checkouts
Royal Mail are now encouraging you not to use Post Offices too
Real jobs and real interactions 👍
@afneil
Private Equity companies have no interest in the company they invest in except to maximise return on their investment
So it’s a short term view. Exactly the opposite of what we need in a Utility Company
Where was the 🤬 Regulator when all this was going on? 😡
@BobGeor27574923
When you’ve unlimited wealth and power it’s probably a great place to live
But if you’re trying to educate your kids
Or
Get care for an elderly relative
Or
Feed and heat the family
Or
Find a dentist
Or
Get a health issue sorted
It’s not such a great place to be at the moment
@AngelaRayner
These sorts of things happen in the “heat of the moment “. The Country was occupied with other things. There’s nothing to see here, move along. Did you see the photo of Boris without a mask? Now that is something to discuss at length

Presumably when they close the ticket office the waiting rooms will also close?

She knew there were doubts about the software
In her position she could have stopped it instantly and required a thorough investigation
She had the power and authority to do that
Sho could have done that
But she chose not to
No one else had that much authority

@RussInCheshire
It’s the Tory mantra of “Trickle down”
Fooling people into believing we must pay those at the top handsomely and they in turn will reward those below them
They’ve said it for 12 years & still the working classes keep voting for them
And the gap between rich and poor has widened
@afneil
Shame. I enjoyed the Show Andrew and it’s predecessor on BBC1 - This Week. It was the only reason I watched QT. When This Week finished, I stopped watching QT
@The_TUC
Weren’t this Government outraged a few weeks ago when P&O Ferries did just that? Replace skilled workers with Agency workers? Now it seems it’s ok to do that. I wish they’d make their minds up!!
@lib_thinks
They had better put a photo of him in their home because it will be the last time they see him
He’ll be off to Westminster with his other 3 racists causing trouble and getting more media air time than his Party deserves
The Green Party should get more airtime but won’t
@JasonPedlow
We’ve seen it since Maggie took on the miners, there’s always an unlimited amount of money to pay for their pet projects but no money to make ordinary people’s lives better

Deborah, she is my MP and I have written to her today to ask her to:-
a) confirm if the photograph is real
b) explain the reasons for her actions
I will let you know what she has to say. Devon

@nameismathyou
Most of our train companies are owned by European train companies (which are still nationalised). So you are paying a high fare so the German or Dutch Railways can offer their passengers cheap fares. 😊. Same for water and electricity. Privatisation don’t ya just love it?
@AldiUK
@ShnizzleShaz
Did someone die as a result? No? Well just take them back to the Store and they will sort it and stop being so dramatic about it 😡
@GyllKing
Same for privatising Telecom, gas, electricity and water
The Tory Govt played on people’s greed
They sold a few shares to the public who made a few £’s profit while releasing millions of shares to their mates
30 years later we’re now being ripped off by those same companies 🤬
@implausibleblog
They can work in those 40 new hospitals alongside the 10,000 extra nurses with those 150,000 extra dentists !!
What??
Well they started it with their silly promises
@RichardBurgon
I hope you didn’t print out the petition Richard otherwise you can add wasting paper to wasting your time
They’re not listening
They’re going to max out the Country’s Credit Cards and get slung out in 2024 leaving Labour with no money to do anything with and a big overdraft
@LKTranslator
@RickyDHale
Like Arriva West Yorkshire who let a strike go on for weeks affecting 1,000’s of their customers and losing their staff £100’s in lost wages before offering a rise that settled the dispute
It’s like playing poker with employees and customers
Who folds first 😡
@andreajenkyns
Simple answer Andrea. Tory underfunding for 14 years
Your lot do it everywhere; you have consistently underfunded Councils now for years and then demand they provide increased levels of social care brought about by your vindictive policies against the poor
Not long now though 🕰️
@DeborahMeaden
So,
Energy crisis? - buy a new kettle and put tinfoil behind your radiators
Ok
Climate emergency? - reusable cups
Ok
Genius. I wish I was as clever as these people
What about transport?
- Walk
We’re already doing that as the public transport system up here has collapsed
@LouHaigh
@CrossCountryUK
I understand why you want to keep publicising the failings of the rail industry
But we travellers know all this, we experience it every day
But what is your Plan?
HS2a? NPR? Rolling plan for electrification?
Buy new rolling stock directly and avoid the ROSCOs
Just tell us!!
@RunsOnRails
Great idea Shapps!! Let them manage the signalling centres or dispatch the train. While you’re at it let them have a go at driving trains too. Red = stop. Green = go. How hard can it be? Hang on who was up in arms recently when P&O replaced skilled seamen with Agency staff? 😡😡
@RhonddaBryant
It’s like those MPs who spend a week living on Benefits to prove it can be done
Unless you’ve actually grown up in a family or raised a family on benefits or a low income you have no idea (or right) to claim you know what it’s like
@CharlotteCGill
Grow up
The last lot took us out of Europe and wiped 4% off GDP at a stroke
They stripped the NHS and Councils of £bn’s while giving their mates and supporters VIP access to POE contracts and then Liz Truss crashed the economy and landed us with £30bn of debt
@JackKessler1
And that effect would be seen across the Country if the Government spent money on transport projects to benefit everyone and not just London 😡
How long before they start saying they need Crossrail 2?
And to think that useless organisation called BR wanted to build Crossrail 🤦♀️
@chilternrailway
I love the assumption that someone who is going to evade paying will look at the sticker on the floor and then think “oh, better buy a ticket”
Is there any evidence that this sort of thing changes the mind of those determined to avoid paying?
@little_mavis
They interviewed a cafe owner in Truss’s conyand she said she’d always voted Tory except this time. She didn’t trust them and they’d failed to deliver so she’d voted Reform!!
🤦♀️ Does she not understand who that bunch of spivs really stand for?
😊
@Eyeswideopen69
A “do gooder” will have reported it to Social Services and they will have had to act. If not, & (heaven forbid), anything happened to him, the “do gooder” would have been onto the Media who would blame Social Services
Good luck to the young man, he’ll come home a better person👍
@qecollective
@Peston
Journalists have been lazy for months, they ask a question, let the politicians spouttwaddle and move on to the next question
They don’t challenge the answer, they have no facts ready to counter what’s just been said
They just seem intent on asking as many questions as possible
@implausibleblog
What’s another £1.6bn?
Add it to the £bn’s wasted on PPE and Test & Trace etc
It’s not their money so why should they worry
Spaff a bit more, we’ve plenty more where that came from
NHS? GPs?, schools?, Social Care?, public transport? Oh no!! Financial prudence needed there 😡🤬
@WhatTheTrans
And these guys will be forced into womens “safe spaces” then
How long before all those predatory males looking for opportunities to attack women realise they don’t need to buy a dress to attack women, they can just stroll in to their toilets and say “I’m a trans male” 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

Whenever I see a Government representative on tv or radio I think “I’m a hardworking British tax payer and I’m sick to the back teeth funding them and their mates who are ripping us off by syphoning £bn’s into their own bank accounts”
@Joannechocolat
The whole PMQ thing is an embarrassment to this Country. It’s not debate with opinions and views listened to and alternatives set out. It’s boorish people yelling at each other with attempted humour that would make most comedians cringe. What an example to set young people 😢

@jessphillips
Other Countries have built a High speed network- we can’t build one line
Other countries have better health care..
Lower energy costs ..
No food shortages ..
Decent rental accommodation ..
There’s a theme here
14 years of a corrupt, lying self-serving Tory Government perhaps?
@clairebubblepop
14 years of Tories cutting investment in the NHS (and everything else), while lying to the electorate - anyone seen those 40 new hospitals? And simultaneously filling their mates and supporters pockets with cash
There wasn’t a wait like that 15 years ago

I did the same thing a couple of months ago when I tried to explain I get no problems from Cis women when I’m in the ladies loos

Sadly he inherited wealth and has made more over the last 14 years so he won’t be troubled by it
Being an MP was just an amuse-bouche for him
@LouHaigh
Strange isn’t it that when the Rail Unions strike, the media are all over them accusing them of stopping students getting to school, old ladies getting to hospital etc.
But not a word about the privatised bus companies cutting off communities?
How odd? 🤷♀️

People have been saying that the system needs reforming since I first voted (I’m now 63!). Who can change it? Those in power or opposition who like the current system when they are in power. Result - No Change. And there never will be until Labour accept it
@RichardJMurphy
It seems to be predicted to rise almost daily. It was about £6k on the radio this morning. Where / when will it end?
Shall I just ask my employer to pay my salary directly to my energy provider?
What happens when that isn’t enough? Do I have to go and do evening work with them?
