I think that whenever an MP jumps ship, there should be an automatic recall petition, particularly when it happens so soon after they were elected, because people aren’t getting what they voted for.
It’s cheating.
Hi Rachel Johnson
The shortage of water treatment chemicals that contributed to the release of sewage into our waterways was not because of the strike at Felixstowe.
Effluent was released last week, the strike started today.
Facts matter.
@LBC
Someone needs to make a rogues gallery of those grinning, beered up thugs having an evening fight whilst little girls lie injured in hospital and families grieve.
If you employ them, sack them.
If you know them, shun them.
If they drink in your pub, kick them out.
If I’ve done my sums right, writing off £4.3b is like Sunak coming to your house and taking £65 from every man, woman and child and giving it to fraudsters.
I’ve seen more anger at Blair getting a knighthood than I have for any Tory b*stard buying themselves a seat in the Lords and a say in our governance.
Fascinating
What if the state pension was sufficient for older people to live on so they wouldn’t need to apply for pension credits and winter fuel allowances?
Just a thought.
Brexit voting pensioner on BBC News:
‘They started telling us what shape vegetables we can grow.’
It doesn’t have to be true, it only has to be believed.
From all I have read, Alison Rose was a big asset to NatWest and by default to us, as major shareholders.
That one insignificant man, with big support from the right wing media and the sitting govt, can force her out and cause shares to crash by 30%, is an issue for us all.

Kate Hoey saying that Brexit isn’t working because we haven’t had the right people leading in government.
Well you’ve had four brexit Prime Ministers and goodness knows how many brexit supporting ministers, how many cracks of the whip do you need?
The Susanna Reid interview is more important than people give it credit for and why he has avoided GMB for so long.
It will reach a passive audience that doesn’t engage in politics and whose social media interaction is family/friends based.
I think he made a big mistake.
I’ve heard Farage blame James O’Brien.
I’ve heard him talk about ‘genuine concerns’.
I’ve heard him say he needs extra security.
I’ve heard him talk a lot about himself.
I’ve heard him say he didn’t call for violence.
I have not heard him tell rioters to go home.
#FarageRiots
Has anybody noticed that brexiters have stopped talking about their perceived benefits of brexit?
All I hear now is that we must have 'it', we voted for 'it', 'it' is democratic. Whatever 'it' might be, is no longer of interest.
How Brexit was won:
They owned the press
Then they lied
They bought a referendum
Then they lied
They stole your data
Then they lied
They bought the DUP
Then they lied
They bought the opposition.
And remember that when the uplands are dark and barren, remainers are to blame.

Vote for Susan Hall on 2nd May to have a London administration on the side of motorists and stop Sadiq Khan’s pay per mile plan.
So much respect for this young european and her restraint after a farageiste manhandled her and tried to force her to wear the yellow vest of shame.
So little respect for the baying mob which meant she couldn't walk down Regent Street without police protection.

How bloody hard can it be for the government to say ‘Masks are mandatory on public transport, in shops and busy venues?’
You don’t need Plan B or any other nonsense.
Just announce it.
I keep seeing people decrying the government for issuing extreme heat warnings and suggesting people need to apply common sense.
The thing is, 52% of the nation voted for brexit so we can’t rely on common sense, can we?
Apparently Johnson is mesmerised by Carrie and that’s why everything is shit.
Can we not do this?
A woman didn’t make him like this, this is who he is and who he’s always been.
Jacob Rees Mogg is attempting to prevent Yvette Cooper's bill to extend A50 being heard, by calling for a parliamentary recess and asking HM not to sign her bill.
Such a man should be reminded of this every time he utters the word 'democracy'.
Back bench dictator.
If you don’t want lockdowns, this is what you do:
Wear a mask
Maintain hygiene
Keep away from people.
This is what you don’t do:
Follow conspiracy theorists and quacks
Chuck things at coppers/spit at coppers
March down the street telling people Covid is a hoax.

I’ll no longer be satisfied when Jonathan Gullis loses his seat at the next election.
I want him to be unemployable.
I want him to be held up as an object of ridicule.
I want people to point and laugh when they see him on the streets.
He brings out the absolute worst in me.
This picture tells a story.
No blinds at the window.
No books or pictures in the bookcase.
No laptop.
The landline not plugged in.
Yet they wheeled in a massive flag and a shiny new red box for the photo op.
It’s almost as if he knew it wouldn’t last.
Dear Boris Johnson
I had a Polish friend called Tony, walked out of a Russian Labour camp, dropped at Arnhem, fought at Monte Casino and spent the rest of his life in the Yorkshire coalfields. He died thinking he would be sent back.
He thought this country was his own, we all did
Four years ago today, the UK shot itself in the foot. Nobody could explain why we shot ourselves in the foot so we shot ourselves a few more times for good measure and forward we limp.
Rule Britannia!
Sounds like

has arrived.
That means he must earn 24K, speak excellent English and have a job offer.
We will call him George because Brits don’t do languages.

I don’t often post about the Labour Party but I want to say this.
Labour under Jeremy Corbyn didn’t win any elections, if you can’t win elections, you can’t make change and that is of no use to me.
I took a wander through brexity right wing twitter to see what is being said about the current crisis.
Brace yourselves, there’s more madness here than the devil himself could wish for.

Let’s not elevate Piers Morgan to the sainthood too soon. He’s saying some good things now but he is in part responsible for the government that we have.
If Brexit happens, it won't be because a young woman crowdfunded and played guitar, a bloke did a swear or I posted something on twitter that you don't like.
It will because the Bannon axis wants it, because we let extremism creep in and half the nation neither noticed nor cared.
Please can we stop shouting at ChangeUK.
Few people have done as much for the Remain cause as Chuka Umunna, Sarah Wollaston, Anna Soubry etc.
They deserve our respect.
The GFA matters, it belongs to us.
Mo Mowlam put her heart and soul into securing a fragile but long lasting peace for Northern Ireland,
@DanielJHannan
dismisses it in one short tweet.
Ask yourself what else our leaders would sacrifice on the altar of Brexit.

Because of the sheer volume of noisy fascists at the Cenotaph today, I saw numbers of older veterans, with medals and berets, turn away and not go to down to pay their respects.
I think that’s the worst part of this whole government supported debacle.
I see Liz Truss has inadvertently admitted that the UK was dangerously close to running out of paracetamol a few months ago.
They tried to keep that one from you.
'Let my people go.'
I am not your people,
@BorisJohnson
you are not my saviour.
I recommend a period of contemplation for you, 40 years in the political wilderness should do it.
#RevokeArticle50
I want the media to stop saying that children will miss out on six months of schooling. They will have missed one term, the six months includes at least 9 weeks of Easter holidays, half term and Summer holidays.
We need accurate reporting not exaggeration.
I pledge my absolute and total support to Leave Means Leave and will go back on the road to campaign.
Over the last few months, scores of people have stopped me in the street to ask: “When are you coming back?”
Well now you have your answer: I’m back.
As Mrs Mercer flips between feisty husband/boss defender and poor victim, and the Tory MPs rush to her aid, I thought I’d unpick one of those odd tweets, this one from

Jo Johnson is going to the House of Lords, nominated by his bro.
There’s nothing we can do to stop these people now.
This isn’t a democracy it’s a f*cking family business.
At a time of dangerous military tension, we need clever diplomats with knowledge and expertise.
Instead of that we’ve got the man occasionally know as Grant Shapps for Defence Secretary.
Rishi Sunak has accepted a £1,000 bet from Piers Morgan that deportation flights to Rwanda will be up and running before the General Election.
The full interview is due to be shown on the Piers Morgan Uncensored YouTube channel at 2pm and TalkTV at 8pm on Monday (5 February).
It’s nearly Thursday.
It’s been a long time coming.
You have one job and one job only.
Do not get complacent.
Do not stay home.
Do not assume it’s in the bag.

For the record, this is me:
I am not a Corbynite
I am not a LibDem
I do not like our party political system or the whip
I don’t think FPTP works in the UK
Above all, I think that we are better served by being a member of the EU, and will work to that aim, whatever it takes.
I’m going to say this one final time for those in the back row.
Lord Alli is not buying influence or access by giving gifts to the PM.
He is a peer, he already has access, his No. 10 pass was for a specific purpose which was achieved.
His donations are to secure a Labour govt.
I'm going to march on the 23rd. I'm more of a

Loads of people who don't like me will be going, they can just walk on by.
I'm going anyway.

Nissan has just announced that it is closing the night shift at its Sunderland plant.
Those poor people who will lose their jobs, the north east was sold a crock.
People died because of government inaction and now the economy is being wrecked.
If there was a General Election tomorrow, the Tories would win.
What’s wrong with people?
I thought I had accepted the inevitable on 12th December, turns out I’m really quite bitter.
Whether you were conned into voting for Brexit, ignorant or knew exactly what you were voting for, your vote caused harm to people I love.
So no, I don’t forgive you.
