I’ve have negotiated with @metpoliceuk for 20 years over @STWuk demos. They are very sensitive to what is and isn’t popular. They know the feeling over #SarahEverardvigil is huge. So why #claphamcommon attack? Ordered from highest places. Looking at you @pritipatel

A staggering £2.3bn for Ukraine weapons last year, same this year, not to bring peace but to promote war. But when it comes to #paynurses or #fundnhs the cupboard is bare. @UKLabour should be shouting this from rooftops not colluding with #Sunak and #Johnson @STWuk
