2,600 food banks, and a man who lives in a 700-room palace, and who avoiding paying hundreds of million in inheritance tax, stands there doing his best virtue signalling pose. Pathetic.

I had an ex-girlfriend who had a stroke, but every time she talked about it she’d refer to her “archery” and not her artery. I really wanted to correct her, but didn’t have the nerve.
@SimonClarkeMP
Simon, that’s utter nonsense and you know it. Such notes are a tradition which party did its best to make political out of. You’ve had nearly 13 years to address the state of the economy - you’ve managed to triple the national debt. Own it. Congratulations on an appalling job.

According to rumours, she’s destined for the Lords. A very good reason right there to close down the ridiculous unelected chamber.
Policing Minister Chris Philp defends the Met on the grounds that a lot of protesters *weren't* arrested.
No one ever talks about the people Shipman didn’t kill.
@DouglasKMurray
I wonder if the Tories have any idea how much the British people despise them for their staggeringly inept rail privatisation? We need renationalisation. Sooner the better.

40% of benefit claimants are in work. The DWP has suppressed nine reports into its treatment of claimants. Wonder what they’ve got to hide?
@MarkACollett
And how many people struggled to get by while the establishment bled the country dry? How many children lived in absolute poverty? Nostalgic wank.
@EsheruKwaku
I doubt there’s a D Notice in place, but when I submitted an FOI request, I was told my question was too vague. It was “why is Charlotte Owen sitting in the unelected House of Lords?”
@AdamBienkov
As a mate said: “I had to switch off the Truss interview with Laura Kuenssberg. It was like watching someone trying to get an unhoused, broken child to admit that the smell was coming from their pants. She boils my piss.”
@JackieD86388657
Why? He’s a former hedge funder who has no idea about how the other half live, and has an appalling voting record. You should love him.
@danwootton
Let me correct you. “…facing economic calamity because of decisions made over the last 12+ years that have led to untold misery for millions and the doubling of wealth for the rich.”
@danwootton
Hard left? So not “centrist” or “liberal” but actually hard left? You see, it’s tweets like that that make you look ridiculous. And of course you’ve missed out the bit about how it’s run by Tories.
@LordIanAustin

@JohnRentoul
It was also clear that Boris Johnson was a truly abysmal PM, but you still supported him. Why? To get a cushy seat in an unelected chamber?

@PatrickChristys
Tax cuts for the rich, more money for bankers, ensuring massive profits for the energy companies, shafting the economy still further. Yep, sounds like Tories to me.
@andrew_lilico
Nowt to do with his dancing. It’s the fact that he can’t simply pay for anything himself; instead some unelected billionaire nonentity stumped up for it. Pathetic.
@GBNEWS
Imagine being Neil Oliver. Imagine having a spot on a hard-right “news” channel where stare into the camera and tell the 17 people watching what you hate.
@RobBfromDerby
Steinbeck got it bang on. “Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” It’s the Tories’ job to maintain this illusion come Election Day.

@UKdemocrat
It’s a mystery why the Conservative multimillionaires who run the Taxpayers’ Alliance from their home in 55 Tufton Street aren’t all over this, a complete mystery.
@tomhfh
And a country with near-full employment, as we’re told, so why no growth? Ah yes, because millions of jobs are dead-end, insecure, unstable and badly paid. This is what the Tories have brought us to.
@Hepworthclare
2,600 food banks, and a multimillionaire landowner decides it’s good PR to frequent one. Every single food bank is a failure of government, and we don’t need this pampered, privileged couple trying to normalise them.
@NoContextBrits
Growing up in Middlesbrough there was this part of it called St Hilda’s. It was rough as shit. Thankfully it’s now all been knocked down. Unfortunately, the rest of Middlesbrough still remains.
@CraigyMac1979
I voted for Starmer as leader - based on what he pledged at the time. He’s gone back on pretty much all of it. Disgusted, I left the party. But Reeves came along to tell people like me I must be antisemitic and a racist. It’s really not a good look at all.
@carolvorders
Cash for honours is, of course, illegal. But they soon get around that by claiming corrupt peer X does lots for charity. It’s absolute bollocks. Why do the plebs allow this place to exist?

It’s strange how Tories are chomping at this bit over this story. I’m happy to see her held to account, but fuck me, were you all this vocal about Zahawi using our money to keep his horses warm?
@RobertJenrick
Ah yes, the Mail. Owned by an Englishman so ashamed of his country he lives in France, and his abysmal media outlet is based in a tax haven. How’s that for hating the UK?
@vanmaneuro
A mate of mine has an uncle who’s apparently “high up” at the Nissan plant. I was told this bloke told as many people as possible at the plant to vote for brexit, as it would work in Nissan’s favour.
That’s turned out well.
@NickGibbUK
None of your school policies since 2010 - not one - have been about raising standards. They’re all about commodifying schools and putting them in the hands of businesses and religious cranks. You should be ashamed.
@Daily_Express
A true man of the people - as long as those people are privately educated, work in the City, are white, hate foreigners, and love to attend one meeting out of 43 on fisheries. Farage is a joke.
@fesshole
A sent a mate a massive fart on WhatsApp. He was at a big family do and on Bluetooth while in charge of the music. He momentarily forgot when he went for a piss and played back the enormous fart.
