Braverman cannot have said what she said in parliament today and hold her ministerial post. It was absolutely disgusting. It brought deep shame on our government and us. She must resign or be removed.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the only country in the world with an international border within its own territory.

Why did Johnson fly to Lebedev’s Palazzo straight after the Nato meeting to discuss the Skripal poisoning? Then left the next day totally drunk without any luggage?
Why did Johnson prioritise Evegeny Lebedev’s elevation to the house of lords after shortly after he became PM?

There was a lot of mealy mouthed criticism in the media about this. I wonder why?
I felt it perfectly reflected the current state/mess of our society and reactions to crises. And it was very funny too.
I am 57 - I am was a tweeny in the 1970s - did anyone my age think Jimmy Savile was anything other than a pervert at the time. I found him to be deeply disturbing!
I had suffered a ban from twitter for 24 hours for calling a post a bunch of evil racist (see you next tuesdays). So i was banned. Yet leave EU was not banned for insulting 80 million Germans with a racist banner.🤷♀️
American: Like your accent, where are you from?
Me: I am British and live in the UK.
Him: That’s cool; I have been there!
Me: Really, where exactly did you go?
Him: Greece!
Something missing on my timeline.
The Government is planning to revoke the EU working time directive - debate this week.
The Home Office is planning to pass laws to revoke the right to roam and criminalise trespass.
Why am I not reading this anywhere?
I am now 55 and I am so much more empathic and emotional now conpared to my younger self, i find it embarrasing. I break into tears with great ease. Is this shared by others of my followers or not? This is not a judgemental question so please reply openly.
I get a very strong impression that people who live outside of London have a very strange idea of what it is like to live here. Most seem to think of London as a dangerous and fearful place.
I live in Lambeth, a much maligned borough. And it is not like that in my experience.
@GlobeMCramer
Thank god for the NHS, they saved my life in February following a catastrophic haemorrhage, No Bills. No Cost. Its why i am happy to pay my taxes for society.
How does criminalising rough sleeping, with the prospect of fines of up to £2,500, a month’s imprisonment, or both, help anyone? What does it hope to achieve?
Last tweet, The UK for most people has become a very poor country for the bottom 70-80% of the population.
The, “ we are the 5th 6th or 7th wealthiest country in the world “ is bollocks. Most people earn 20-25 % less than our French neighbours for the same job.
@IanDunt
My taxes pay for schools and child tax allowances for parents, and many other state provisions from which I do not benefit.
This is fine, it is what should happen. But I should not pay extra taxes because I do not have kids.
My take: Murdock has a visceral hatred of the BBC, The Sun staff know this. But would not have published with such weak claims. The girl denied the story via her lawyer on Friday. Yet they went ahead. This had Murdock’s fingerprints all over it.
@PaulEmbery
We did not have nice words to describe ourselves at school. We were not excepted . Being gay may as well have been a crime. So we hid our true selves. You have no idea what damage that does or you would not have tweeted this.
@LizKershawDJ
Oh my god! She might have the money via other means, family, marriage, or she as a top nursing job, or even owns her home outright, as housing costs is the biggest. Eliminating that makes one well off. You are a disgrace!
There has been a veritable parade of Tory MPs on my timeline today because of
#TurdReich
One of their most defining commonalities among them is just how weird looking and ugly they are!
Why is that?
Why is it that ITV is doing public service today with drama’s about the Horizon scandal and the Pandemic? This used to be the in part the preserve of the BBC.
I made a batch of Digestive Biscuits to a 19th C recipe. My OH has pooh poed me for making boring biscuits. I see it as a learning exercise (it was complicated). Not as sweet as modern factory ones. Sweet/savoury delicious with some cheese!

The Church is not a political party appealing to it’s congregation. It appeals to an assumed higher power and its tradition of established morality set by its core cannon. And to teach that to its church. Clearly you were not paying attention.
We have been offered a cat which is being bullied by the other household cats. She is called Toffee and is 3 years old. I grew up with dogs and many other animals am wary about pets because of the responsibility and commitments having had a professional career- thoughts?
Why are we constantly being regaled by Harwood’s discovery of Geography ?
It like he just found Google Earth.
Ooh look at that! Ooh look at that! and that!

“never mind life expectancy, never mind cancer outcomes”
Here you can see how his mind works. And it is not good.
And he is wrong about wage growth.
@NeilDotObrien
We are not. The population has been gaslighted and abused by out government for 12 years. We are poorer now than ever before. Fearful and scared of what the future holds.
Enjoy your holiday, out of reach now for most people. Do you ever feel shame?
@BelindadeLucy
She kept asking, over and over again and interrogated her, saying many offensive things. You need to read the transcript. The underlying inference was that she was no entitled to her nationality. That is what was disgraceful.
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).
@TrishHodkinson
What do you mean by “woke”?
People never respond to that question, because they cannot answer without making themselves look like bigots.
@KemiBadenoch
You should not be responding in a personal capacity, any response should be made by the ministerial department. This is highly unprofessional and irresponsible.
It sounds like you have been caught out and have resorted with your MO of attacking the journalist or whistleblower.

I never realised that, American health insurance is worse than I thought. Whereas in the EU we have reciprocal health access rights - one of the things Brexit throws away.
I have a new Job, a contract.
I was made redundant in February just as the pandemic arrived and all the jobs dried up.
Its a sort of baby steps job, below my usual grade. I did not want to jump back into a stressful senior role. And to get some more hands on experience.
I had to queue for 10 minutes at my polling station this morning. Never happened before. Perhaps this is indicative of the turn out? It was not due to ID checks as one officer was separately IDing people waiting in the queue.
@GinnyHBall
So, you already have kids… then
You lose your job.
You become widowed
You get divorced.
You have to go to a refuge.
Your wife becomes seriously ill.
Cost of living rises precipitously.
Your rent goes up.
You get evicted.
Anything can happen.
But for you it is only bad choices.

Exactly this. We are not rich, much of the population is dirt poor. The middle class are struggling! Those who used to have what were thought to be good jobs, Doctors, Lawyers, Educators are struggling!

@MichaelRosenYes
Oh, my, Lord! Michael Rosen was in an induced coma on a ventilator for almost two months. A miracle he survived. and now he is permanently disabled.
I think you should apologise to him, and the millions of other people who suffered and you have also insulted.
@tomhunt1988
It is not very complicated, it is immoral to deport people to countries not of their origin after seeking sanctuary in the UK.
This is anathema to Christian thought, shared by modern Humanists. And it is right to call it out!

You know that sexual attraction, what sex you are attracted to is totally different from sexual identity, what sex you identify as. That has been clear for a very long time.
@NickFletcherMP
@BorisJohnson
Your constituents that are Tory voters are not the general electorate. It is important to remember that Johnson was ejected for many serious failings, lies, corruption scandals etc which culminated with a sex scandal which he tried to suppress and very many ministers resigned…
@SalfordMe2023
I repeat, he was not Turkish. He was a Greek Speaking Roman, living in the East Roman Empire in the late 3rd century CE. The Turkish did not arrive in Anatolia until at least the 10th century CE.
Everyone seems to get this wrong.
@NickFletcherMP
@BorisJohnson
… if you bring him back, you will bring all the scandal back. Because this is part of his nature.
And he will further erode the common decency and the institutional structures of this country.
So what is it to be?
Party, yourself or the country?
