Turns out “build back better” is £3k heating bills, £100 to fill your car, 1970s inflation, strikes, & food shortages. Maybe we should all just go back to work & stop pretending? Printing money to pay people to stay at home & spreading irrational fear was utterly irresponsible.

@BurnsideWasTosh @BorisJohnson @brexitbulldog2 Don’t be silly - East Germany had much stricter borders….

@BellaWallerstei If you think he’s “intellectually brilliant” you must have a remarkably thick group of friends. The only thing he excels at is his ratio of self esteem vs actual talent.

@CarolineLucas So we import oil instead. Hardly the win you think it is unless your aim is to make us all poorer and enrich the Middle East.

@alextomo Utter ludicrous logic based on the nonsensical premise that if we don’t produce domestically consumption will decline or that imported hydrocarbons are somehow less CO2 emitting. We are governed by fools.

@alextomo It displaces hydrocarbons which would otherwise have been produced elsewhere so no meaningful impact except reduced transport costs (& improved balance of payments). A ridiculous judgement which simply highlights profound lack of common sense in the implementation of legislation

@joerichlaw Lets just make Matrix Chambers the UK Supreme Court and be done with the pretence of the UK being a Parliamentary democracy. Until there are material personal penalties for judicial overreach the problem will just get worse.

@stephenpollard If the latest Rory prediction is as accurate as his Kamala forecast they might as well rebrand Deeptrouble.

@SBarrettBar The surpluses are already invested, predominantly in bonds. What they mean is they intend to relax where it can be invested. Not necessarily a bad thing, but as with public sector funds there’s a risk the investment becomes politically influenced & sub optimal.

@AlexTaylorNews @griffitha It doesn’t operate as a single market for exporters who have to provide marketing material, distribution agreements, post sales support in differing languages for each EU country. They don’t even use the same plug.

@DouglasCarswell Sadly none of that would currently be possible in the UK, however large a demographic mandate, while the self perpetuating Blairite “Supreme Court” holds sway, unaccountable and unelected. It is a Republican majority in the USSC which facilitates that scale of change.

RT @kelvmackenzie: If Trump were to offer to make England the 51st state of America would you accept?

@JohnSimpsonNews Liberal? Hardly - debanking protestors and censoring speech is incredibly authoritarian. What you mean is the (current) regime shares your woke worldview.

@vulpine2020 @afneil I know. It’s disgraceful and a toxic legacy. The failure to properly account for public sector unfunded pension liabilities is particularly fraudulent.

Astonishing- you can see the glow of the LA fires in the hills from the Santa Monica Beach Pier live webcam.

@Anna_Soubry Because EU growth is something to mimic? More obvious than ever that the US model is the only game in town if we really want to boost our economy.

@SBarrettBar The very fact they selectively choose to try to protect Democrats from criticism tells you everything you need to know about their political bias. As Zuckerberg recently stated, the problem with employing fact checkers was that the invariably politicised the process.

@DCBMEP Back to the 1970s with strikes, blackouts, a falling currency and rising UK government borrowing costs. Pre Blair Labour strikes again. Fingers crossed the reaction will lead to another Thatcher.
