They’re almost certainly the kind of men most women dread walking past on a street. The kind of men who pay women a “compliment” then get angry if the women ignore them and hurry away.

Hey
@Conservatives
, can you please give
@LibDems
activists a bit of a break before we take the next "safe
#Tory
seat" off you in a by-election? Or at least give a couple of weeks to move the "
#LibDems
winning here" stakeboards? Thanks!

Please don't include all landlords; some behave ethically. Let's aim our fire at those who don't. My partner rents out his flat to a family; he hasn't put rent up since they moved in (3+ years ago) & he's dealt with every problem as quickly as he could (inc damp & new windows).
@DavidGauke
It shouldn't be contentious. However, level of denial over negative impact of
#Brexit
is so high it resulted in
#Tory
govt making situation worse by refusing to invest in expanding capacity for French border control at
#Dover
(agreeing to expand = admitting negative impact)
@Miss_Snuffy
I asked you a polite question: please define "woke". You didn't answer. I asked twice.
If you don't define what you mean by "woke", it's meaningless.

Please explain that pension at 64 in France is only for those with 43 full years of contributions. So if you've gone to uni, been unemployed, taken time out to raise kids etc, you'll retire later. French friend did BA & MA degree & was once unemployed; she'll get pension at 68!

I knew a Russian who'd done BA degree in USA. After final exams she went home & was then refused US visitor visa to attend graduation as "not enough ties to Russia" (home, parents, siblings) & "marriage risk"; she'd had 4 years to find US hubbie if that was her aim (it wasn't) 😮

(1) You "forgot" that the military families are being moved into brand new homes. (2) Short amount of notice is unacceptable. Should be 2 months like with typical tenancy. That's fault of govt, not migrants. (3) You don't seem keen on govt taking responsibility for own policies..

What

I think there's an element of wanting simple (simplistic?) answers to difficult situations. There's a lot to understand in a global pandemic & some of it can be scary. Easier to believe a bunch of cranks who say it's all made up. Sadly.

Erm, no MPs were given £10k! It's an allowance for buying equipment so staff can work from home. It can't be refused or donated, but it can remain unused. You've just been distracted by a dead cat designed to deflect from PPE failure & 900+ deaths a day..

which:
- had no concrete

- foresaw no process to involve parliament or voters in shape of future Brexit deal

@lewis_goodall
because the "will of the people" in 2016 cannot be upsurped by the will of the people in 2019? That would be "undemocratic" as people aren't allowed to change their views on
