One of the saddest images of lockdown. Children unable to play together. Meanwhile in Downing St, people partied. Johnson is a liar.
#PrivilegesCommittee
Still think you might not be voting Labour because you find Starmer lacking in personality? Have you seen the state of the NHS after 14 years of Tory government? Give your head a wobble, for fuck’s sake.

I am so proud and happy for Ishmael who became a British citizen today.
He was the first so-called "Dubs child" (coined by the media - not by me!) to arrive as an unaccompanied child refugee fleeing war in Syria.
He has already acheived so much and has a bright future ahead.

James O’Brien has made me switch from Radio 4 completely. I felt finally someone was speaking out on issues that were affecting my life, I am on UC, single mum, working, but suffering from austerity. NOBODY ELSE spoke up for me. Him and

are the ones who helped me.
Kate Middleton and Charles Windsor will be receiving tax payer funded luxury health care. Meanwhile, the nation suffers lengthy year long waiting times, pharmaceutical shortages, the longest wait for cancer results in Europe, crumbling hospitals, minuscule disability and sickness

@AngelaRayner
Hi Angela, I am incandescent with rage and disgust. This woman was an NHS worker. Instead of even acknowledging her contribution to the NHS, he patronised her with non-answers, then laughed in her face, and as she was trying patiently to tell him about her daughter, Sunak never
@JackThomsonUKIP
How dare you presume to know what I, an average Brit, thinks. I am deeply offended by your statement.
I care about immigrants
I care about the atrocious rise of the Far Right
I care about the corruption of a government that breaks humanitarian laws
I care that austerity
You tell me Ambulance and Fire Service don’t deserve pay rises after hearing of their desperate rescue of those children in Solihull. Emergency services deal with things nobody should ever have to.

@campbellclaret
I cried and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Starmer understands how hard people have had it and showed his humanity in that speech. I cried because it felt so comforting to have someone be so nice, someone who appeared to be putting his arm around my shoulders. A genuine relief.
@LordAshcroft
The French are amazing people. Do not disrespect their courage in the face of horrors you could never endure. A united Europe was the wish of all WW2 veterans, and your government would have been despised by Churchill. Leaving the ECHR, the EU, shame on you!

interview
#RishiSunak
and the man has verbal diarrhoea. Phillips trying to get questions in and Sunak ignores him and carries on speaking. Haughty, tetchy, whiny. Arrogantly speaking over the interviewer. Sunak is a terrible communicator.
@carolvorders
CAROL, please go on all the tv media, podcasts, radio shows you can and publicise this. The corruption is off the scale! Sunak won’t call a General Election until his father-in-law and his wife have ensured they get nice contracts, this is destroying our country, our democracy.
WTF
@SkyNews
why is Beth Rigby blathering on about Andy Street? Why the attention to the Tories? Can’t the media actually report the feeling of the country? Labour have destroyed the Tories! Report reality. FFS!
@AngelaRayner
This is so ace. You make the Penny Mordaunts of this world look even more freakish just be being human, and reacting the way we all would in your situation. So proud of you, can’t wait to see you in government. Please let it be soon! 🙏
@coldwarsteve
You’re only human, and you must give yourself time to heal, you may or may not know it, but you keep us all sane throughout this hellscape that is going on around us. If you’re emphatic and have a heart, you can buckle under the pressure. Be kind to yourself. All power to you.💪🏽
@campbellclaret
They knew they knew what they were putting in to 10 Downing Street. When you read about how other countries view UK now, it’s a form of self abuse. Compare how Ardern in NZ handled the pandemic, with that man. They truly must hate us, hope this ends the party ultimately for good.
@coldwarsteve
You told the truth from Day 1 of Covid. You were unrelenting in your determination to reveal the reality of the pandemic. I will never forget what they did to the most vulnerable people of this country. I will never forgive this government. They are murderers.
@PeterStefanovi2
Don’t worry, the majority will be watching Farage on I’m a Celebrity and couldn’t care less. It’s terrible but one day they’ll be living in a world like Winston Smith with no idea how they got there.

I’m gutted you’re leaving twitter Janey! Where can I follow you? So love your hilarious posts, and your little gorgeous dog photos.i will miss you, your amazing Technicolor Jumper! Thank you for making me smile and laughing at the voice overs you do. Take care darling Janey! Xxx

I am from Lincolnshire and sadly it is gammon central. Many young people are poorly educated, no prospects, terrifying levels of xenophobia. There are though, quite a lot of people like me who appreciate immigration and understand how screwed the farming industry is due to Brexit

The sin of withholding? Don’t you mean she just didn’t want sex with you, and that is entirely her right to refuse sex if she doesn’t want it? Or do you believe it is fine to force yourself on a woman?
@i_iratus
And we all have to live this miserable existence as long as Rishi Sunak wants us to. We are utterly disenfranchised, unable to change his wretched government. I hate my life. I hate having no money for my 8 year old boy to do hobbies, not being able to socialise, have holidays,

Bailey shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this! Every comment that is said by a Tory that isn’t slapped down immediately by Sunak is a go ahead for more sexist ‘jokes’ to be made affecting women everywhere. We’ve had enough!!!

I’m 43, look 43, and feel 43. I am sick of being told to look younger by society. I’m bored of seeing so called empowered women on tv, in my daily life filling their faces with fillers and trout pout lips. They don’t look good, they just look the same as each other. And they

@SuellaBraverman
My grandfather would have refused to shake your hand, madam. He would have despised your racist rhetoric. Go now, resign. You have no mandate. You thrive on disunity and have fuelled hatred towards immigrants. You are an immigrant yourself. You’re a hypocrite, and a stain on
@SophyRidgeSky
Starmer was cool and frankly if anything it added to his speech. The issues he covered gave me something I haven’t felt for 13 years: hope, passion, respect. Love the idea of British Green Energy in Scotland. You just know Labour will look after the people. They see beyond the

I supported you but now! How can you offer Israel unconditional support? You are a human rights lawyer! I can’t believe this is the Labour Party. The Israeli regime is an apartheid regime.

I can’t afford to take my seven year old son to see Barbie, even though he keeps asking. Trying to eke out the month’s food budget after paying all the bills living on Universal Credit and PIP. Hope they enjoyed themselves.

@bigtoekne
I’m disgusted that this is how our PM travels. He is such a hypocrite on climate change. It’s disgraceful to think how he lives, whilst so many of us ‘civilians’ eke out a living on zero hours contracts, Universal Credit, the cost of living crisis. General Election soon please!
@JohannaSaunders
You’re so right. I remember (as a 90s teenager) going to gigs to see Oasis, Blur, Pulp (personal fave) had a little part time job in a garden centre at weekends, yet could afford it then. Now consider a bargain basement food shop from Tesco an accomplishment, can’t afford a life
@jessphillips
Hope you’re ok Jess, feeling like you can’t get your breath is very frightening. As someone with COPD I can understand. I have spent time every Winter in A&E because of respiratory infections. Whilst the care I have received has been fantastic with the pressure on NHS staff, it
So many deaths. So many many grieving families. All to hide bad PR of overflowing hospitals due to Tory austerity cuts. So they knowingly sent elderly people to Covid-riven care homes. Picture from

Thank you Carole. This should have been picked up years ago across all media outlets. Why on Earth are the Americans and British Intelligence Services not interested in this bombshell?
