On a day off, after dropping the wife off at work, I saw an unusual lorry on the motorway. I was intrigued to where it was going. 80 miles later, still following & thought I cant back out now. Ended up in Scotland. It was a tough one to explain to the wife. Thinks I'm cheating

@MattinW00lwich Yes - but if he’d been overheard saying this on a train it would be just as bad… just in this case there’s a handy transcript so he can’t say he’s been misheard

The @Telegraph front page today is wrong and mendacious. ❌ There will be no such delegation of Caribbean leaders or officials in Spring. ❌ We do not pay reparations. We made this clear to the Telegraph, which has decided to ignore the facts.

@stianwestlake Just buy it from a 3rd party vendor- they have to get your business so websites work better (and the ink is ~as good)

Kind of sad when an MP who makes a big deal of being pragmatic in other areas refuses to contemplate any alternatives to the status quo model of the NHS

British Values, abandoned! Farage wants health care to check your purse before they check your pulse! No!
