1/5 12 years Tories have been in thrashing around in Govt, blaming Labour, MPs, judges, the EU, business leaders, managers. Unions, civil servants, teachers, #bbcnews, liberals, disease, war, Corbynistas & lefties for all the problems facing UK. #newsnight #bbcpm #r4today

@BBCPolitics Multifold, but one clear issue is a dysfunctional energy market. In each 30 minute block, the highest auction price is paid to all suppliers, regardless of production cost, and generally this highest price is that of gas. Remember the dash for gas and Tory energy market.

How could #Trump2025 state visit to meet King of Canada possible go ahead after suggesting a hostile takeover of #Greenland, #Gaza and #Canada? #r4today #bbcpm #newsnight #CanadaUSTradeWar #CanadaIsStrongandFree @RestIsPolitics @TheNewsAgents @lewis_goodall #Americast

Trump: We’re making our country larger, we’re making our country stronger. And in the case of Canada—if this should happen—I don’t know how they can do it without us. Because without the U.S., Canada really doesn’t have a country. They do almost all of their business with us, and if we say we want our cars to be made in Detroit, with a stroke of a pen, I can make that happen. And other things, in addition to that, would not allow Canada to be a viable country.

@SkyNews Dressed as a cliche farmer... normally with a pint in hand to act the common man, surprised he isn't chewing on a blade of straw as well. The Brexit promoter now farmer's friend?

@atrupar US citizens, you should hang their your heads in shame. This is the same Canadian allies that landed at Juno beach to defeat Nazis, stood shoulder-to-shoulder after 9/11 and lost many lives in Afghanistan. Trump only sees $ signs.

@SkyNews @amandaakass Gwynne has brought Labour party into disrepute. He should stand down. Every candidate at selection effectively has to delcare whether there is anything contrary to @uklabour values in their SM. Maybe all Labour officials and representatives should file an annual SM declaration?

@SkyNews @JackBrewerBSI @jonathansamuels It would have been hugely offensive to 'White Supremicists' to display those signs.

@SkyNews Let's see how this pans out, but if he continues, Trump surely cannot be offered a state visit to shake hands with the King of #Canada. Surely UK will show solidarity with Canadians on this and not be creepy cowards sucking up to the US for a trade deal that will only #MAGA

@Scaramucci I care less about US self-harming, than I care about the harm the US is inflicting in Gaza, Ukraine, to people in Canada, Greenland and Panama. You elected the clown. We didn't, but we still get ringside seats at his circus.

@sardonicimp @atrupar I think that's the Cockburn plan, lst attempted in 1814, with some small success.

@sytsema_andy @atrupar Maybe someone should poll the US citizens to see how many of them would prefer to join Canada?

@LizWebsterSBF @NFUtweets @ProagriLtd @JeremyClarkson @NoFarmsNoFoods @PeterStefanovi2 @mikegalsworthy @euromove @JamesMelville @FarmersWeekly @FarmersGuardian Eds and Meds as well as other services have been suggested as a price for a US trade deal, i.e. opening up opportunities to take over UK Universities and NHS provision.

@TheNewsAgents @RestIsPolitics @BBCr4today @BBCPM @BBCNewsnight @lewis_goodall @jonsopel @maitlis @campbellclaret There should be no place for this self-defeating contempt in any MP. We especially do not expect it of @UKLabour MP's.

@SkyNews She, plus @peterkyle would do well to sort out pending crisis in higher education. If Universities are to survive in a 'market' without more Govt support (given tuition fee cap), then overseas student visas need to be increased/conditions improved And it increases growth.
