You will likely be approaching celebrities for this yearโs series.

Dear Boris Johnson
We have not forgotten about the parties.
Do not think that this appalling war will be your saviour.
We. Will. Not. Forget.

Dear Tory MPs
STOP the gaslighting.
โMost peopleโ in โmost homesโ DID NOT break the rules.
We knew we had to follow them to protect ourselves and others as best we could.
Your current narrative is deeply deeply offensive.

I held my dad's 'leaving do'. 6 mourners. No wake. No fizz. Just wretched sadness.
How dare you say 'people don't care any more'
A new speaker is needed. Traditionally itโs potentially something a new government does. Though doesnโt have to.
I think
@RhonddaBryant
would be a fabulous choice. Fair and principled. And wouldnโt stand for any ๐ฉ. (Iโm thinking Fartage & co and the nasty party leftovers)
You?
It appears
@metpoliceuk
arenโt publishing names of those fined.
If my MP is acting illegally doesnโt that mean they should resign?
Taxpayers pay their wages. They (allegedly) represent us.
I think we have a right to know. Donโt you?
#Partygate
Iโm struggling to understand how Wraggโs behaviour (handing out colleagues phone numbers to avoid compromising pictures of HIM being shared) can be anything other than a โsackable offenceโ.
Anyone?
Yes Iโm sick of partygate
But my Dad died alone while they partied
The ever present dialogue rips the scab open again and again
I will not โmove onโ til Johnson is gone.
I will not forget.
My dad died alone๐
He was 90 with nothing wrong with him but Covid.
I'm only thankful that he went before

Dad died alone Jan 21
Whilst Iโm not a royalist the image of the Queen sitting alone at Philipโs funeral is vivid & had me crying buckets - we had 6 at dadโs. He would have had 100s.
So we, & the head of state obeyed the rules to the letter
How can
@metpoliceuk
justify this
HOW?
Watching the HoC debate
Struck by
1. how much more civilised the discussion is than
#PMQs
2. those speaking today are speaking with courtesy and respect for their colleagues
3. much sense is being spoken.
No coincidence that Johnson, Fabricant, Patel, Gove, Javid aren't there.
Can you imagine how much worse the last 10 days would have been with the Tories still in charge?

#JohnsonOut9
My lovely dad
Died 11th Jan. Covid
He had nothing wrong other than be old
NOTHING is how we want it
We canโt bury him until March
We canโt have the eco coffin
We canโt include the many who want to mark his untimely passing
Itโs heartbreaking
Itโs just shit
For most of you under 40, you have no practical experience of what rising inflation feels like.
Itโs abstract.
Prepare people. Itโs about to get very real.
Starmer has managed more good in less than 12 hours than Johnson managed in 4 years
Almost double Johnsonโs majority โ๏ธ
Speech that had me crying with relief not rage โ๏ธ
Appointed a team of experts โ๏ธ

7000+ Covid deaths in January 2022.
Thatโs 18 jumbo jets
No survivors.
And the government are trying to tell us itโs over? Figures wonโt be published from April ๐ณ

First it was Care Homes
Then it was the public
Now the government is blaming GPs
At what point is the Government going to realise *they* are the ones to blame for the unholy mess they have created?
Iโm taking a break frm Twitter
The anger and sadness following my dad passing is ever present and Iโm โstuckโ
The

outrage at the weekend was the final straw
Thankyou to the many lovely people who have been so supportive
I will be back but for now I need to look after me
Hasnโt Johnson lost the whip for failing to vote? Heโs in the Caribbean so canโt use the โmy swipe card didnโt workโ lie.
If heโs lost the whip he canโt stand in the leadership contest.
Weโre world-beating again....
โWe always have to be a bit sceptical about learning lessons from countries that have failed very badly.โ

BREAKING
24 Tory MPs being investigated for funnelling well over ยฃ100,000 taxpayer money to NRG (Northern Research Group is a Tory group set up by Jake Berry MP) & then receiving money directly from NRG's main commercial backer.
Great article โฌ
This clip is extraordinary.
โThe impressionโ of
#Partygate
that has entered the national consciousness is a million miles from the truth. Says the man who was at a party when my dad died. Alone.
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
#MIPO
Shameless Boris Johnson still refusing to accept that
#Partygate
was wrong. He thought they were working hard and within the rules.
We managed to observe them FFS, we all worked hard. Lady Hallett reminds him of how people felt.

Dear Mr Hunt
Doesnโt cutting National Insurance cut funds for the NHS?
What a shitty thing to do.
It doesnโt even get you extra votes.
What the hell do you think this will achieve?
Thursday - obliterated by Carrieโs hat
Friday - boo-ed by middle England on the steps of St Paulโs
Saturday - Lee Mack and Stephen Fry were brilliant (and with Johnson in the audience lolz)
All live streamed by the worldโs media.
Where will he be humiliated today?
I'm having the screaming ab dabs. You?
- go out and have fun - but test before you do (Oops sorry no tests)
- Omicron is mild - so we're building hospitals in car parks because some will be seriously ill/ die
- Most infectious variant - retired teachers please help
WHAAAT?
Remember Starmer is a strategist.
Dealing with the Brexit clusterfuck will have been part of his planning for years. Just as winning this election has been.
He canโt fix it โtodayโ. But soon? Yes I think he can.
My hairdresser had covid in mid July. Salon has been a model example of super careful Covid protocols.
She shut the salon for 2 weeks and asked all staff to do PCR.
4 people positive.
All - ALL - had been double vaccinated.
Itโs. Not. Over.
My dad died alone on Johnson's watch.
He was old - but had nothing wrong with him.
Johnson partied the week Dad died Jan 21, in strict lockdown. And seems to think it doesn't matter.
The scab is ripped open. Yet again.
Fuck you

CAN YOU HEAR THE COUNTRY YET?
Latest YouGov poll - 50% vs 38% now think Brexit is a bad idea
Ironic if this tips Johnson over the edge
After 160,000 dead, and corruption on an extraordinary scale, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Right now, I donโt care what takes him down so long as something does
Hello lovely followers.
I've decided I'm taking a break from Twitter.
Tories are wiped out ๐ฅณ
Grown ups are in charge ๐ฅณ
And I'm in need of some peace and quiet.
My timeline is full of Fartage and Tr ump - which isn't peace and quiet at all!
Keep my seat warm โฅ๏ธ
Boris Johnson.
My fathers death is blood on your hands.
Yes Iโm raging.
Your incompetence and worse has robbed me, my mum and my siblings, his grandchildren, his friends, of a wonderful man who has been taken before his time.
You utter bastard.
148 letters of no confidence in June.
60 odd MPs resigned by the time Johnson resigned.
Itโs farcical. The world is looking on in bemusement.
The country is looking in in despair and fury.

@Steven_Swinford
Just remember Johnsonโs language. He was allowed to get away with it countless times. By the Tory party - YOUR party.
Tories have enabled that racist (and more) language.
I was pretty angry then. Werenโt you? No. You elected him leader.
So if you're over 80 you are expendable "for the greater good"
@BorisJohnson
This is still turning my stomach.... I can't get it out of my head
Anyone else?

My dad didnโt get the send off he deserved.
Unable to comfort him. Hold his hand. Or tell him I loved him.
Unable to visit his coffin.
8 weeks before we could bury him.
6 mourners, no singing, no wake.
Iโm being very selective about what I watch right now. Itโs too painful. ๐

What absolute codswallop
@GregHands
Trying to be โcleverโ by using accounting terms doesnโt change the facts. In normal language, money given and required to be paid back IS a loan.
Or perhaps more accurately, a debt.
The one thing it isnโt is a discount.
Why are journalists going out of their way to say how extraordinary they are finding the evidence at the

Werenโt they seeing what everyone else was seeing at the time?
Iโve been here since 2016.
8 years of Brexit, Covid, the ๐ฉ govโt ever and the traumatic loss of my dad๐
Iโm feeling v emotional and quite overwhelmed. That speech was pitch perfect. And now a team of grown ups?
Oh. My. God.
The relief.
You killed my dad.
You missed 5 cobra meetings
You shook hands with covid patients for photo op
No protective ring around care homes
YOU DID NOT DO EVERYTHING YOU COULD

Dear Sue
This should NOT be just left to Geri - establish the facts on this case of course - but FGS train your staff to NEVER leave women/ girls/ anyone vulnerable behind.
Or anyone at all. Christ. It's not hard is it?
Anyone else feeling a sense of optimism right now - I have to say politically I haven't felt this positive for YEARS. We might just be seeing the end....

#covidinquiryuk
Wow.
Responsible for ~9m people in London. Routinely ignored by Johnson et al. Finding stuff out in the papers.
OMG moment. Johnson was not aware of other countries' lockdown. In March 2020. WTAF???
Poulterโs defection has been a trigger for me, bringing all the Johnson๐ฉ back. When I lost my beloved dad to Covid. Dad followed all the rules but left alone. While โtheyโ partied. And Poulter, my MP, defended it.
Apologies for being a bit ranty. It still *really* hurts.
And after spending ยฃ200k to avoid releasing WhatsApp msgs - when they lost Johnson and Sunak just โdeletedโ them anyway. And that was it. No challenge. No tech investigation. No teenager available.
Un-fucking-believable.

Thatโs a pretty selfish attitude.

Watch this.
Especially those of you that don't 'get' the Harry/ Meghan conversations.
Searingly honest - and you know what? I'm SO impressed that Harry and Meghan had the courage and the strength to break the cycle.
Privilege has its downside. Big time.
Good on them.
