It is worth remembering that the UK Government put £16billion extra into the railway system to sustain it through the pandemic.
It is normally subsidised with £4 billion a year.
This strike totally ignores what this Government did to support the railway system
24000 postal votes in Rochdale.
That is on you Blair. You opened up postal voting because of disappointing turnout in the 2005 General Election.
And now we have 24000 postal votes in a by election, that is nuts

‘Champagne Socialist’ just doesn’t cover it
The Supreme Court have erred in my opinion. They could have stayed neutral and found the matter non justiciable.
The Lord Chief Justice made such a judgment in the Miller case in the High Court.
The Supreme Court would have avoided appearing to side with the stop Brexit ultras
Hmmmm. Did Shamima Begum’s family or lawyer know that she had dual British - Bangladeshi citizenship ?
Did the fawning Sky and BBC News teams know ?
Or were they just played ?
Rishi Sunak will help his old £43,000-a-year boarding school, but not families who can't afford to heat their homes.
That tells you everything about whose side he's really on.
Something similar happened in a Rotherham by election a few years ago.
The numbers just reek of an abuse of the system.

just have to look at this urgently before the next General Election

The EU is a multinational trade bloc with a powerless Parliament elected on a ghastly party list system with all legislation initiated by unelected ex politicians & Eurocrats (Commissioners/Commission)

Britain spent centuries facing down European hegemons. When the United Kingdom was formed in 1707 we were already involved in a war defending the Dutch & others from the French

Linking Brexit campaigners to an attack on democracy, when 17.4 million votes was the biggest vote for anything in the UK’s democratic history
The Supreme Court has now become part of the Establishment trying to Stop Brexit.
It was their decision & they could have avoided it.
I expect the Lord Chief Justice is spitting feathers
Why is it so difficult to understand ‘net contributor’ for 40 + years ?
The EU spends UK money in the UK but brands it EU money & asks for your gratitude
@RachelEMwilson
Nice one Rachel.
Ask yourselves this : how on Earth did all 11 agree, meaning they all disagreed with the Lord Chief Justice, the Master of the Rolls & the President of the Queen’s Bench Division ?
@stuartbridger1
The Rotherham by election was before Voter ID was brought in.
This is industrial scale abuse of postal voting. Not being bothered about it is not a good look.
Cheating is cheating is cheating

Waterloo was fought on a ridge line astride the road to Brussels, the Dutch were fighting alongside the British to defend the now capital of the EU

The appropriate time & place for floral tributes is at his funeral/burial not at the scene of the serious crime he was committing when he died, especially when it’s very near the home of his elderly vulnerable victims
They also chose to ignore the ultra Remain credentials of those bringing the cases.
It was everything to do with Brexit & only incidentally about constitutional propriety
@adamboultonSKY
To suggest that any of the 17.4m people who voted Brexit & also identify as Conservative supporters = Far Right.
It is politically & philosophically illiterate bilge water.
Correct it. Don’t double down.
Senior broadcaster showing such manifest bias. Dear me.
@guyverhofstadt
And if it wasn’t for the invasion of Belgium in August 1914, the then Liberal Government of Britain may well have stood aside, at least in the first instance
They have also missed the opportunity to squash “lawfare”.
Instead the arch proponents of lawfare will take this as a green light for crowdfunded vexatious court actions

It’s not just Davey. Vince Cable was his Ministerial Boss at the time and Jo Swinson was also a Post Office Minister after Davey.
That is the current leader and 2 past leaders of the perpetually virtual signalling party
What is telling here is that slavery & colonialism are being conflated deliberately.
The slave trade was abolished by UK act of Parliament in 1807. The institution of slavery was abolished in 1833

I accept that. But the Met have gone softly softly on leftist protesters regardless of how appalling their behaviour is

It means that the Jews will be removed so that Arabs occupy the land from the Mediterranean to the River Jordan.
It is literally a call for, at best ,expulsion of the Jews.
At worst, it is a call for genocide
Why didn’t the DPP have oversight of the Savile case ?
Surely there was no more high profile case with a greater public interest than Savile at the time.
It must have crossed his desk & he must have taken an interest.
Did he decide to leave it alone ? That is still a decision
History teaches us of the danger of being afraid to speak truth to power.
Across the world, the far right is on the rise. Against this backdrop, London stands out as a beacon of hope. And that’s worth defending.
Then one of their dads, one of the most vocal & apparently sincere complainers, had been filmed at an angry pro Islamist right behind someone burning a US Flag

I am not playing any more. Everyone is replying to the original tweet and not reading the answers I have already given to dozens of people making the same or similar points with snark

The fact the Scottish Greens are allied with the SNP who have several pro IRA/Sinn Fein/United Ireland councillors is highly pertinent
