@BethRigby
Sunak has come across as tetchy, petulant and rude. He’s talked over both Starmer and the host. It’s dire.
We absolutely are voting on the record of the past 14 years. And we’ve had enough.
@RishiSunak
By this same logic, the Tories will put up taxes by £3,000.
Half of the “Labour” pledges in the document you released are made up.
Half of the costings have millions to billions added to on top.
You’re still lying.
@Owens_EFC
My parents couldn’t afford new cars, designer clothing and holidays were as cheap as can be. I got picked on for wearing “cheap brands” in state school.
But I was not the poorest kid in there by a long stretch.
@JamesCleverly
Pure bitterness.
You are not the first person to gift a public figure a football shirt.
Pope Francis was given a United shirt, for instance, since Licha is his favourite player for Argentina. Was it you who gifted this?
@JohnnyMercerUK
The outrage is not “faux”. It is very real.
To wave away our anger as “faux, politicised outrage” is an absolute disgrace. An insult.
You should be ashamed. Sunak should be ashamed. The entire party should be ashamed and hang it’s head in shame.
Sunak should resign.
@RishiSunak
No regrets.
You have presided over the last 2 years out of 14 of complete failure.
Despite your lies, we are NOT better off. The country is NOT better ran. And we are NOT more secure.
I will be glad to see you gone.
@JamesCleverly
Is it like how Rwanda was a gimmick?
Where only 4 volunteers ever went there?
And was it like how closing down legal routes to asylum exacerbated the problem?
Was it like saying Labour has no plan and it turns out Rwanda was no plan at all?
Labour is doing something.
@Peston
Many people were put off by Sunak’s rudeness. Tetchiness and speaking over people is not a good look. It’s not strength.
Plus, it is impossible for him to empathise with people who are struggling to make ends meet. It is obvious he has never experienced that in his life.
@GregHands
😂😂😂😂
There are kids in state school who can’t afford lunch,
But oh no, not the private school choir! Whatever shall we do pip!
Typical Tories.
So, so out of touch.
@mrjamesob
I genuinely don’t think Labour need to campaign. It’s a park the bus job at this point.
But it’s an open goal and I’m here for it when they score:
@MrHarryCole
You sound just as desperate as Mordaunt was.
And that’s how she came across: desperate. Rattled and desperate.
Let me be clear: Penny Mordaunt would not be any better as leader of the Conservatives than what they have already got.
It is a fantasy. She is weak.
@wesstreeting
That’s what has been lacking all along.
A preference for taking action and a willingness to negotiate.
Truly excited by the exceptional talent in government right now 🙌
@GillianKeegan
So you are saying that SEND provision is so poor under your supervision that kids with needs are forced to go private? Can’t blame Labour for this.
Shocking. Absolutely shocking.
@AdamBienkov
They’re excusing the inexcusable.
The Prime Minister put party politics first when we needed him to represent the UK in commemoration of our finest heroes.
It’s not political ineptitude. It’s not poor judgement. It was a selfish, devious calculation to one up Starmer. And it
@RishiSunak
After 14 years, we are no better off.
You and your party have utterly failed to make a difference. Even debt is higher. Reducing it was promised in 2010.
The tax burden is higher than ever. Even with your tax cuts, tax is going up. You will only slow it.
You cannot be trusted.
@i_iratus
@Miss_Snuffy
Unhinged, cruel and abusive. Especially at that age.
The only reason she gets air time is because she’d unusually cruel to kids and happens to be a headteacher.
This ignores the brilliant headteachers who achieve far better outcomes through love, empathy and good teaching.
@Anna_Soubry
10 years ago, I would never have imagined Anna Soubry saying this in response to a Labour government.
It is mental how much has actually changed!
@JamesCleverly
Bogus.
That figure has been thoroughly discredited but you keep repeating the lie. It’s not a good look.
How much has the Conservative government increased tax? How much will you increase tax?
Because you’re certainly not going to cut taxes. That’s a lie too.
Lies. Lies. Lies
@ClaireCoutinho
Sounds a whole lot like you throwing desperate allegations about.
But you parroted the £2k tax hike lie.
So you lose ALL credibility.
You’re a proven liar.
@JamesCleverly
Seems like you’re struggling with your newfound irrelevance.
Nobody cares. They’re getting shit done.
You know, unlike the last government.
@juliasuzanne76
Yes, because Keir Starmer is responsible for a global IT outage caused by a bad deploy from a company based in Texas. It’s all Starmer’s fault 🙄
@JamesCleverly
Can’t blame Labour for your piss poor deal and a piss poor plan.
£270m was £270m too much. Cutting our losses was the right move.
Cancelling Rwanda was the right move.
It’s not a safe country. It was never a safe country. You cannot pass legislation to make it safe.
@KEdge23
Anyone 16 or above will be able to vote
Anyone under 16 won’t be able to buy energy drinks
There is no overlap. It’s basic logic.
I’d get the crayons out and explain with voting and smoking. I don’t think it would get through though.
@BethRigby
Don’t politicise this?
People are angry. It was a complete disrespect to the heroes that gave their lives in the Second World War.
Trying to wave away our anger as “politicising” is a disgrace and an insult unto itself.
He should be ashamed. He should resign.
@RishiSunak
So how will you pay for it?
Hammering the sick and disabled even more? You have done enough of that over a decade and a half.
Find another scapegoat for the countries problems: you.
@tomhfh
The issue was never the use of private jets.
That’s fine. It’s efficient use of time.
The real issue: Liz Truss racking up £1.8 million in food and drinks on these jets with fuck all to show for it.
Tell me, what did she achieve in the International Trade brief?
Nothing.
@bbclaurak
With achievements such as:
- Pissing off the entire teaching workforce
- Brexit with Boris
- Knifing Boris in the back
- Getting sacked by Boris
- Took charge of levelling up, UK levelled down
What an impressive CV
@JohnnyMercerUK
It’s obvious.
The latter bloke’s party is too toxic as a brand. It’d be electoral suicide to use it.
Thankfully, the former bloke doesn’t have this problem.
@Councillorsuzie
Because your Head Boy didn’t let him answer?
As clearly as he could, the costings were made on bogus policies, some of them being Tory policies!
Dirty tactics. But I’m not surprised.
@IanDunt
Blown away by these appointments, to be honest.
It’s sad that I am, though. It should never have been this way.
Exciting times ahead. Fingers crossed it continues.
@RishiSunak
Again, how will you pay for it?
By battering the sick and disabled.
It’s not a clear plan and bold action. It’s just more of the same.
You should be ashamed.
@MarinaPurkiss
@CamillaTominey
Laughable she calls anyone a client journalist or shill.
“Whisper it, Sunak’s about to make an extraordinary comeback” 🙄
@JamesCleverly
No it isn’t. VAT is not a new tax.
Labour will not raise taxes by £2,094. This is a complete lie.
That’s the problem with the Conservative party:
You’re fundamentally dishonest.
@JamesCleverly
@Conservatives
But you heard Beth. You have utterly failed on immigration.
It is now higher than when we left the EU.
You’ve had 14 years. 14 years of failure on immigration. Every target your party has set, you have missed.
Why should anyone believe you now?
@MrHarryCole
So there is no doubt: this is a tax set up by THIS government and now they’re saying they’ll scrap if if they win.
Blackmail is not a good look!
@BethRigby
So the clear plan and bold action is to hammer the sick and disabled?
Like they have been doing for the past decade and a half.
It’s just more of the same.

Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea has Democratic in it, so that must be a little bit Democratic too, right?
The Nazis were far-right. End of story.

The experience of any software engineer who has to do big changes under the hood that, if all goes well, has no impact on the user.
The fact it had zero impact on the user is the big technical achievement, albeit a thankless one to those who don’t understand.
@RishiSunak
Of course Keir Starmer will back the farmers. What has this government done for farmers post-Brexit?
Many struggle to make ends meet.
How can you criticise another with such a poor track record on the same?
And because of what? The number of words in a manifesto?
Petty.
@JohnJCrace
Definitely got this vibe from my recently-retired Welsh barber, Alison. No doubt she's jetting off into the sunset with her millions in laundered cash...
@midbedsreformuk
@jdpoc
Like the Democratic People’s Republic of China is democratic?
The name was used to attract votes. It had nothing to do with where they fell on the political spectrum nor their ideology.
But I agree. Learning a bit of history is important. You should follow your own advice.
@Redpeter99
Ooooh let’s give this a go then:
Keir Starmer is the best Labour leader we’ve had in near 20 years. By a mile. Maybe longer than that.
Change my mind.
@vboykis
It is!
Software engineering is, in a big way, complexity management. Even if it cannot be eliminated, how can it be isolated so it doesn’t spread and infect the rest of the codebase?
The causes of complexity are an important topic too.
@BethRigby
He was there to represent us where Sunak wasn’t.
Has nothing to do with being less busy. Starmer stayed.
Made it crystal clear who our Prime Minister actually is and is, officially, going to be.
@ITVNewsPolitics
@Jeremy_Hunt
Which had absolutely nothing to do with the Tory Government.
In any case, it will not make one iota to the result of the election.
@Samfr
Agree. We need to give them a pay rise. I disagree with Starmer and govt that 30% is too expensive.
They deserve the pay rise on a moral basis. Who risked their lives during Covid?
But a good healthcare system also needs good people. Competitive pay helps attract good people
