@LizWebsterSBF
@theresa_may
100% agree..not forgetting as well that (egged on by nick timothy), she engaged in ugly populism, demonizing half the population with her citizens of nowhere speech & later on refusing to condemn enemies of the people attacks on judges..she was a disaster for the uk
@Europe_not_eu
@LizWebsterSBF
What is happening in Poland is the return of free speech, democracy & the rule of law..all of which had been undermined by hard right authoritarian populists
@astraiaintel
Got a lot of time for David ….firstly ur allowed to be wrong ….secondly his criticism of Biden / Sullivan appeasement faction for failing to deliver enough (& not giving away the Bradley’s that are to be scrapped etc) has been completely reasonable
@jurgen_nauditt
Any single company which supplies parts to Iran for drones should be fully sanctioned..fully
ban them from doing business in all western countries
⚠️ Important: Russian plan for the final destruction of Ukraine 🧵
A few weeks ago, leading Russian scientists published an extensive strategy paper on foreign and domestic policy strategy for the Russian government, which was now leaked by a Russian news site.
1/20
@LizWebsterSBF
That is a good piece ..reality is that large companies have the scale to get around the increased restrictions unlike SMEs ..so the real cost of brexit (if u exclude inflation) has been borne by SMEs..fairly ironic when the tories used to be the party of small business owners
@PickardJE
@FT
After Johnson crossed the rubicon, everyone in the Tory party suddenly thought it was acceptable to lie incessantly about everything all the time ..well the electorate is well & truly sick of this collapse in public standards ..all of these people need to be swept away
@mikegalsworthy
Brexit ‘freedoms’ / deregulation always meant stripping away workers rights .. the problem with this, of course, is that no one would ever vote for it ..that’s why the right of the Tory party, in my view, really wants to gut ECHR etc ..they can force force their utopia upon us
@HuXijin_GT
@USAmbChina
US appeasement? You mean like Curtis le Mays USAF totally destroying Japanese cities with firebombing raids and then dropping 2 atomic bombs? The US saved China from Japan during ww2 (& US also gave significant aid to Chinese forces as well). You should show some gratitude
@nexta_tv
The response of Dutch,scandies and Baltic nations has been very impressive ..as a brit, all I can say is that we can always count on our Northern European cousins to do the right thing 👍
@notafella69
Countries u can pretty much always rely on to do the right thing on issues of fundamental importance ..Brits, nordics, Balts & Dutch ..once tusk gets in, that grouping+ the poles / Czech / Romania represents the real spine of Europe
@secretsqrl123
@WatchChad
It’s hopeless arguing with these people..they won’t listen to any kind of reason …they’re a cult whose views are already fixed…total respect for not letting up and trying to make them see sense tho..👍
@SpaghettiKozak
I’ve lived in Singapore for 18 years &
my wife is from Penang (so I have been to Malaysia a.lot ..all over in fact)..Malaysians,
generally speaking, are very nice chilled people ..Ian’s miles Cheong is not at all
representative ..he is just some pathetic incel
@SariArhoHavren
He is doing us a favour by showing them up for who they really are..least that helps counterbalance macron & scholz scurrying over there at every available opportunity to suck up to them
@acgrayling
@SaveFOM
Hung parliament is definitely the best outcome as it’s the quickest route back into SM / FOM (& to get pr)...if labour win, the economy will likely continue to decline due to their brexit policy, and the Tories may get back in again to ‘fix labours brexit mess’
@SwedeMalinka
Interesting piece .. Swedish charity regulators should be all over this….could it be that this money is being redirected outside of Ukraine? (eg to UNCHR pet causes such as hamas in Gaza?)
@CollinSLKoh
Wise decision..getting into bed with China is basically agreeing to let them use u as a pawn to further their own goal of making China number 1
@yasminalombaert
I always said that the best way for 🇩🇪to truly atone for its past and was to do something righteous ..helping 🇺🇦 was that chance ..the cheque book has come out, but the lack of leadership has been very disappointing .🇩🇪 has blown its moment to emerge as a truly great power
@fellaraktar
Totally agree with this ..the more disinfo there is, the weaker Russia is ..disinfo is the only effective card Russia has to play to counter the HUGE gap in economic and technological power between itself and the west
@jurgen_nauditt
It’s ridiculous performative nonsense done specifically to scare MAGA and scholz (just another cot in Russias frenzied disinfo campaign)
@ChrisO_wiki
Seriously Russian society is going to explode at some point..there will be
huge numbers of angry, bitter and violent people returning from the war (Russia probably has to keep on fighting to stop too many of them returning)
@annettedittert
The times has become awful over the past year ..filled with ludicrous puff pieces on various hard right Tories including Kruger, cates, badenoch (not to mention a piece pathetically trying to justify charlotte owens being appointed to the lords). Really desperate stuff
@Trotes936897
Super interesting thread 👍’armor thickness is sufficient to allow K-1 ERA be installed ‘..genuine question…is this likely to happen? (In fact is it even possible to get hold of this?)
@richardpbacon
@danwootton
Was wondering what was going on with Alison pearson at the telegraphs campaign to crowdfund Dan Woottons legal fees (enthusiastically supported by Toby young).. bc he was being ‘cancelled’ ..from what I can tell all her posts have now been cancelled (from history!)..
@randymot4
‘Our ukrainian brothers’..how dare she say that given the unspeakable crimes committed by russia against ukrainian combatants and civilians almost every day ..zelenskys ‘without you’ speech perfectly summed it up
@jurgen_nauditt
France previously prioritised macrons de Gaullist view of europe, and orders for its own industry, over ukraines immediate needs …by doing so again, when Ukraine has an acute ammunition shortage, is not only utterly disgraceful but also unforgivable
@MHartleyJones
If you live in a blue wall seat, vote lib dems and not labour …a hung parliament is our best hope of going back into the SM within a sensible time frame
@OwenJones84
Yet u were almost completely silent on Twitter about the initial hamas attacks ..so u obviously u didn’t regard those as being a problem whatsoever ..this is why lots of people regard u with anger and disgust
@Rail_splitter1
@johnnyjmils
telegraph is an alt right UKIP paper..the daily express for chippy aristocrat types …whilst it has backed Ukraine it is also a fan of farage, trump etc (with its entirely posh columnists ludicrously railing against globalist elites, woke capitalism etc)..
@OzKaterji
It should be remembered as well that the areas Ukraine will be using them (trenches etc) are already extensively mined and will need to be cleared up anyway ..
@LizWebsterSBF
@Nigel_Farage
Guys hands absolutely nails it ..the single best critique of brexit I have heard..brexit was never going to work, bc the only way to make it work, no one would ever have voted for (tony blair said exactly the same thing prior to the vote) ..its failure was guaranteed
@secretsqrl123
🇬🇧 one nation (moderate) conservative here ..100% agree…ukraine transcends petty political differences…this is literally about good vs evil..right vs wrong. ..about fundamental human values that we all share and can agree upon
@jaanus
That account is always consistently pushing an anti Ukraine message, albeit well camouflaged under lots of technical language to make it seem credible ..I defo think that is a Russian bot
@officejjsmart
I’ve been surprised that we haven’t seen large scale surrenders and desertions so far ..it must be clear to the troops on the ground that they’re just cannon fodder in a completely pointless war
@implausibleblog
dominic grieve is a serious high calibre one nation conservative ..until the Tories become the party of grieve / Clarke / Stewart again they won’t be getting my vote
@Lyla_lilas
@Bundeskanzler
and
@POTUS
…this is the terrible price brave Ukrainians are paying for the US and Germany slow walking weapons deliveries (always giving too little too late) …give them the weapons they need to win so that the sacrifice of these troops is not in vain ..
@DefenceU
Whilst at the same time scholz refuses to provide Taurus …it makes my blood boil…what a total disgrace of an individual ..although to be fair he has been true to his mantra of not wanting either side to win..these atrocities are the price of that policy..I hope he is proud
@DavidHenigUK
This is utterly humiliating ..anyone with even a basic understanding of the concept of inflation would immediately understand this has been wildly misrepresented..she presents misrepresented data from a discredited group from someone who isn’t an economist (macbride)
@anbacagh
I get it…As a 🇬🇧, when Queen Elizabeth II died, it was like a family member had died (for all of us)..bc she had always been there throughout all of our lives..a source of constancy , stability, and decency in an ever-changing world (that also overlapped generations)
@LouiseMensch
Totally with u on most of this..Meghan is a supreme narcissist (whilst I have a lot of time for princess Anne, William & Kate…they really get it and are fantastic public servants)
@snb19692
Good job Steve highlighting labours awful brexit policy (and also for having to put up with complete idiots like that bloke on our behalf) ..you’re a national treasure 👑
@jurgen_nauditt
If true, this would be brilliant ..well done Canada 🇨🇦 🫡 ..at the same time we have France and Greece blocking the EU from buying shells outside of europe for their own selfish short term reasons ..I’m struggling to think of anything more contemptible than that
@SaveFOM
they will be forced to shift when they find that the economy continues to relatively decline under them (all the grandiose talk won’t fix the issues of being outside the SM)
@Toriadus
@Bundeskanzler
I’m not German, but from the very beginning scholz clearly wanted a negotiated settlement and didn’t want Russia to lose (partly bc he is clearly rattled by russias ridiculous nuclear threats) ..to be fair he has brought Germany a long way from its outright pacifist position
@MosheYBernstein
@OwenJones84
He won’t ..Palestine is like an article of faith to the hard left…no matter what happens, he will find some way to justify it (as we have already seen with the Hamas pogrom)
In Mariupol, Chinese opera singer Wang-Fang sang Katyusha at the ruins of the drama theater in which Russia killed dozens to hundreds of people.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry called this an example of complete moral degradation and expects an explanation from China.
😤
@secretsqrl123
Behaviour of the Biden admin has been incredibly disappointing . The failure to decisively defeat Russia is making the west look weak and empowering all of the worst regimes on the planet to think that they can get away with whatever they want eg look now at Venezuela now
@ThatTimWalker
@artsmithdrums
The ‘conservative’ party no longer exists (after people like grieve, Stewart etc left)..what we have now is an authoritarian populist UKIP rabble who want to burn everything down ..can’t believe I’m going to say this but Sunaks government is MUCH worse than Johnson’s..it’s vile
@secretsqrl123
@WatchChad
Well said David ..ur a total legend …u represent the America the rest of the world loves and respects (which stands up for freedom against tyrants, commies and nazis)..
@CollinSLKoh
this is a dangerous irresponsible act of a hostile rogue nation ..Australian should either pull it’s ambassador for this or ban certain mineral exports needed by China (eg aluminium)..China has to incur a price for this belligerence or else it will only worsen
@PolyglotFella
I think ur right …indepdents must be looking at the behaviour of the GOP with horror (blocking any progress on the border just to please trump, being pro Putin etc)
@ThatTimWalker
Ed davey is a good man, but the lib Dems under him are invisible(campaigning nationally on local issues).He is not up to the could do the country a huge favour by breaking the brexit omertà & pledging to take UK back into the SM asap wth a Norway type deal
@P_Kallioniemi
@ShaykhSulaiman
@ThierryBreton
more disinformation accounts for the EU to take a look at. The EU has to either shut the site down or heavily regulate it as Musk cannot be trusted to act in a responsible way (in its current state, it is extremely dangerous for the health of European democracy)
@Anna_Soubry
@bbcemt
@ITVCentral
And to think the Tories used to be the party of small business ..now they’re a party of ukip / ‘tax cuts will pay for themselves’ fantasists
@Haggis_UK
Chris patton , major , ken Clarke , Rory Stewart, David gauke etc (quite frankly George Osborne & dvd Dave)..decent moderate, sensible conservatives …the current lot are a bunch of UKIP fantasist extremists who have trashed britains reputation, and it’s economy ..vote them out
