* Against women's rights/equality

* Anti-sex education
* Climate change denier

Boom! My Brexity "nah, it will be great" brother just uttered these words to me: "You were right, sis, and I was wrong - it was all a pack of lies and I fell for it."
Believe me, I take no delight in the predicted outcomes, but it is gratifying to hear Brexiter remorse.
In the left is Rupert Soames CEO of Serco which was gifted the Test & Trace contract by his Tory pals and who earned £5.2 MILLION in 2018.
On the right is an NHS nurse who has been told her contribution over the last year is worth just 1%...

I spent 6 years thinking Cameron was the worst PM in living history, 3 years believing he'd been eclipsed by May, but Johnson makes them look like saints.
A coward hiding from public scrutiny, leaving his lackeys to front the crisis, so he can swoop in like a hero on Sunday.
Best comment of the day from a German client here in Frankfurt: “we still hoping for the best for our British friends & want you to stay, but, my god, your politicians are a bunch of tossers!”

My cancer is getting worse and I don’t want to die, but I certainly don’t want to shuffle off this mortal coil whilst the Tories are still in government. So I’ll keep fighting for my life and to see the end of the corruption, lies and outright destruction of the fabric of the UK.
You voted Leave because the EU was undemocratic?
You voted Leave because you wanted Parliament to be sovereign?
You wanted Brexit with all of the same benefits, without the cost?
Now open your eyes to what we've got.

Press Briefings?
They've become farcical; just repetitive twaddle spouted by various ministers who speak a great deal, but say very little of substance. And don't get me started on not answering the bloody question...
Yesterday I posted about not having an annual contract renewed due to

The comments made by the "we won/get over it" brigade are, in equal measure, dismissive, abusive & ignorant.
I didn't share for sympathy, but my god, the vitriol. The UK is in real trouble
The idea that Nigel Farage might be 'honoured' & given a Knighthood makes me feel physically sick.
Not only is he a proven liar, far from service to his country, he's responsible for hate, division and enabling racism.
#MondayMorning
Taxi driver in S Wales today was Shirley. Shevoted Leave to save the vital manufacturing jobs in the area. She’s now extremely angry & I quote: “Those bastards Farage & Johnson lied to decent people who just want to earn a crust, it was obviously never about the EU”. Go, Shirley!
I don't think I like the UK anymore. Just seen research showing that over 80% of Brits think this Gov't was right to reduce overseas aid. And we were promised post-Brexit, we'd be 'Global Britain' - what a joke. A small island with too many small minds.
#GlobalCitizen
Just had a client tell me that they can't issue my annual contract to work in France (runs from March 31st) as they have no idea what the Brexit deal will mean.
I am fuming - I've had my citizenship & rights stolen and now part of my livelihood... This is on you
@BorisJohnson
Here’s a solution for those who still want Brexit: Set up a process to remove their European Citizenship, adjust their tax code so they don’t have to pay the 34p a day, give them a blue bloody passport & just leave the rest of us to enjoy EU membership - sorted!
#RemainMakesSense
My taxi driver into Brum voted Leave & politely asked me why I was going to protest against Brexit. I explained & he said “I’ve got 2 teenage sons, let me drop you off, then I’m going home to pick up my lads & we’ll join you”! Keep talking about

I am convinced a Brexit deal will be cobbled together in the next few days, which will pass in Parliament as Tories & Labour are terrified of likely decimation at European Elections.

I object strongly to the BBC & other sycophantic media outlets repeatedly stating that 'the whole nation' is in mourning - no we are not.

Just watched the news with my 23 year old son & his partner & saw the performance of Farage & the Brexit Party MEPs at the European Parliament.
As the segment ended, he simply said: "What a bunch of c*nts. My generation will see people like him & the Tories off - they're toxic"!
Nurses refused a pay rise. Universal Credit slashed by £1,040. MPs get pay raise of £3,050. This is "levelling up" the country?
Perhaps they think nurses can live off claps?
I'm about to lose my sh*t completely. The new mantras are 'Brexit at any cost' & 'you can't put a price on sovereignty'. Well, I can & so can millions of others - jobs, incomes, health, rights, security, food, medicines, freedoms & for some, life itself.
@UKLabour
where are you?
Why are people are shocked by the selfish panic-buying in UK?
The majority of voters supported the Tories in last 3 General Elections. They didn’t care about the vulnerable then, nor do they now - always hoping cuts to services & benefits will affect others, never themselves.
Was out in the village wearing this today and an elderly lady on a Zimmerframe approached me. I immediately started to apologise for offending her, but she said "no need to apologise, can you get me one in Welsh?!"
Of course, I am delighted to oblige!

Anyone else noticed that a number of the arch Brexiters like Martin, Ashley & Dyson are either profiteering or being utters tw*ts to their staff right now?
No wonder they supported Brexit to escape rights & regulations, enabled by the Tories to line their over-stuffed pockets.
If I were the Chancellor, I would offer all those aged 55+ who lose their jobs their state pension early. That would also benefit those who are younger as the labour market would have less supply.
Thoughts?
I’m sitting having a coffee in Oswestry, which used to be a thriving, vibrant market town. But after 13 years of Tory devastation, it’s virtually empty. Everyone who is walking past looks grey & defeated. It’s how I remember the dying days of Thatcherism. We need change & soon.

Sad that it takes a party in a garden to get the majority of this country angry. We're more upset about proof that
