  1. “‘Privatisation premium’: billions from UK energy bills paid to shareholders. Analysis reveals sum equal to 24.2% of average bill taken as pre-tax profits by the major energy industries last year, rather than being reinvested. UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.” And why is Choo Choo #Portillo partly responsible for this robbery not in prison? #Privatisation

  2. “UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation. Analysis reveals ‘privatisation premium’ of £250 per household per year paid to owners of water, rail, bus, energy and mail services since 2010.” And yet #Portillo who is part responsible for this mess is all over our TV like a rash. The rewards of failure. #Privatisation

  3. Punctual departure and a 15min underground ride through the Zaragoza stations of #Portillo, Goya and #Miraflores. Out of the tunnel into the Ebro plain towards Huesca. UIC electrified single track next to us, used by (few) #AVE through services to #Huesca. The train is pretty full, about 40 people in my carriage, so maybe 80 in total.

  4. #UKPol #lunatics #asylum #starmer The #economic recovery is going to centre on theme parks. Lewis Carrol couldn't have dreamed this up. Not only a #LINO but an eejit too! Check the photo, far left, WTF is he doing there? A Tory Grandee no less #Portillo . #Rachel from accounts looks like a middle aged groupie to boot. Yeuch.

  5. Watching Michael Portillo filming something at the Shrewsbury Battlefield. Making me think of the phrase " #Portillo moment" which I hope we'll see repeated for many Tory MPs soon.

  6. Great results in #wellingborough and #Kingswood for #labour

    The former the second biggest swing from #toriesOut to Labour in any post-war election

    The latter bodes well for prospects of a #portillo moment for #reesMogg - part of Kingswood moves into the seat he currently represents - we can but hope!

    Rather gives the lie to recent events having a significant adverse impact on prospects for the #2024GE

    #starmer will be strolling into Downing St this year!

    It's been so long!

    I dunno - I am simply amazed that Fareham elects this MP - I used to live near there (not actually in the constituency) and it did not strike me as that neanderthal a place... goes to show how wrong I can be, but if there is a place I could wish to serve a #portillo moment at #2024GE.....

  8. @macja Such shame. Wouldn't it be great to get #Portillo to do a single programme on your single working train line to enthuse your government with the glamour of rail tourism and rail travel youtube.com/watch?v=ViFBnp8eA8

  9. @AlexGallagher

    I would be wary relying on a single #poll - especially in a smaller, more cohesive society like #scotland - where one major story can move votes significantly

    I would expect the #snp to recover somewhat beforee the #2024GE

    The #toriesOut however - north & south of the border - are definitely toast and we have the potential for multiple #portillo moments, which I look forward to with some enthusiasm

  10. #JeremyHunt ‘set to #quit as MP’ in fear of a #Portillo moment

    The chancellor will stand down before the election as likelihood of defeat in new Surrey seat looms, senior Tories say

    @rhys @matthewtoad43

    Well we each only live in one constituency so our impact on #toriesOut prospects is a bit limited

    As long as they are safely far away from power I prefer the nutters - more amusing

    But they'll not be out of power for ever so whilst it might be duller, on balance I would prefer the Rees-Mogg, Redland, Swayn and Dorries of this world exitted parliament to be replaced by sane MPs

    I wonder - could the #libDems expel Moggy? That would be a real #portillo moment....
