I think that was after the event - so making the most of the situation in which she had to govern
More despicable were the vans sent round poor areas to scare unauthorised migrants into leaving - but compared to what the Tories have done since that now seems mild
But these are human actions of normal people (OK, excepting the #vacuumOfIntegrity and #frogEyedGrifter ) - you are unrealistic about human behaviour

"I think it's worrying that it's only today that COBRA is going to meet"
This from a man who first joined the Cabinet under the #vacuumOfIntegrity who failed to attend the first 3 COBRA meetings at the start of the pandemic because he was too busy finishing his mediocre biography of Churchill ....
-
...Keeping sentient human beings basically kicking their heeels for years at taxpayer expense is a form of expensive cruelty that served nobody except Tories' own very short-term political interests...
We may have rid ourselves of the lying scumbag #vacuumOfIntegrity in September 2022 but the injection of delusional populist nonsense he orchestrated ever since he was Mayor of London remains to poison our politics....
Rant over..... for now!

The word is "toupée"
And I beleive what the Orange One has is a comb-over, most likely enabled by a weave or hair implants
Remember Berlesconi? There is somethng about egocentric right-wing populists that makes them obsess about their hair
See also - Johnson, the #vacuumOfIntegrity, who musses his hair up deliberately before going into a public space....

@cstross @CrypticMirror @skjeggtroll
If you say so - others claim it was the image of the leader himself who repelled many voters
Either way, events conspired to enable the #vacuumOfIntegrity to do his worst - and that would not have obtained had the membership been more sensible in their choice of leader in 2015...
-
...according to the booming-voiced specialist in advising tax havens for large fees, Geoffrey Cox....
Actually #labour in power is a much better respector of our UK constitution than the #Tories - you do remember the illegal prorogation of Parliament by the #vacuumOfIntegrity and all the abuse of power in the last 14 years?
Not to mention the failed attempt at voter suppression via the unnecessary imposition of #idCards

No doubt #sunak would like those additional 4 TV debates to be hosted by GBNews.....
The favourite to win never wants these TV appearences - I recall C4 empty-chaired the #vacuumOfIntegrity in 2019....
Demanding 6 in 6 weeks is definitely over the top - the UK does not have a presidency
-
@LillyHerself @PaulaToThePeople
It is a common slur - here in the UK the former PM the #vacuumOfIntegrity routinely miss-named the @SNP as the "Scottish NationalIST Party" to slur them
Nationalism in my book is a term that elevates the state, and those who control the state, to a position of absolute power over the actuvities and citizens of that state. ...
-
and another one....
Boris Johnson broke rules over #Venezuela talks
The former PM failed to clarify his relationship with a hedge fund that set up talks with #Maduro
Ex-ministers must not take new jobs for two years after leaving office without Acoba's advice (which the #vacuumOfIntegrity did not seek)
No surprise, really - a chaotic but enormous ego like his is never going to ask permission for anything
What a parcel of rogues has governed since 2010
-
The right wing press are again trying to get #Rayner removed from the #labour front bench
Her statement: "If I committed a criminal offence, I would of course do the right thing and step down. The British public deserves politicians who know the rules apply to them" is careful
The only way it is clear she committed a criminal offence is if prosecuted & found guilty - which happened with #Sunak & the #vacuumOfIntegrity in the recent past, but IMO unlikely here
-
Dunno - but then our #vacuumOfIntegrity did something similar at a party in an Italian Villa hosted by a Russian KGB oligarch..... if there is enough money...
The worst thing about #Trump is he is driven by emotion & ego and a paranoid extremist with no understanding of science
He is both more likely to leave Europe to its fate and start a nuclear war
-
15 schools for £105M? I make that £7m / school or £52,500 /special needs pupils - about the level of one year's fees at a public school
Somehow I doubt this will happen.... don't you?
Maybe RAAC can be substituted with a cheaper option?
The spirit of #vacuumOfIntegrity & the "40 new hospitals" lie lives on like a ghoul in the "modern" #toriesOut

The #toriesOut saddled themselves with a lemon in #sunak - all shiny & techbro but a lousy politician
TBF the pot was pretty empty after the 2019 #vacuumOfIntegrity purge , 14 years of misgovernment and the disaster that was #truss
It will take more than one election cycle to render the Tories sane again....
-
Well I think #starmer plans for the future - I still remember "I'll leave this matter - for now" when grilling the #vacuumOfIntegrity over #partygate. In retrospect there was menace there
So I think both #30pLee and #truss will prove the gifts that keep on giving in terms of adverse insight into the extremism now woven into the #toriesOut faithful...
-
I think in #PMQs Starmer reverts to being a barrister with a hostile witness
But frankly his main plus is that he is a plain man not a sort of showman - not a reflection of the #vacuumOfIntegrity or some crap tribute act like #sunak
I reckon he has a chance of outliving all the current crop of top Tories - they really are a shower!
-
#Sunak had significant doubt over #Rwanda plan, No 10 documents prepared in March 2022 ( shortly before deal with Rwanda to process migrants was signed) suggest
They describe a significant difference of view between No 10 & 11 Downing Street on the effectiveness of the proposed scheme saying chancellor (#sunak) believed the "deterrent won't work"
Perhaps he'd heard of previous wizard wheezes spunked up by #vacuumOfIntegrity - #gardenBridge #estuaryAirport
-
The #vacuumOfIntegrity accused devolved administrations of "leaking" from #Cobra meetings - describing this as a "problem" and that they had their own electorates in mind
One of the lessons, he suggested, was the need to have a single message
In other words - because he made a mess of handling #covid he thinks that #devolution of health should be reversed in any future crisis...
-
'First time Boris has been early for anything'
The #vacuumOfIntegrity arrives very early for his examination by the #covidInquiry to avoid all the "boooos!" - it took everyone by surprise
Let him have it when he leaves!
Worst PM of all time.... -
"yesterday's chart-topper"? Dishy Rishi?
The highest he ever got was #3 - after the #vacuumOfIntegrity and mad #truss
He is now #2 behind the LOTO ..... ( #Starmer - arguably the Kraftwerk of UK politics....)
-
Well the #vacuumOfIntegrity had Lord #Frost screw up #brexit so there is recent precedent .... arguably that did more damage than #cameron could manage to the UK in the 11 months this lot have left (please do not take this as a challenge #toriesOut !)
Having a major job taken by an appointed member of the #lords will not endear #sunak & co to the wider electorate..... it adds to the stink of decay....
-
Boris #Johnson: Tories 'drifting to defeat' under Rishi #Sunak
Better thean the entire country crashing and burning under the #vacuumOfIntegrity ...
the idea he might have been re-elected is delusional
-
Like #trump (who suggested drinking bleach) - the #vacuumOfIntegrity is an arrogant idiot with no understanding of science....
-
Not that interested in palace intrigue
Drowning St was totally dysfunctional under the #vacuumOfIntegrity - no surprise there!
-
Well for me the #vacuumOfIntegrity has no redeeming features - but at least he was elected. Whereas #cummings could not expect to retain a deposit were he to stand..... really he has no more authority than the PM's wife.....
-
Well I might agree - but that hardly makes the #vacuumOfIntegrity unusual among PMs - the same accusation was made about Cherie Blair
I'd say that is more a judgement on the PM than his partner - he should have kept his domestic life separate
But there are many worse aspects of his behaviour - and focussing on her in that way I suggest says more about the commentator than her...
-
We had no serious #Covid plan, top Boris Johnson aide tells inquiry
The surprise is only that anyone expected the #vacuumOfIntegrity had any serious plan for anything ..... anyone paying attention knew how utterly hopeless he was - and totally unsuited to leadership at any level
-
@MattMastodon @Oldmanstan @krans @OliverNoble
They have #rightPopulism - in the right political atmoshere that allows dangerous people achieve power. #Brexit was just an opening shot.... we must not let the likes of the frog-faced one and #vacuumOfIntegrity ever get away with it again
-
CW: Politics: Sunak the Mr Ben of politics.
#sunak is trying the "posing as a war leader" bit that the #vacuumOfIntegrity did to stave off the inevitable.....it possibly gave him a few months stay of execution
Neither, of course is a war leader - just silly wannabes
-
#starmer has got (slightly) better at delivering a speech - he is definitely better than #sunak
I would have likes more on governance though - we need to ensure no repeat of the #vacuumOfIntegrity is ever possible
-
Well actually Starmer got the #vacuumOfIntegrity to lie on the record in the HoC - and later that caused his removal from the house
