@statsguy @newlouisallaway @djstreethawk
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....

I particularly like the #vacuumOfIntegrity use of "humble" ..... I am not sure whether he realises this word is humourous when he uses it about himself.... or not
In fact., am never sure whether this man knows what he is or not..... the fact he keeps coming back for more suggests not. But it might be an elaborate joke - at our expense
-
But that's not the fault of #labour or #starmer - that lies squarely at the feet of #frogEyedGrifter, #vacuumOfIntegrity & the populist Right who led an army of prejudiced nativists who won the #leaveEU vote in 2016 - & the subsequent catastrophic maladministration of the #toriesOut govts - re-elected several times - in smaching our EYU membership
All Starmer is doing is pointing out it is not possible to reverse that destruction anytime soon. And he's correct
-
... #votesAt16 ARE in the 2024 manifesto - as is some reform to the #Lords
That and improved controls on behviour in govt to prevent the BS the #vacuumOfIntegrity inflicted on us all will be good
-
But less than would be wasted on #rwanda nonsense if the #toriesOut WON the election
Fortunately that appears unlikely, and this heamorrhaging of money on a stupid idea the #vacuumOfIntegrity made up when he was not dreaming of another impossibvle bridge can come to a halt.....

@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...

I think calling the richest PM we have had in over a century a "pound shop" anything is a bit..... rich (!)
He is certainly a glutton for punishment - we did not see the #vacuumOfIntegrity volunteering for such exposure to the public
I'd rather call him "ersatz" - the real full fat right-wing populist a la Mussolini is the frog-eyed grifter - this one seeks to harvest some of his tarnished glitter....to no effect - he is toast

...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

Well, that is how the world is - most people are not paying attention or distracted by grifters like Farage & the #vacuumOfIntegrity ...
Not unique to the UK - its everywhere. I mean, how can anyone claiming to be "christian" vote for #trump ?
-
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. ...

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

Shameful to call for #UK to end arms sales to #Israel says #vacuumOfIntegrity
Any still harbouring a delusion this pile of excrement is on the side of the angels might finally realise the error of their ways reading this
Equally anyone with any ambivalence about the morality of #Netenyahu govt might find the scales fall from their eyes seeing that same sack of ordure supports israeli brutality against children as they exterminate those they regard as less than human

Boat Race: Oxford rowers criticise sewage levels in River Thames
Now some posh boys from their own social class have criticised the shit state of the Thames, maybe the #toriesOut will regret not doing enough about it sooner...
Rather as the #vacuumOfIntegrity showboated on the 2012 olympics #livingstone won for #london, #labour will be creditted when the #superSewer cleans up our river
-
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

Blackpool South by-election to take place in May
May 2nd - when the #toriesOut will get a real pasting in the local elections - is a good day to bury bad news
My money is on hilarious #susanHall doing even worse than hopeless #shaunBailey in 2021
I do think Saddiq as an early post-election act should declare he will not stand for a 4th term.....let someone else take over for #labour in 2029 - after the #vacuumOfIntegrity, no #toriesOut stands a chance as London mayor

A real attempt to get the tousle-haired #vacuumOfIntegrity back to westminster would make my week complete
Even my most right-wing brother is not voting Tory next time - they are sooooooooo done!
I think this #sexist #racist donor will have real cut-through whatever happens - cut him loose & return his cash & #reformUK steal support from the Right (& the funding); tolerate him and droves of floating voters will give up holding their noses
-
#vacuumOfIntegrity flew to #Venezuela for "unofficial talks" last month. There has been some speculation on who paid for this trip (by "private jet", natch!) and why the trip was made
I can see what the tousle-haired tosser's motivation is - he wants to know how someone who totally wrecked his country whilst in charge has nevertheless managed to stay in power for 11 years....

CW: UK politics, tax
You want to keep the Right out of power for as long as possible? Never, ever, change the UK electoral system to be #PR - it risks ushering in an era with the #frogEyedGrifter as Foreign Secretary and the #vacuumOfIntegrity back as PM
See also - Italy, Hungary, Israel - all PR elected far right populist led govts
Be careful what you wish for - "things could always get worse!"
-
WTF would a rich & unscrupulous non-democrat with an ego the size of an elephant & a reputation for dishonesty want to meet.......
..... a failed #populist leader from a country that has cut itself from its neighbours?
Easier to look in a mirror....

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...

#RAAC More than 100 school buildings will be rebuilt or refurbished
All affected schools will receive funding to permanently remove it - although unions say the announcement includes no new money
234 schools & colleges confirmed to contain the concrete
This looks very much like the "40 new hospitals" that the #vacuumOfIntegrity promised
Safe to make promises of magical funding given they are about to be pitched out of office
-
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 facing major Tory revolt over #Rwanda
Given he never believed in the policy (a brain-fart by #vacuumOfIntegrity when caught in a tight spot), it's a sign of how imcompetent a politician Sunak is he is being skewered by both sides of his party over this
Nobody honest thinks this will make much difference to numbers reaching the UK without permission (who anyway form a small % of those arriving with visas) - yet this is the hill he chooses to die on? #toriesOut
-
#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...
