Let's be real @yvettecooper and @UKLabour and they're friends in the mainstream media are only doggedly attacking @SuellaBraverman because #Labour are incredibly vulnerable on the issue of immigration and migrant crossings.
That's what this is really about

@UKLabour and @Keir_Starmer have made incredible strides into the #RedWall, many thought #Starmer would struggle - mainly helped by Tory incompetence on the economy. Yet on immigration in this region, #Labour are seen as weak, especially on the crossings

All it would take is a regular campaign to equate @UKLabour to the illegal crossings, say a leaflet drop with the phrase "would you trust this woman to stop these boats" with pictures of the boats and @YvetteCooperMP,
She's already seen as soft touch remoaner.

Master of 'wedge issues', Lynton Crosby, has been attending Boris Johnson’s meetings in No 10.
The political strategist, whose advisory firm has represented tobacco as well as oil & gas interests, is at the heart of Johnson's political strategy.

Like many senior Tories, Crosby is a master of 'Divide & Rule', & an expert in the 'Dark Arts' of voter manipulation, infamous for his 'dead cat' strategy & the promotion of toxic & deliberately divisive 'wedge issues' - evidence of which is everywhere in Britain at the moment. 
A 'wedge issue' - a key component of the classic 'divide & rule' political strategy - is described as a political or social issue, often of a controversial or divisive nature, which splits apart a demographic or population group.
Looking forward to what should be an interesting discussion on how the aspirations of the #LevellingUpWhitePaper can be translated into meaningful change #WhatNextForLevellingUp
First panelist @KatieSchmuecker looks at the White Paper from the issue of #Poverty - says this is "not a White Paper for Poverty". The word only mentioned 9 times, mostly in the context of #FuelPoverty & international comparisons #WhatNextForLevellingUp
Schmuecker says #LevellingUp will not be achieved unless we meaningfully improve prospects of those at the bottom. Is sceptical that high productivity automatically means higher wages. Cites London which is the most productive, but most unequal, region #WhatNextForLevellingUp
I've been accumulating some #books for my #2022 #reading.

A thread! 🧵🧵🧵
Here's some of my selections:
“COVID-19: The Great Reset,” by Klaus #Schwaub – I need to know what he and that rascal #Soros are up to. This book was fully written and published by June 2020. I am nearly convinced these #Communist narratives and #COVID are manufactured by about 5-10 individuals.
“Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World,” by David Epstein
The Curse of 1933 strikes again. The most wasteful spender, the least rigorous accountant, the most venal, inconstant & short-termist of decision makers will now comandeer vast resources to lavish on pet projects, political boondoggles and so draw...

...more them -and the talent to use them- from the pursuit of greater productivity, tighter cost control, more flexible & immediate response for the voluntary customers’ needs by men and women themselves at risk if they choose wrongly -i.e., #entrepreneurs...
Echoing all the canards of the past 100 years, #BorisJohnson will now take Britain down the path of borrowing artificially cheap funds to plough into make-work projects and undertakings of dubious efficiency and elusive real return. Here is a #Conservative government..
So pleased for my new #NorthEast near neighbour @DehennaDavison!
A great maiden speech today. Continuing the positive, aspirational, new @Conservatives approach we saw across the #RedWall in #GE2019 - looking forward to hearing the 6 more new north east #MPs maiden speeches

Right to thank the many many people came to help @DehennaDavison - from the amazing @carriesymonds + #Dilyn the dog to former candidate @C_F_Adams to a host of #Yorkshire helpers and the @ToryReformGroup dream team / @NLandTories who both battled the downpours in #Tudhoe
Knew @DehennaDavison was going to win when #Scargill Drive in #Tudhoe (former colliery community) was so positive and pro @Conservatives 👍
