Journalist @therealSophieH asked a simple question: Will Brexit harm our supply of the vaccine. @AlokSharma_RDG just went off on one, for a minute and a half without directly answering the question. @SamCoatesSky also asked. Alok Sharma talked about how we've "ordered" them.🙄
Alok Sharma really filling everyone with confidence...
I asked whether 2nd referendum parties got a majority of the votes? No answer.
Tom defended our FPTP voting system. So I asked him which is the only other European country that uses FPTP. No Answer. (Belarus)
And yeah, I wasn't taking any **** in this one because it was 2 vs 1, and those two were Dan Wootton and Tom Harwood. Zero chance in hell I was letting myself get steamrolled by the two of them.
What do you do if you invite a Remainer on your radio show to face two Brexiters, expecting to double-team & destroy him, but he asks them a series of questions they're clearly unable to answer, making them both look silly?
President A: I'll only give the UK a trade deal if the NHS pays more for its medicines.
President B: I'll only give the UK a trade deal if it maintains frictionless trade with its main trade partner.
Guess which president Brexiteers want. Any *they're* ones who love the UK? 🤔
I mean, F***ING Seriously!
You've got one guy demanding we increase the price of medicines during a pandemic, and the other saying "OK, just try not to start another civil war in your own back yard and you can have a deal"... And the Brexiteers are like..."AMERICA FIRST!"
What!?
I'm genuinely wracking my brain to find a flaw in this statement:
Any Brexiteer who would choose Trump over Biden when it comes to post brexit deals is intentionally choosing to bring sickesss and death upon the UK over Peace and prosperity.
This government has been dragged kicking & screaming from U-Turn to U-Turn by Marcus Rashford, Keir Starmer, Public Anger, Andy Burnham, and Student Protests...
Tories can't handle pandemics BECAUSE they're Tories.
Getting through a pandemic requires strict obedience to common rules and restrictions, but as explained below by a Tory MP, the extreme individualism of the Conservatives goes against that.
Their Tory instincts told them NOT to do these things.
▪️ Pay people's wages
▪️ Mandate individual sacrifice for the common good. (mask/lockdown)
▪️ Intervene to ensure equality (a-levels)
▪️ Listen to experts (this government especially)
Hello UK,
Biden won because everyone who wanted rid of the blond lying racist dictator, put their political preferences aside and voted for the only alternative leader on the board who could beat him.
That's a lesson that all Labour factions, Libs and Greens need to learn.
Above⬆️ I called for people from different parties & factions to vote tactically as we're all on the same side.
The replies: "You're one to talk after you... *checks notes* told people from different parties & factions to vote tactically, while *we* were calling them the enemy."
Every time I do this I get a wave of "but it's our money" or "but they did / haven't done this".
I criticise the Tories every day. I know who and what they are. But we're stuck with them for 4 more years and we need to do ALL we can to lead them the right way: Stick...Carrot...
You think I LIKE thanking the person who used blatant deceit to get Brexit over the line, knowing it would plunge the country into permanent chaos?
To everyone who got annoyed with me about the poppies thing.
My tweet obviously implied poppies are a worthy cause.
Watch this... and calm down.
Let's break it down
1⃣
Jeremy was just playing devil's advocate with his top line but I'll correct it anyway: The poppy is different because it's something we all share.
Racial inequality hurts all races. The tensions in society harm the society. We all share a need for equality.
2⃣
I say that if poppies can be treated as an moral absolute which therefore cannot be questioned, then so can equality.
Carole says poppies are not a moral absolute (i.e. can be criticised).
Then she almost immediately condemns me on the belief that I had criticised poppies.
