Serious question. How are parents across the land supposed to teach their children moral values and that bullying is wrong and has consequences if the prime minister and the Home Secretary and all the Tory MPs say that Bullying is Acceptable?
Someone mentioned mp expenses earlier. Indeed the public was outraged at that scandal because it was about the poor standards of public behaviour. The Tories have since taken this degradation of standards to new depths and the public doesn’t seem to care.
If people who hold the highest office in the land have appalling standards and no moral code which they follow publicly, this just gives the green light to everyone else to behaving appallingly at will. It creates a Wild West of Ethics!
Of course it occurs to me it also undermines teachers who are responsible for imposing a code of conduct on their children.

Learned something new watching #hospital which was about the amazing organ transplant work they do. It seems that Eu governments pay for their citizens to get specialist treatment in the UK, so putting money into the system and also sometimes supply organs for British patients.
There is also a reciprocal arrangement whereby British patients can be sent to the EU. These cooperative arrangements have averted premature deaths.
So after all that scaremongering that brexiters did about health tourism making Brits think they are being had by those forens, it seems in fact, the NHS - and therefore British patients and taxpayers - benefit in a very genuine way from overseas patients.

I would like to know why for several years the business people invited onto news programs have been only the deluded idiots who did not understand this basic truth. The @BBC in particular made it look again and again like it was a 50 50 split on opinion on this.
In fact I bet it was probably, amongst business people, more like 80-90 percent of the opinion that Brexit is costly and will leave our businesses significantly worse off. And only about 5 percent who are absolutely convinced it is the bees knees!
The reality in business and industry is that there was no finely balanced opinion. Overwhelming consensus was, in the most simplistic terms, that #brexit was never going to be something which helps business or industry and was only going to cause damage.

For more than 4 years we have warned you that brexit and leaving the EU simply diminishes us, diminishes our influence in the world. We were told by brexiters that this was wrong, that we had to believe, the brexit would make us more global not less. Thread 1/
Your stupid promises are in tatters. With every decision this Brexit government makes, it isolates the UK further, diminishes its standing in the world further. The press with Murduch at the helm has done the same. 2/
We haven’t quite got leaders who lock children in cages (yet) but the Murdoch press have been investing in the ugly part of people’s nature that makes them frightened of poor wretched souls in boats and persuaded politicians to stand on beaches ranting angrily about foreigners.

One of the reasons I have been supporting the Biden/Harris campaign is that a Biden win, a Trump defeat, sends a message to the scourge of populists we have seen grab power across the world. #europeforbiden . /thread
We have learned that populists have to lie and cheat to win, that’s the only way they CAN win. We know that from the bus, the secret Facebook ads in the referendum, the neverending Trump lies, the broken promises from the last few years - oven ready deals, fake news tweets . /1
Populist lies work by persuading voters to lie to themselves. “It’s not your fault it’s his fault, the other one, the one that’s different to you.” “Don’t worry blame the other guy and vote for me and I will give you everything you want.” /2

All I will say about the latest labour /corbyn debacle is that it grieves me this has blown up right now when there are extremely important things happening. A gradual power grab by a government trying to move us to authoritarianism by stealth, a pandemic out of control 1/
We are about to find ourselves with no trade agreement with the EU, no FTAs with any really big partners to help mitigate the effects of that and we are heading because of all this for a demolition ball swinging full force into our economy. 2/
With all this and more hanging over our heads, Corbyn decided to display atrocious political judgement yet again and labour is once again being dragged away from doing it’s central current job that we actually pay it for - of being an effective opposition. 3/
