Major nerve touched, clearly. 🤦🏻‍♂️

No one says Britain isn’t generous, we believe our government is ungenerous. And that it has fostered a climate of division and xenophobia.

The rest of it is just a theatrical performance for his colleagues.

Insincere.
A calm, sober, detailed speech would have been so much more persuasive. They just don’t get it. Playing to their ever-dwindling base, the 32-34% we keep seeing in the polls.
Someone should set it to music to reflect its cabaret performance vibe.
By the way, this utterly hysterical performance was a response to a serious point raised by @lisanandy about how you can’t expect people who have been bombed out of their house to upload water bills they don’t have to a 50 page visa form from an Internet cafe in a war zone.

Lord Frost negotiated and hailed the ‘brilliant deal’ he now says was ‘unfairly imposed on the UK’. It was a British idea. It was admittedly so bad we couldn’t even sell English sausages to Northern Ireland, but they all waved it at us with their flags for weeks on end. Sit down.
This pompous empty hoover bag now says that Putin got the upper hand because Britain ‘capitulated’ to Greta Thunberg, a proposition so utterly ridiculous it could become a Spectator article, and no doubt will. How do these people even dress themselves? #idiocracy
And this unelected non entity would like to lecture you on democracy and national sovereignty, and believes that having negotiated one of the worst deals in global diplomatic history he is now some expert on climate change and energy policy. My postman has more considered views.

A woman has stormed into the main evening news bulletin in Russia to tell viewers they’re being lied to. Sheer bravery.
#StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦
And here is her name. She works at the station. ‘They can’t put us all in prison’, she says. A hero.
Whilst you are here giving this another push see @sarahchantrey pinned tweet and details of a brilliant effort being planned here to get refugees to safety, please support if you can. 👇👇👇

I will never forgive anyone who makes kids like this wait a second too long for safe haven. It is time this country found its humanity. Stop waving flags, start waiving visas, and make us proud, not red with shame & rage.

Watch this until the penny drops.

#Putin wanted a weaker EU, and a broken UK.

Therefore, Putin wanted #Brexit. Putin’s coterie infiltrated every corner of Britain’s political, commercial & cultural life. Now Farage et al are ambivalent about #Ukraine️.

Join the bloody dots, it really isn’t hugely complicated.
Lebedev, Murdoch, and Farage. I want my country back. #BrexitReality

🧵 Go to Google maps. Find any Russian restaurant, shop, business premises. Leave a 5 ⭐️ review, so as not to affect their business or search ranking, as this isn’t their fault. Paste the message below in Russian. It tells them what Putin is doing, evading his media censorship.👇

Было хорошо! Однако, Путин испортил нам настроение, вторгшись в Украину. Восстаньте против своего диктатора, прекратите убивать невинных людей! Ваше правительство лжет вам. Восстаньте!
