Today Dominic Raab blamed the EU for the fact that the DUP are holding Northern Ireland's government hostage over a Brexit Deal he negotiated and got elected on.
He wasn't challenged about this on either #Ridge or #Raworth.
🔻Unlawfully shut Parliament to take power
🔻Unlawfully sent 25,000 untested patients into care homes. (Today's High Court ruling)
🔻Unlawfully failed to disclose the Covid contracts they gave to Tories
🔻Unlawfully partied in lockdown
How many people died due to Tory Crimes? 🤔
The "Party of Law and Order" unlawfully shut parliament in order to run down the clock towards No-Deal, and avoid letting people vote on their Brexit deal.
The Tories have spent months saying that there's a ceiling on what they can do to help people.
And NOT ONE OF YOU is asking whether the Tories bear some responsibility for how low that ceiling is now.
Feels like basic journalism to me. 🤷🏿
FACT:
Every penny they wasted on dodgy contracts & every pound lost on Brexit, could have kept people's homes that little bit warmer and their kids' bellies a little bit fuller.
By not making that link, you're abetting that suffering after-the-fact. #peston#Ridge#kuenssberg
1) Imagine if Will Smith just walked up, leaned into Chris Rock's mic & chillingly: "keep my wife's name out your mouth".
Violence was not the only option to "stand up for his wife".
2) Rock DESERVING a slap for ridiculing a medical condition, DOESN'T make it a good thing to do.
But this is twitter, so the nuance above has no place here.
It's either Chris Rock should press charges for assault, or Will Smith should have put him in a coma.
The Tories are acting like they're OPPOSED to an oligarchy of wealthy elites who fraudulently influence government policy while pocketing public money, at the expense of citizens. 🤔
