Quite a letter - castigating Johnson's policies: Rwanda deportations, Privatisating #Channel4, ban on noisy protests, impossibility of building nuclear power plant in 1 year. The problem is Norman voted for all of the above, and now realises he may lose his seat.#ConfidenceVote
You need to click the link to read Jesse Norman's letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson as Norman has turned off the function of writing comments over his tweet -- 🙄--->
Jessie Norman goes on to say Boris Johnson is using culture wars to divide the nation while trying to import elements of a presidential system -- but Johnson has no mandate to be a president - he is an MP...
Norman has done more than write a letter withdrawing confidence in Johnson, he has thrown down the gauntlet, provided every one with the key points of why the Tory Party should be voted out of office at the next election. Jessie Norman's letter has come too late to save himself..

Last summer Keir Starmer, UK Labour leader, made headlines saying he would listen to the people. The problem was when he came to Stroud, he didn’t meet the public or the democratically elected respected Labour leader of the council nor any of the district councillors.
Local Stroud people discovered Keir Starmer was in Stroud by his photo published in the local paper of him meeting nurses at Stroud Hospital which was odd because Stroud Hospital was closed at the time for refurbishment.
It became apparent Keir Starner’s visit to Stroud was an orchestrated photo opportunity to look as if he had met and listened to the people, that he cared about the local NHS hospital and health care services. But he did not meet let alone listen to any of the people in Stroud.

Tragedy - the Afghan guards of the British embassy, many UK Afghan interpreters, UK Afghan dual nationals, 70+ Afghan Chevening scholars & many more have not been evacuated. Ben Wallace, MoD, Priti Patel HO did not prioritise to get them a flight at Kabul airport
A details account - "a last-ditch attempt to evacuate all the British embassy guards on one of the final flights out of Afghanistan has failed, leaving them increasingly frightened about their future." theguardian.com/world/2021/aug…
"GardaWorld, which employed about 200 Afghan staff on contracts to protect the British embassy in Kabul, arranged 10 buses to collect their former employees to take them to the airport before dawn on Thursday."

The second time Ben Wallace has misrepresented the situation in Kabul, Afghanistan that I'm aware of. The first was when he confirmed to the BBC that the Afghan guards at the British Embassy were to be evacuated when they hadn't received any help. Now this with Pen Farthing.
Interesting, in 2016 Tory MP Ben Wallace was 1 of 72 Conservative MPs who voted against Labour's amendment to require private landlords to make their homes "fit for human habitation". Wallace personally derived an income from renting out property - according to the register.
Ben Wallace voted 15x against a right to remain for EU nationals already in living in the UK.

UK would've locked down early. Test, trace contacts & isolate immediately in place, NHS properly funded with PPE & 60,000+ lives & millions of jobs saved. Imagine if Guardian had not run a divisive, biased campaign against Corbyn for 2 years. "Imagine all the people living life"
Here is a long thread 1-23 by me identifying one Guardian article in August 2018 to illustrate a truly manufactured, disgraceful bias again Jeremy Corbyn. Guardian politics team churned out several of these every day.
There were several academic studies decrying the collective press /media bias against Jeremy Corbyn yet the MSM continued, the Guardian at speed sometimes three articles against Jeremy Corbyn a day, independent.co.uk/voices/jeremy-…

Heartbroken about this. A remarkable journalist, a remarkable woman. Deborah Orr always dared to write on the more sensitive, complex issues with such insight and wisdom. A genuine loss to all - gone far too soon. My condolences to her family and her sons. theguardian.com/media/2019/oct…
We messaged each other on Twitter over the years. Me telling her how much I loved her articles; making request on subjects no one else would do, only to discover she was working on it. Most upsetting was the current Guardian editor ending her column. I'll never understand why. /2
Deborah started to write for the i newspaper in 2018 & began her memoir. One difficult subjects she courageously took on, which displayed her fierce limitless compassion - Shamima Begum, the British ISIS wife. Here is Deborah arguing for her return. /3 inews.co.uk/opinion/shamim…

Today's Guardian article against the Labour leader. Here's why I don't believe it: Poverty & austerity were #1 decisive issue in UK Brexit vote. Unless the 1,034 Labour members polled were those most affected, it's not clear if their views now changed. 1/ theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
LSE-London School of Economics Blog: Following the #EURef in 2016 an important cross-cutting observation is that Leave voting areas had been “left behind” from globalization, with the local population having been particularly reliant on the welfare state. 2/
