[thread] On this #HolocaustMemorialDay #HolocaustMemorialDay

I will start with the words of Maya Angelou
Those words taken from a chat between a poet and a comedian

And now to quote from the below

Its closing warning

" Many, many times since it all happened I have pondered that pair of great maxims, Principiis obsta and Finem respice—‘Resist the beginnings’ and ‘Consider the end.’ "

So on the power of words

Here is David Maxwell-Fyfe questioning Goering

I would like to thank @10DowningStreet @RishiSunak

And @Conservatives @CCHQPress

For the clip below from #PMQs on 25/1/2023

This was the *best* clip they could get from #PMQs

They think this shows Rishi Sunak in a positive light.

It doesn't

Let me explain why.
First of all you have to go back to PMQs to realise

That Sunak was flummoxed by several of the questions being about failings in the criminal justice system that his party have overseen for the past 13 years

Here's question 1
Here's question 2

I don't want to talk about @nadhimzahawi

I want to talk about @RishiSunak

But I think it is of "paramount" importance to focus on @10DowningStreet @RishiSunak

Let us go back in time to 23rd October 2022

And a promise

dailymail.co.uk/video/video/vi…
Now we move on to the 23rd January 2023

Now I transcribed that interview from Channel 4

Because I have questions

So many questions

Not of Nadhim Zahawi

But of Rishi Sunak

now this from a Thatcher acolyte is fascinating

apparently it is for Nile to make a decision what is worth police time

but first let's quote Thatcher
so let's go back in time 40 years to 1981

pacts.org.uk/40-years-of-uk…
"it was opposed by the Conservative Government and the Labour Official Opposition but, late in the evening of 28th July 1981, after 13 failed attempts by backbenchers in both Houses, a House of Lords amendment by Lord Nugent of Guildford, succeeded in the Commons. "

A maths question for @10DowningStreet @RishiSunak
on maths

if @RishiSunak is 100%

if @theresa_may is 14%

and the average is 46%

what is the question?
I will give you a hint

the answer lies in the question
"In the first interview, May gave explicit replies to only 14% of Marr’s questions. This contrasts with my previous analyses of 33 broadcast interviews with other British political leaders, where I found an average reply rate of 46%"

I agree with @trussliz

Do you?

"I’m afraid some of our hospitals are falling apart. The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn, near me – bits of the hospital are being held up by stilts. That is not good enough for patients across the NHS.”
