I’m watching, on delay, @SuellaBraverman on @bbclaurak this morning. What a liar, what a fake, what nonsense she utters, no end of squealing and misbehaviour. She should be on a boat in the channel, experiencing the wrath of the sea. Ruanda! Deterrent! “Evil people smugglers”!… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
She should be on the cross of public opinion. What drivel, what … This is insupportable. “Cohorts of people”. Who does she think she is? We are not stupid. The ear rings! I could swear they were mine in a previous bad life. I can’t watch any more. #PostTruthSociety She surely… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
These photos come from Paris and reflect my view of our Home Secretary, who is beyond the pale, so right wing as to be a racist, a bigot, a liar and a fraud. Trying to speak for the racists and miserable unwoke of the country. Promising the earth, but telling lies not truth.
Out of touch. In a bubble of fascistic elitist Cabinet members in a Tory Government led by @RishiSunak#GeneralElectionNow
#Budget2023 and #NetZero a thread. The UK is lagging behind in its commitment to achieving a drastic reduction in GHG emissions & protecting us against climate change.
#Budget2023 has an industrial strategy. However, it is clear that it will be insufficient to meet the requirements of #NetZero in the right place, in a timely manner in order to reach the target by 2040, not 2050. We are in war-time crises of an unprecedented kind.
Russia has been waging a cyber war against the West for at least 10, if not 15, years. Now due to #Brexit, #COVID19 , & #WarInUkraine, prices, especially energy & food, are spiking, but the Tory govt is either inadequate or absent in response.
Just look at his expression. He’s trying hard to be a serious politico, but he comes across as an angry #Brexiteer This is their language, their fault, their crime against our country, our homes & families. Yes, it’s them vs us as they wanted it, @Boris and his merry band of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Let him live in a tent. Let him enjoy the comforts of the English countryside in Spring under canvas. Let him cook his own meals on a Primus stove in the rain under an awning overlooking the North Sea, maybe in Clacton?
There’s nothing like a bracing wind blowing away your tent to teach MPs such as him a lesson about human frailty in the face of the elements. Vengeance will be sweet; the voters will decide, he can join @BorisJohnson in the dole queue, if he is lucky. Otherwise he could beg, I… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Keynes is right in questioning this inconsistency in govt attitudes to spending in war&peace. Govts make the ideological pursuit of controlling public debt in a sovereign state, their policy aim. This is misconceived.
Government should pursue achievement of a balance between 1) full use of available resources and 2) price inflation in a basket of goods and services serving basic needs, broadly defined.
They should use a mix of regulation, fiscal and monetary policies in packages designed to be equitable, efficient, and most importantly. Effective in achieving #NetZero .
We have arrived in the mountains. After a journey to Cannes, Nice, Toulon, Aix, Nimes, Arles, Lyon, starting in Paris, Gare de Lyon. Over two days & nights. Here at last. TGV staff made multiple errors, cock-ups, mess-ups, mistakes, you name it. We are to be fined for their… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The oddeysey began in UK on a rail strike day. We chose to travel exclusively by rail&foot, successfully in that regard. Random chance, love, laughter, human interaction, sympathy, much humour, dancing, 20 hours on trains acros La France. We were overwhelmed.
By a prolonged sunscape with clouds merging formingly to create rain and wind afar. Speeding by Van Gogh country in a TGV. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We do. It’s government that is responsible. Failed, failing, and downright corrupt governments, led by the @Conservatives for the last 12 or so years, becoming increasingly smug, entitled and corrupt, in the pay of foreign spymasters and fraudsters. Destroying the country.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We’ve never had it so bad.
In my lifetime, never have I been shot at in the street, never have I experienced lawlessness on such a scale, anywhere! Or seen it on TV news. Or known such a govt as that of smug Cameron, dancing May, liar @Boris, 🍒🦊😂😐Truss, and now PM Sunak the banker. The country has gone… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
