It's a mark of what's gone wrong with British politics that it's regarded as some kind of career-ending humiliation when a govt has to make concessions to Members of Parliament. We'd be much better governed if MPs found their backbones more often, & govts routinely had to respond to their concerns.

Irony is officially dead.

What a thread 😂

For those with a hangover from yesterday's Hannan Day celebrations. Good Morning.

Voters who have deserted Labour since the election are much more likely to vote Green or Lib Dems, than Reform, new YouGov polling finds. Green and Lib Dem defectors are also much more likely to consider switching back than Reform voters who overwhelmingly say they're committed to Farage's party

3 Reform in the top 10. 1st Lib Dem is at 24 1st Green at 84 This is a failure of the UK new media ecosystem.

Yes, yours

There may come a day when the BBC puts on air one of the other 29,999 headteachers currently estimated to be working in UK schools, but that day is not today

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being *rewarded* for their ignorant delinquency.

Terrorism. It's called terrorism. BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv... One Minnesota state lawmaker dead, another injured after targeted shooting, officials say - live updates - BBC News

One was responding to £45 billion pounds of unfunded taxcuts. The other invested in Britain. Same paper, same editor, same *journalist*.

So if ure not keeping track of how the Crayola Right work: - the rich are not actually leaving UK in droves - VAT on priv schools didnt actually lead to an exodus to State Schools - 2-Tier Policing isnt actually a thing But how many Telegraph, LBC & Question Time segments were put out about them?

not watching the male lionesses but looks like they should stick to the kitchen xxx

I completely disagree. Being called “woke” is a f**king badge of honour. It’s the biggest compliment going. If people are so morally hollow that they turn basic human kindness into an insult then good luck to them. But woke is one of the few good things we’ve got going. So, woke it is.

Difficult to fully understand the maths, but from a PR perspective this seems reasonable? BBC News - Winter fuel payment: Three-quarters of pensioners eligible after U-turn - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
