All Margaret Thatcher's fault. Not one good thing came from her stint as PM , she destroyed our community, society, services - asset stripped the country .
Surprisingly strong water industry review. Good on regulation, social tariffs & consumer protection. Right every company be a public benefit company with appropriate cash and capital, and new powers to block private equity. All welcome but 30 years late. news.sky.com/story/broken-w…
#BBCLauraK BBC bosses are currently rebranding their ‘Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg’ programme. Ideas for a new name reflecting its current newsworthy content include: ‘Sunday with Nigel Farage’ ‘It ain’t half Nige mum!’ ‘24 Hours in Nigel Farage’ ‘Only Nige & Horses’ ‘Pointless’
What no-one is saying on #BBCBreakfast is that when we were in the EU, we could return asylum seekers to the first EU country they had arrived in. With Brexit, Britain lost that right.
A classic of the genre
If you want Europe then fuck off over their were not interested we didn’t vote to go back, so shove this idea up your arse and sling it
Our service exports have done well. Without Brexit they would have done even better. Great research from the LSE. Don’t believe the myth: Britain’s services have been hit hard by Brexit via @FT on.ft.com/3IlOyxr
Switched on to see 'Toryphile' Laura Kuenssberg back at the helm. Realise just what a great job Victoria Derbyshire did last week. BBC need to get rid of LK and replace with Derbyshire or similar. Please reteet or like if you agree.#BBCLauraK
Dear @TimesRadio Will you be asking @afneil to retract his false & misleading claim that people at #Glastonbury said or chanted "DEATH TO JEWS"? He is aware that this didn't occur but openly tells his audience that it was said "OUT LOUD". @Ofcom will you be looking into this?
1. The average salary of a FTSE 100 CEO was >£4million. 2. The range for Council CEO is £140-220k
The truth will out. Over 60% of local budgets spent on social care
This is from the local government association
Good to see both Advance and Restore launch in the same week. They both sound like treatments to help aging men who can no longer achieve erections. And they're both led by aging men who look like they can no longer achieve erections.
Another timely reminder that there were zero small boats before Brexit when the UK was part of the Dublin Agreement.

Great to see Victoria Derbyshire fronting LK on Sunday. She needs to replace Tory stooge Laura Kuenssberg permanently. Please retweet or like if you agree. #BBCLauraK
No surprise. The RMT is led by Eddie Dempsey, who has been overtly pro-Putin and pro-Russia. Here he is with Aleksey Mozgovoy in Russian occupied Ukraine in 2015, wearing the Ribbon of Saint George. He later wrote a glowing, misty eyed obituary for Mozgovoy in the Morning Star.
Thanks to one person, the UK's biggest rail union just voted to sabotage British military aid to Ukraine - like blocking arms to the international brigades in the Spanish Civil War! A minority if blowhard tankies are doing Putin's dirty work in the labour movement. Thanks for…

Today, will Baron Hannan of Kingsclere, along with his fellow prevaricators, be sitting resplendent in their ermine as they reflect on the unerring accuracy of the Brexit Britain predictions they all made nine years ago?
Happy Brexit referendum anniversary day. It weakened the economy. Reduced investment. Tanked the pound. Damaged the City. Increased red tape. Increased immigration. Decreased the rights of the young. Staffed billions wasted. But hey - Johnson has PM on his CV and his partner in…
Daniel Hannan is a classic example of a man educated way beyond his intelligence (Marlborough, Oriel College Oxford). A posh accent means fuck all if one lacks basic nous and the power of critical thinking. I mean, only a blithering idiot would have considered leaving our…
