We likely don't agree on brexit and the EU, but anyone wanting to keep the discussion clean and correct should be lauded! From there a more qualitative discussion can be held!

I think I will advise HR not to commission the creation of the annual anti-bribery & corruption training this year by a third party. Reform has given more than enough material to make a compilation to cover it all!

#TheTraitors why attack Nathan? He came last into the breakfast room; one of the last people to suspect!

#TheTraitors, surely the three going off the train will come back later! But, great it is back again!

Impressed by Ed Davey; honest, calm and clear in his answering. Something I would like to see a lot more of from our politicians. #bbcqt

Suella sacked; finally! Though annoyingly I might now need to consider voting Tories again...

Maybe we are all underestimating @SuellaBraverman...she re-exposed where some of the real hate comes from

Given education is a VAT exempt category, I'm not sure how Starmer is going to manage to raise VAT on the fees unless he changes that rule completely which will have a much greater impact...
Carole Malone on #skynews admits nurses are getting exploited, but they are not allowed to strike to change this. Given nothing else has resolved this, how does she propose nurses ensure they will not be exploited anymore? Why is nobody asking this to her?

Who still actually supports Brexit? The Leave protagonists have abandoned it. The public is mostly against it. Time to undo it?

This is the crux and fallacy of the purism of Brexit sovereignty. You might in theory have more of it, but not in practice...
Replying to @garvanwalshe
11/ It needs to understand that the sovereignty of all medium-sized countries is highly circumscribed. Leaving the EU increases the number of decisions the UK can make, but reduces its ability to shape the environment in which it makes them.
Replying to @NicholasTyrone
He certainly would have handled the pandemic far more effectively. Likely 100k more people would be alive today if he'd beaten Johnson in the leadership contest. xitter.cf/WritesBright/status/12…
Rory Stewart should use this video in every campaign he ever runs. His views on coronavirus on 12th March.

Now that was pretty painful with UK 0 points... But instead of showcasing our national Calimero behaviour, we could also decide to take it serious next year and send in somebody who can actually sing well... #Eurovision2021
Germany at #Eurovision shows all countries should just participate in the semis...
Just did my annual anti-bribery training; I couldn't help thinking "what would Boris do", but then I would certainly not have passed...
There are 22 past winners of the CL; that makes quite a good number for the #ESL. Why not just take these teams. I bet Nottingham Forest would be delighted ;-)
manutd.com/en/news/detail/so… How can you say this and since then almost not play van de beek at all and not even start him today. If something is devastating for somebody's reborn confidence it is exactly that...
Am seriously impressed by an excellent Jonathan van Tam answering questions on channel 4 news. Clear, to the point and even with some empathy where possible! #AskJVT
