Great thread by Lewis Goodall. The House of Commons today was in LaLa land. Global Britain is a farce. The US relationship is shattered. The only option is Europe but that can’t be said. We are a middle ranked power but unable to leverage what power we have. Abject failure.

Summary/Thoughts on the debate. - Great deal of consensus across the House on several things. Notably a) unhappiness with the government's handling b) profound distaste with President Biden's speech. -Government often had toughest time from its own benches.

I wish I was as articulate as @michaelsheen. Just a random thought!
Yes. What about this @the_tpa? I’m a taxpayer and this is an abuse of privilege. Are you going to oppose it?

I'm starving. I need somebody to pop into a city centre and grab a sandwich for me! Apparently they don't exist anywhere else! #hybridwork #workingfromhome
The Green Party has been proposing radical and necessary action on climate change for the past three decades. We were talking about these issues when most other politicians were either in ignorance or denial. Our 10 point plan: greenparty.org.uk/assets/fil…

Absolutely! Then to top it off: using secrecy to avoid accountability in the use of OUR money.

Unacceptable by @Google on two counts: 1. Cuts directly against efforts to tackle the #ClimateEmergency by making people travel. 2. Paying people less because they live in poorer areas just entrenches #inequality. bbc.co.uk/news/business-5817…

Doctor, nurse, radiologist, dietician, surgeon, anaesthetist, cardiologist, midwife, neurosurgeon, paediatrician, pathologist, gynaecologist, psychologist etc. Dido Harding: "foreigners". Some collective nouns are immensely counter-productive. And vile. thetimes.co.uk/article/dido-…

Having watched brief snippets of #GBNews, I'm baffled. Its clearly not going to succeed long term. So old fashioned, without access to US style funding and cable streams; no strong online/social med presence. Only conclusion is that its Mel Brooks 'The Producers' come alive!

The jingoistic England 'freedom day' was and is (as we said at the time it was announced) more vacuous boosterism from a Johnson government whose Covid-19 failure and incompetence has already cost thousands of lives. It has also caused harm to the cause of suppressing the virus.

#globaltax deal is being presented as a triumph for #RishiSunak. As usual it is nothing of the sort, but a race to the bottom which only benefits Sunak's billionare mates. With the worlds largest economy happy with 21%, 15% is a failure and a disaster. More #Tory gaslighting
First time I've watched an entire @IndependentSage session. Hugely impressed, especially by v clear exposition of data by @chrischirp, plus important emergency statement of what should be done now from @DeenanDpillay

A CT scan this afternoon. Yet again the efficiency, professionalism and lovely sense of humour of the radiology staff at @nhsuhcw St Cross Rugby made the experience so much easier. Our invaluable and peerless #NHS. I am alive because of their service! 🙏 Thank you.
