An unelected prime minister who asked unelected King Charles III to give unelected David Cameron a peerage so he could serve as unelected foreign secretary has attacked the House of Lords for being unelected

I remember a year ago when I spoke to some journos about why they weren't printing material about her, and they told me they'd received threatening letters from her lawyers.
I decided to start tweeting about it anyway, and I'm glad I did.
They've lied for years, and now that DHSC is suing PPE Medpro for £122 million for unusable gowns, they've no choice because they're finally exposed.
It's only about the money & always about the money.
They profiteered while front line NHS staff suffered and people died alone.

Note 2. The UK National Crime Agency raided their homes and offices and they are under criminal investigation.

10 YEARS AGO... Ten years ago today, David Cameron decided to hold a referendum on our membership of the European Union. Less than 10% of the electorate had an issue with the EU, but his back benches were full of neanderthal, eurosceptic thickos, and he was running scared of a con artist called Farage. So 'Bullingdon Booby' No. 1 decided to have a referendum. He ended up delivering a toxic combination of crushing austerity and Brexit and set us on a course which brought untold misery to millions. And because of him, we are diminished as a nation. We are a divided country. We have been brought to our knees.
Shame on him.

Can I please ask why a man owing the taxman £626m is allowed to pay it over 18 years at the age of 96 years.
This is quite ridiculous he's expected to live to be 114 years old by time its paid.
Compare this to our #50swomen denied pensions they worked for robbed of 6 years?

Sometimes one says something out loud, quietly - like this - during a speech. Usually the police don’t descend on you…. This was not heckling it was under-breath mumbling…
'There's no such thing as gender ideology... this is trash'

The final sea shanty of the trilogy 🎶⚓️(an adaptation of #Wellerman and #DrunkenSailor) inspired by @SuellaBraverman's recent speech on migration.
We stand and sing in solidarity with a different vision from #Braverman's of what our country stands for & who it should stand by🧡

Michael Gove scrapped the £56bn school building project in 2010 that was set to replace every single RAAC school in the UK.
He then replaced it with nothing.
Fast forward 13 years and they are all falling down.
Whose fault is it?

You waited until 8.02pm the night before term starts to send this?
Words fail me.
All bodies responsible for school and college buildings must fill out our questionnaire on Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete if not already completed 👇

Settings with suspected RAAC will be brought forward for surveying.

This woman is unbelievable…
Fire Brigade safety advice now being disregarded by Braverman because they are a “Labour affiliated union”
Get in the bin, you incredulous bell.
Jon Kay - The fire brigades union say the Bibby Stockholm is a death trap... so why won't you meet them?
Suella Braverman - "The fire brigades union is a Labour affiliated union & they're carrying out a political attack on the government..."

“This is my friend's 17 year old nephew, Tanner. Yesterday he was enjoying a day at Scissortail Park with his mother and younger siblings when he noticed a person struggling in the pond. Tanner's mom said he did a quick double take then without a word he was running toward the water. She had no idea what was happening but Tanner knew someone needed him. His instincts took over and this guy saved a drowning 2 year old!!! He suffered a head injury in the process and had to have staples. Police, fire and medics responded and the child's mother cried uncontrollably with gratitude. Tanner is humble, compassionate and really does not understand how much heartbreak his actions have saved a family.”
