It seems to me that "Brexit isn't the problem, it's how it's being implemented" is the new "guns don't kill people, people do"

Think about ANY quintessentially British thing that you love; the NHS, pubs, the seaside, whatever... They’re all dying or under threat. And not one of them because of immigration. They are all that way because of a government that is telling you that immigration is the problem.

Well let’s think shall we?
1. Our beaches are unusable since you filled the sea with raw human shit
2. Whole swathes of the UK hospitality industry went out of business because of Brexit
3. We’re all broke because you crashed the economy
4. Rocketing rail & petrol prices
5. Etc

“I’m not familiar with that particular case”.
Suella Braverman says she didn’t know about 12 refugees being killed in Rwanda in 2018 after protesting about their conditions.
Moments earlier she insisted “Rwanda is safe for refugees”.
“Rwanda is a safe country” she repeats.

"Fifteen years of wage stagnation has left British workers £11,000 worse off per year, according to research shared exclusively with BBC Panorama." bbc.co.uk/news/business-6497…
I've not made a programme for @BBCPanorama before. But we've spent the last two months looking at wage levels in the UK - and how they connect to the long-term challenges the UK economy is facing. It's on @BBCOne at 8pm tomorrow - and on @BBCiPlayer.

Once more for the hard of thinking:
Impartiality and political neutrality are NOT interchangeable concepts.
If one political “side” is doing objectively bad things, the impartial response is to SAY SO.
And you don’t have to “balance” it by pretend the other side are just as bad.

A river of boiling shit flows through your town. You haven’t seen a tomato for 18 months. MOTD is 3 minutes long and narrated by a parakeet. Your salary is paid directly to British Gas. You solve a riddle to speak to a GP. You feel people come here because they want an easy life

There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?

So powerful…
Not just Sunak, but every anti-nurses strike bellend should do this:
"Do you really care about the NHS? Will you keep the NHS as it was always intended to be? Prove it to us."
This is what nursing staff would say to PM @RishiSunak if they had one minute with him.
It's exactly what has led to the #RCNStrike.
RT in solidarity with nursing.

So it turns out the courts were ordered to ‘rubber-stamp’ warrants for the rich power companies to break into the homes of those already unable to survive in the cold winter of the cost-of-living crisis, install pre-payment meters and leave them to freeze & starve. It’s evil!

On her own admission today, Liz Truss spent two years as chief secretary to the Treasury without knowing how pension markets work, and was totally surprised when they fell to pieces. What was she being paid for?

Is the ‘left-wing economic establishment’ part of the ‘anti-growth coalition’ or are they rival factions?
Peta O'Brien retweeted
This is very strong.
For anyone reading Liz Truss's mea culpa in The Sunday @Telegraph today, the idea Truss states that Kwarteng and the Treasury had not been warned of the budget's risks to financial stability was NOT TRUE. /1
Peta O'Brien retweeted
Liz Truss stares out of a window, calling everything she sees “left wing”. Including the window and the frame. She looks down at her shoes. They are also left wing. Even the right one. She smiles. Everything is left wing. That is why she failed. Nothing to do with her.

Here she is…
The woman who doesn’t give a single shit that she doubled your mortgage payments
Lamenting how her “mandate” wasn’t respected
Get in the bin, you utter bellend.
