"Walking out in a strop because things are quite as you want them to be" accuses the woman who supported Brexit. #ohtheironyithurts

Striking teachers set a terrible example to children. Walking out in a strop because things aren't quite as you want them to be is no approach to working life!

Fridges? Laptops? Our Tory government has allowed the Chinese to build our latest nuclear power plants at Hinkly Point and Bradwell B, with teams of Chinese engineers on site in charge of the builds. The @Telegraph were solid supporters of the Tory gov's decision. Fridges? FFS.

This original decision was about the same time the Tories allowed 100s of Russian oligarchs and members of their families to get golden visas to live in Britain, many of whom coincidentally went on the donate to the @Conservatives . #mafiacountry

Come back to me and tell me we don't live in a mafia run country when we stop making our doctors and nurses give their hard earned wages to private companies for the privilege of parking their cars at their place of work to cure us.

But of course the law only applies to US, not to THEM.

I dunno. Can't think why we have such long NHS waiting lists.

I actually did pretty well at school (state school) but maths was my worst subject. However, i think it's probably a good idea to have kids learn maths to a greater level. But, dear Mr Sunak, how the f*** are kids going to learn anything on an empty f***king stomach?

The biggest thing I can take away from this #HarryTheInterview, is that there are two very traumatised little boys who experienced one of the most significant adverse childhood experiences there is, and it was handled terribly by their family. That, and the press are cunts.

I dunno James. I guess we *could* wait for the ghosts of Xmas past, present and future to get round to visiting you and every Tory minister one day to get them to change your ways. In the meantime, strikes are the only option.

These bloody thick union leaders going on strike now honestly, why would anyone follow these horrendous people?

If @elonmusk wants to solve the main problem with social media, he needs to champion stopping algorithms that push content that's supposedly attractive to our interests, and drop all shadow banning. It creates confirmation bias which nurtures extremism and extreme prejudice.

He won't do it of course. There's too much money to be made from pushing personalised content at social media users.

Never mind anything else, other pay and conditions. In a normal country, a government that made nurses pay to park in their employers' car park while they work would have met with such outrage from voters they'd never see the inside of number 10 ever again. What's wrong with us?

Tory ministers aren't paying themselves in claps, are they? Not handing them out to their f***king mates either. #NursesStrike

Brexiters/Tory voters see themselves as brave British bulldogs, fighting for their rights and their country. They're not. They're more like fawning little poodles, kowtowing and simping to a bunch of poshboys, they think are their betters. Get yourselves some balls FFS.

I know the so-called journalists who work in our gutter press are utterly reprehensible, but add to that totally irresponsible too. This idiocy from @TheSun after the horrible tragedy in #Solihull today;

Tory MP @SimonClarkeMP thinks British people living in 5th richest country don't have a right to see a doctor, feed our families, live in a clean environment or expect our country to be defended. Thought those were minimum guarantees expected of MPs. Makes his life easy I guess.

This conflation of legitimate political choices and our constitutional rights is so dangerous. You may agree with Gordon Brown or disagree with him, but rights must be inalienable, not an attempt to enshrine your political preferences in perpetuity.

I dunno @SteveBarclay, I'm no expert on political marketing but openly admitting you can't pay ambulance drivers, paramedics and nurses because you've given away too much to your mates to buy luxury yachts with doesn't seem like a good way to win over voters. #butwhatdoiknow

I deeply regret some ambulance staff will be taking industrial action – this is in nobody’s best interests as winter approaches.   Economic circumstances mean unions demands are not affordable - each additional 1% pay rise for non-medical staff would cost around £700m a year. 1/2
