Socially distanced from Tories since birth - thanks mum!
Ex … journalist, editor, music distributor, restaurant manager, barman, tour guide and teacher.
Cornwall voted massively for Brexit and is 100% Tory-run.
It received over £1 billion in EU funding from 2000 and was to receive another £350m after 2020.
Instead, it was awarded £18 million and beaches covered in human excrement.
Brexit illustrated.
I live in France.
Compared to the UK:
Pensions and benefits are higher, rents and house prices are lower, the cost of living is lower, and the standard of living, education, public health and quality of life, are all higher.
And all achieved within the EU.
I am returning to France today after ten days in the UK.
During this time I caught Covid and spent more than twice my normal weekly budget.
I was also shocked by the poverty I saw on the streets in an affluent south east town.
Good luck Brexit Britain, you’ll need it.
"The British people want us to fix this problem, the system is rigged against them"
Home Secretary Suella Braverman says today's Court of Appeal ruling on the government's Rwanda plans is "disappointing"
Man who was not elected, even by his own party membership, stands outside Downing Street and lectures a nation about the 'need to protect democratic processes'.
Basil Fawlty on speed…
Brianna Ghey’s father:
“Being a father of a transgender child was a difficult thing to deal with, but even though I grieved the son I lost, I was proud to gain another beautiful daughter.”
And there we have it.
It isn’t difficult to understand.
Nothing to be scared of.
It is now a matter of public record that Boris Johnson spent MONTHS in Lebedev’s Perugia villa, not just a handful of weekends.
On many of these occasions, Lebedev Snr. — an ex-officer of the KGB — was present.
Now imagine the outcry if this had been Corbyn or Starmer.
In Iceland, Kwasi Kwarteng would be in his second year of prison for insider trading.
Never forget that he met with multiple high profile hedge funders the night before his disastrous mini-budget, while steadfastly refusing to meet with the Office for Budget Responsibility.
The man who left snide notes on civil servants’ desks about working from home, doesn’t want us to know he spends more time at GBNews than in Westminster.
Nauseating double standards from the crowned prince of hypocrites.
Tory baroness Michelle Mone, allegedly defrauded the treasury of £29 million.
Liz Truss spent more than £15,000 on in-flight catering for a single trip to Australia.
Meanwhile, Tories are losing their tiny minds, over a capital gains bill of £1,500.
Hollow and infantile.
Rishi Sunak: “I will not allow a foreign court to block these flights”.
Erm…
“Foreign court”?
The Supreme Court is situated on Parliament Square, directly opposite the Houses of Parliament, next to the statue of Abraham Lincoln.
It’s a five minute walk from Downing Street
If you care more about a civil servant joining Labour than you do about a Tory peer who bought her private yacht with public money, the establishment’s work is done and you are officially a sheep.
Remember the two women in Derbyshire who were fined for driving five miles to take a walk?
They even had their coffees confiscated because they ‘constituted a picnic’.
They didn’t attend a party with wine and canapés and it didn’t take weeks to establish their guilt.
Note for
@BBCBreaking
@BBCNews
Deliberately ignoring a newsworthy event like today’s rejoin march, or worse still, doing so under instruction from the establishment, is a dereliction of duty, and an insult to your profession.
Are you Russia Today or the BBC?
Shame on you!
Cornwall — a Leave-voting region — has seen its funding plummet from £100 million to just £3 million as a direct result of Brexit.
Important to note, that it was already among the ten poorest regions in Northern Europe prior to the vote.
Isolation isn’t that splendid after all!
So three-quarters of a million people will have paid tribute to the Queen in person.
According to the media, this is an overwhelming expression of the nation’s depth of feeling.
Yet when a million people marched in London against Brexit, they were somehow enemies of the state…
Apologise?
What for?
Give her a Damehood and the freedom of Westminster for services to honesty in public life!
She provided her WhatsApps unlike the snivelling cowards in the Tory Party!
If a Prime Minister is so weak that he can’t fire a Home Secretary who is quoting Goebbels verbatim, what use is he at all?
All Tories should hang their heads in shame!
If you’d said to me six years ago that Martin Lewis and Carol Vorderman would become rightwing hate figures, I’d have called for a doctor…
But here we are, this is what happens when ministers encourage people to ignore experts.
Brexit Britain in all its sad insanity!
The Tories have opened a huge can of worms here…
On average, Tory MPs own many more homes than their Labour counterparts.
I wonder how many sitting Tory MPs and cabinet members are registered to vote in homes they do not live in?
Wanna bet there are dozens?
If you think Gary Lineker is greedy or overpaid, know this: he would get three times his current salary at ITV or BTSport.
And don’t tell me “but we pay his salary at the BBC”!
We also pay Suella Braverman’s salary in parliament.
How can Lindsay Hoyle congratulate Johnson for ‘his performance during the pandemic’?
His performance — partying while people died — is the main reason why he was ditched.
Wanna know why the Tories are so terrified of Angela Rayner?
If she’s allowed to get her message across — without interference or smears — voters who grew up as she did, will see them for the scum they are, and will never vote Tory ever again.
The terror is justified.
The Conservative Party is the oldest political party in the United Kingdom and arguably in the world.
This man will be their last ever prime minister before they are wiped out for all eternity.
May they rot in hell.
It’s not the “boobs and bums” the Tories are terrified of — it’s the brains.
They didn’t cancel Carol Vorderman’s BBC radio show because of her figure, they fear the thoughtful, intelligent and honest brand of politics she champions, because it would hail their extinction.
How is this possible in a country where £265,522 of public funds were handed to millionaire Boris Johnson to cover his legal fees in the Partygate affair?
Where is the justice in any of this?
Darren Grimes — failed fashion student and trainee hairdresser — has been invited to numerous BBC current affairs programs.
Carole Cadwalladr — the single most important journalist of her generation — hasn’t.
And Brexiters have the gall to claim the BBC is biased against them.
Sarah Vine and Steve Baker have used the term “Remoaners” every single day for the last seven years with no sense of irony whatsoever.
Now they’re asking us to feel sorry for them over a Brexit disaster they designed, sold and trumpeted.
Who’s moaning now?
So David Attenborough is being silenced and Gary Lineker has been suspended.
By the Tories.
No wonder they get upset when we call them Nazis.
Truth hurts.
This is Spain.
I’m trying to imagine the fury if it was Blackpool and the flags were German.
Over five million British migrants live worldwide, and I’m one of them.
Most of us are ashamed of this.
Go home if that’s where you’d rather be…
“England til I die” right?
A reminder: EU sanctions on Russia came into effect at 4am on Monday.
In the UK, they won’t begin for another month.
Since Boris Johnson came to power, the Tories have accepted nearly two million pounds from prominent Russian-born donors.
An intriguing dichotomy no?
Mark Carney former Governor of the Bank of England:
“…in 2016 the British economy was 90% the size of Germany’s. Now it is less than 70%."
Thoughts Brexiters?
Tories?
Have I got this right?
Following Ben Elton’s altogether accurate assessment of Rishi Sunak this morning, the Right wants to police the freedom of expression of BBC guests.
Did any of these imbeciles watch Question Time this week?
A veteran of Sir John Major’s Treasury team, Phillip Oppenheim, said today that Liz Truss was “quite possibly the last ever Tory prime minister”.
Make it happen voters!
Richard Holden, the Conservative party chair, is the Tory attack dog behind the Angela Rayner allegations alongside Lord Ashworth, James Daly and Dan Hodges.
He has known about Mark Menzies’ behaviour for three months.
Has he reported him to the police?
Layla Moran’s mother is a CHRISTIAN Arab from Jerusalem, and her father is a British EU Ambassador.
Richard Madeley is a racist imbecile who must be put out to pasture immediately.
Former Finnish prime minister, Alexander Stubb:
"To claim that Boris Johnson 'has taken a lead globally in standing up to Putin' is an illusion only possible in Brexit la la land."
Quite!
The spirit of Brexit:
A group of ignorant, angry, toxic adults turning their backs on a choir of schoolchildren performing Ode to Joy, on perhaps the biggest day of their young lives.
I see nothing to celebrate today.
The tabloids are obsessed with the cold handshake between Hall and Khan, but Sadiq consoling Binface was a much bigger moment.
This anonymous superhero deserves a peerage, not just for beating Britain First, but for all his charity work and the joy he brings us every election.
Ian Hislop is the editor of Private Eye — the magazine that published the most content on this story. By a distance.
Unlike yours, his indignation cannot be “faux” because he acted on it you stupid fucking moron!
Sarah is a Brexiter
Sarah is a Tory
Sarah is the incarnation of an all-powerful rightwing English media.
And Sarah is whingeing about the miserable world she has helped create.
Fuck Sarah, and all who sail with her!
The mayor of Calais and the French foreign secretary have both proposed that Westminster set up a refugee processing post in the North of France.
This would cost a fraction of the ridiculous Rwanda plan and would be much more effective.
No reply from Patel or Johnson.
Every tabloid hack in the country has been tasked with digging up dirt on Carol Vorderman for the last six months at least.
And what have they come up with?
A thirty year-old endorsement for a failed company.
If this were a crime, every Tory in the land would be in prison.
A doctor hanged himself because he’d been incarcerated on the Bibby Stockholm…
Reflect on that the next time you’re stuck in A&E for days…
Or the next time a stupid racist claims migrants monopolise the NHS…
The biggest local election news SHOULD BE that the Green Party have kicked Reform UK’s arses nationwide…
But don’t expect Caroline Lucas to replace Nigel Farage on your TV screens anytime soon…
Piers Morgan has spent the last ten years questioning the characters of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle…
One has to wonder what his qualifications are…
Let’s reflect…
The People’s Prince.
Not an Eton toff who ruffles his hair for photographers.
Or a Brexiteer who promises the earth, but delivers rivers full of shit.
Nor a morning TV presenter who flounces off when challenged by a weatherman.
Just a bloke who takes on the media alone.
Interesting point from James O’Brien on LBC:
If Hancock has had the whip withdrawn for participating in ‘I’m a Celebrity’, why wasn’t it withdrawn from Johnson for going on holiday for six weeks?
Truss in the Telegraph, Johnson in the Mail and myriad ex-cabinet ministers all over GBNews and TalkTV…
But Tory Twitter is having an hissy-fit because BBC Wales radio host Carol Vorderman Tweets her mind…
They don’t want media impartiality, they want media monopoly.
Imagine for a moment that a Leftwing TV presenter had committed a fraction of the crimes Dan Wootton has been accused of…
Scratch that, we don’t have to, Lineker was crucified for a Tweet, and they’re going after Vorderman for a 1980s advert.
Fucking hypocrites!
People defending Prince William have no argument. He’s the FA President, and the World Cup is the biggest annual event.
He could have refused the position on the grounds that he didn’t wish to fly — the location was no secret — but he didn’t.
Full stop.
End of discussion.
The Tory MP for Romford stands accused of rape.
He has been reselected and he retains the whip.
His bail has been extended five times consecutively.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail targets a woman who likes to have fun and eat fast food.
Remember all those people who lined the streets when Harry and Meghan got married?
They hate them now.
Because Rupert Murdoch and Paul Dacre told them to — no other reason at all.
Ask yourselves why the names of Philip Schofield and Huw Edwards — who have never been arrested — are plastered all over the tabloids, while this Tory MP organises surgeries for his constituents with complete impunity.
His bail has been extended for a fifth consecutive time.
Just so we’re clear: this Tory MP was arrested on May 17, 2022, on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, indecent assault, abuse of a position of trust and misconduct in a public office.
He has not been suspended and he retains the whip.
He is also a Brexit cultist unsurprisingly.
An unelected, non-dom billionaire businesswoman is delivering the keynote leader’s speech to the Tory conference in Manchester.
I kid you not!
Oh yes, she’s also the prime minister’s wife.
Jim Pickard of the Financial Times has reported that Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng hosted a dinner with hedge fund donors shortly before the budget.
Who was there and what was discussed must necessarily be a matter of public record and should be published immediately!
Note to the Tories:
If you reinvent yourselves as National Conservatives, you can’t complain when people draw parallels with Germany in the 1930s.
You asked for it.
So the man who took us out of the EU with a little song and not a care in the world, has been rewarded with a peerage and an office of state.
What a ridiculous country we live in where the worst among us are continually honoured for the pain they inflict on the nation…
Boris Johnson gave Andrea Jenkyns a Damehood — for services to the ERG and Brexit.
This gave her equal footing with women like Julie Andrews, Judi Dench, and Maggie Smith — no less.
Mo Mowlam refused hers.
Reflect on that a moment.
Jacob Rees-Mogg announced today that ‘France is a safe haven for refugees except those who don't like garlic'.
Irrespective of what this means, remind me again precisely why I shouldn’t call Brexiters — elected officials and those who voted for them — juvenile, racist imbeciles?
@LozzaFox
@SadiqKhan
The victim was stabbed because she refused the advances of an adolescent boy.
The kind of boy whose sense of entitlement you feed daily with your caveman misogyny.
Now fuck off and take your pathetic persecution complex with you — we’re not buying here.
More than 7,000 financial jobs have moved from London to the European Union as a result of Brexit.
And today, the very MPs who campaigned to leave the European Union, are telling us we need to attract more bankers to boost the economy.
They’re taking the piss aren’t they?
Bill Cash, “if parliament passes a law, the courts should apply it, whether it breaks international law or not.”
Parliament shouldn’t pass laws that break international treaties you stupid fucking weasel!
Emily Maitlis was suspended over a single “partial” monologue on Channel 4.
Can someone explain how Fiona Bruce gets away with identical behaviour every single week on the BBC?
