Why is it OK to erect tents & camp out on the route of a royal procession days before - & after the event leave behind piles of rubbish & detritus. But a homeless person sleeping on the streets is not allowed to pitch a tent & gets moved on for seeking shelter in a shop doorway.

The most gut wrenching, sickening post/image across my timeline today, is a photo of the uber privileged ...... Prince & Princess of Wales- visiting a food bank. Noblesse Oblige ! In other words - the "Great & the Good" patronising the poor.

Ha. The Government has offered NI £2.5bn if the DUP return to Stomont. They turned it down !!. Tories can attempt to bribe the DUP to carry out their constitutional responsibilty. But can't pay Junior Doctors a decent wage. Funny old world under thr Tories- don't you think so ?

Parliament is drawing up plans to help MPs who lose their seats in the next GE. This will include guidance on how to construct a CV. They will continue to receive their salary for 4months instead of 2. All this on top of an already generous severance package.

In that case, why can't I travel to Yorkshire to care for my 90yr old mother, recovering from a broken hip, pneumonia & various hospital acquired infections and who is also grieving alone for the recent death of my younger sister. So Rishi - I don't buy your justification !

Taking care of your wife and young child is justifiable and reasonable, trying to score political points over it isn’t.

Andrew - you opened the programme #Marr by referring to poverty & rough sleepers. You might develope that theme by asking why Tory MPs believe that having their photo taken at a foodbank - is a good PR stunt ? It's Tory policies that have fed the need for food banks.

In my opinion - Johnson's letter to Macron last night- and posted on Twitter - was deliberately aimed to be provocative. He has no conception of how a PM should behave or conduct relationships with other world leaders His sense of entitlement is now becoming pathological.

NOTE to Chuka Umunna. Chuka - you stood in the election for Leader of the Party. You withdrew (allegedly) BECAUSE of media attention. With respect - you seem LESS coy these days about *media attention* BTW - I am not a *dog* - as you so inelegantly describe party members.

My thoughts are with our Labour MPs at tonights meeting of the PLP & with those who lost their seats In particular my thoughts are with the Leader He has withstood so much vitriol &venom with courage & fortitude.Whether you were for him or agin him allow him some dignity now.

Helen Whately #bbcqt I'm speechless She's a Health Minister for goodness sake. With, I believe, responsibilty for Social Care. Another Minister, promoted beyond competence, not on top of her brief.

The pandemic has pushed the country to it's knees,yet British Gas chooses this time to issue "Fire & Rehire" threats to it's workers. 5k British Gas workers are on a 5 day strike. Lockdown means they can't picket or demonstrate Yet there has been NO media coverage. #PleaseRT

MEMO to Jo Swinson. Tuned into your "campaign launch". Absolutely NO policies except " I wanna be Prime Minister & I'm gonna stop Brexit" What about social policies ? fiscal policies ? - it's a GE !! Ooops - rewind to her record in Coalition with the Tories It's all there!

Look, I may be a hostage to Twitter water boarding here, but I find it very difficult to believe Johnson had a serious bout of Covid. My son, strong healthy, double jabbed, is still recovering after 2 weeks of being very unwell with Covid. Johnson seemed to recover very quickly..

Nadhim. I am an atheist, I have no religious faith. But I do respect the icons, rituals & symbols of all faiths. To use a Christian symbol & attach the Tory logo, on one of the holiest days in the Christian calender, is tasteless & just plain wrong.

It seems to me that all public utilities should be in public ownership. In my very humble opinion ,it is morally indefensible that private greed should PROFIT from public need.
