Yes - I am the new Chair of European Movement UK (
@euromove
)!
Thanks to everyone for your support. More details & thanks in a bit, but for now... just tell everyone and get EVERYONE to join
@euromove
. ❤️
This is powerful.
Diplomats from around the world stand up and leave as Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov begins his speech to UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
What utterly fascinates me…
…is the capacity of young women like Greta Thunberg or Meghan Markle to effortlessly trigger to meltdown the emotions of a certain type of 60-year-old-plus man.
What’s going on there?
Kwarteng denies, straight to camera, that his tax cuts favour those at the top.
Given such a denial of plain fact - is there actually any point in interviewing him?
Ukraine now negotiating to join the EU.
So much for Brexit having a 'domino effect' of countries leaving.
We just isolated ourselves on our own continent and for nothing.
Keir Starmer QC has 60-page Govt document, hops from page to page, loving detail, citing numbers & firing questions.
Johnson has no idea what’s in the document, hates detail & has no jeering, booing Tories to back him.
This is Boris Johnson’s nightmare.
I said it in Jan-Feb and I’ll say it again…
A high infection rate in a partially-vaccinated population is the PERFECT recipe for selective breeding of vaccine-resistant strains.
This irresponsible govt is not just a danger to us, but to the world.
If you haven’t seen it yet:
The MP for Dover, Natalie Elphicke, tried to join the protest over the P&O sackings yesterday, but was swiftly called out by the crowd for having voted against Labour’s attempt to put a stop to fire & rehire practices.
Wow, this is phenomenal.
Emily Maitlis (
@maitlis
) is absolutely ripping into this government’s erosion of democracy, standards and institutions.
It’s not normal, she says - and we should not accept it as normal.
👏👏👏
Dear
@Conservatives
,
You appear to have lost your pinned tweet from your feed.
Here it is so that you can pop it back. It’s only just over a week old.
This is the most deadpan takedown of Boris Johnson’s vroom-vroom/Peppa Pig speech to the CBI you’ll see.
Beautifully succinct summary by
@BBCRosAtkins
.
Labour win in Peterborough!
Who is
@BBCr4today
interviewing right now? The winner?
No... they have Nigel Farage on.
This is *the* top radio spot. I’ve had enough of the BBC. They promote him when he wins. They promote him when he loses.
This news about Truss’s phone being hacked by Russia with hugely compromising information gathered…
…and then Boris Johnson helping to cover it up to help her PM bid - is massively damaging for the UK.
Dear Tory MPs,
Next time Boris Johnson asks you to go to bat for something you know is wrong…
Like withholding kid’s meals, pumping sewage into our rivers, or propping up a corrupt MP…
Just remember he’ll U-turn and leave you hanging like fools when the public outcry comes.
What a lovely man.
For me personally; I prefer politics that solve problems, not politics that exploit them. Building communities rather than dividing them.
For me, Cummings’ sneaky blog edit, so that he could claim in the presser that he was a prophet of coronavirus in 2019, is key.
It shows he’s a compulsive liar. Just addressing questions was not enough. He needed to try a sneak another little ‘win’ in. He’s incredibly dangerous.
We didn’t win
Two world wars
To be pushed around
By the likes of LeaveEU
We won
Two world wars
To build a Europe
Of Peace, Responsibility & Respect.
- and we will continue to win -
Wouldn’t it be ironic...
If after lying to the Queen, voting to break international law, mishandling a pandemic causing 130,000 deaths, sinking businesses & trade through Brexit, vast, vast corruption, PPE money to mates...
...Johnson is finally brought down by: Wallpaper.
Abramovich should clearly have his assets seized before he can sell them off.
Why is our government deliberately giving him as much time as he needs to sell them and move his money?
Having seen Zelensky, are we really going to keep Boris Johnson…
…and say “yah, let’s let him off, even if he does break his own laws, lie repeatedly, take Russian money, hand out corrupt contracts, and behave dishonourably in parliament”
Surely we need to do better.
Those final results, expressed as % change from 2015, are remarkable:
UKIP: -82%
Tories: -24%
Labour: -4%
Lib Dem: +109%
Green: +273%
The notion that Tories shed seats because “people just want them to get on with Brexit” doesn’t fly when you look at where those seats went.
Images like this will fly around global media in no time.
Completely unnecessary and illiberal policing. The heavy-handed image management attempt has backfired absolutely.
Our Home Secretary is responsible for the misjudged idiocy.
Russian advance is stalling. Russian soldiers running out of food & petrol…
Ukrainian soldiers receiving top weaponry from all over Europe & Ukrainian citizens signing up at pace.
The bravery of Ukraine is already legendary and this is an incredible turnaround. 🦾 🇺🇦
Well done
@GaryLineker
. Keep going. You speak for so many Brits.
And when footballers speak far more sense than government, you know we need a new government.
I’m stunned by this. Polling shows 70-80% of people assert that Cummings broke the rules.
@maitlis
reflected that. Simple.
Contrast this with no reprimand of
@bbclaurak
activism on behalf of Cummings.
This is Govt bullying of BBC.
