James O'Brien was at his most baffled by reports that an MP walked in on Carrie Johnson performing a sex act on Boris Johnson, as he sought to get her a top Foreign Office job. @mrjamesob
Quite possibly one of the most vile things I’ve ever heard or seen. I’m heartbroken and furious at the same time.

All hail Mick Lynch
I mean, it’s a drag, and we’re all busy, but there’s going to need to be some kind of revolution
So we can’t have an abortion and we can’t speak publicly about being abused by men. 2022 is going fucking swimmingly for women. In fact this whole millennium has been a slow car crash for women’s rights.
Starting to think Boris Johnson has been rumbled
Mick Lynch: We need a written guarantee of no compulsory redundancy. Tory Rachel Maclean: They already have! It's here in this letter. Mick Lynch: No it's not. Rachel Maclean: *Reads out letter that doesn't guarantee anything.* #bbcqt
What a total waste of time, life and possibility the past 12 years of government in this country have been.
@Likemindschange @RogWard @RMTunion Much easier to post the following image on every social website you have access to.
Seen in Tiverton about 2 hours ago.
Boris Johnson now blaming the by-election results on the cost of living crisis. So nothing to do with him overseeing widespread criminality in Downing Street, breaking domestic & international law, ignoring the rule of law & serially lying to the public & Parliament
Earlier today, @grantshapps bragged about introducing new legislation to bring in agency workers to break strikes. It seems pertinent, therefore, to share his words about our members during COVID when, far from being militant trade unionists, he described them as "true heroes".
When working class people stop reading right wing red tops & voting Tory against their own best interests and start listening to the likes of Mick Lynch @RMTunion the world will become a better place for everyone.

So today the most dishonest, contemptuous and unprincipled govt of our lifetimes will introduce its Bill of Rights to replace the Human Rights Act and distance us from the ECHR. An act of spiteful vandalism from the most ignorant and hateful politicians we’ve ever known.
The 4 big UK banks paid out £4 billion in bonuses alone last year. Remember that before you call someone who cleans a train greedy.
This is Tracey, a @RMTunion member and train dispatcher on the picket line at Durham train station. Have a listen to why she is striking. #ToryRailStrikes
