I don't think there are words in the English vocabulary to describe how utterly appalling this government is. Pure and unmitigated evil.

We don't riot like the French. Stoicism and weary acceptance is the British way. No wonder so many of us feel disillusioned and powerless. But when we vote together, tactically, we really do have power. Tactical voting works. That's why we built stopthetories.vote
For the good people who fight it on the beaches, in the law courts, in their homes, in their communities, in our national institutions, and in their hearts. Keep fighting. #RwandaNotInMyName #RwandaBill @refugeecouncil @CityofSanctuary @amnesty @libertyhq @AsylumMatters @_KRAN_…
Rishi Sunak has rejected an EU proposal for young Britons to be allowed to live, work or study in the EU for up to 4 years if EU youngsters are given the same rights in the UK - but 68% of Britons would support this move, including 53% of Leave voters yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
The half a billion pounds the Tories have spent on the Rwanda scheme so far would have covered last year's cuts to adult social care. Twice over.
So both main parties immediately reject EU’s proposal for a youth mobility scheme. What a state we’re in. Slamming doors in our own faces because better opportunities and closer cooperation with our own continent isn’t brexity enough. What a stupid little place they’ve made us.
His true - & nakedly cruel - colours. First @RishiSunak declares he’ll cut benefits for 420,000 sick & disabled people to force them into work. Now, 2 days later, he scraps a major scheme, the Work & Health Programme, to help disabled people into work. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Mark Menzies remains an MP and will continue to draw his salary while presumably voting with the Tories. What a way to run a democracy.

2022: Conservative party 'plan' is for patients to see a GP within 2 weeks 2005: Couple complain about the Labour party delivering a service where patients could see a GP within 24 hours (they wanted to book an appointment after the the 24 hour window, not in it)
This is simply unbelievable. The way the Tories go on about it you’d think we spend all our money on the sick and unemployed But check out the stats! We should be paying much more… Near bottom for incapacity benefit
Ending the cap on bankers' bonuses while imposing a one-year limit on Jobseekers' Allowance. That's class politics, right there.
Please send £5000, I am trapped in a country with some bad people.

'You can't talk about it without smashing your head against a metaphorical brick wall... and it's self-inflicted.' @mrjamesob highlights the government and media's preoccupation with Angela Rayner's tax row instead of addressing medical supply chain issues worsened by Brexit.
You could sort out the state of NHS mental health services - or you could tell people needing them that they’re the problem.
'Rishi Sunak is taking the power away from GPs and putting it with people in the DWP who will not be incentivised to put the patient at the heart of the decision they're making.' @mrjamesob and doctor Zack express their 'anger' at the Tories' action on 'sick note culture'.
'We are all swinging on the trapeze of life'. @mrjamesob offers his analogy on the necessity of the 'safety net' of the welfare system as the Tories set out their plan to attack 'sick note culture'.
Man who in a few short months will leave broken Britain and take his daughters to California… Turns down the right for your kids to easily live, work and study abroad Oh, and Labour have been bitterly disappointing cowards too.

The way these corrupt, entitled, super-wealthy Tory toffs loll about in the trough in front of us, showering themselves with riches and treats, when *everything* they’ve done in power has made the country poorer, weaker and unhappier. Just loathsome.

@MarinaPurkiss @JeremyVineOn5 He will have known there was a reasonable chance this would become public but he did it anyway. Why? Because he knows the media would cover for him and those still clueless enough to vote for them do t care about the country only their narrow world view. We need prosecutions!
@MarinaPurkiss @JeremyVineOn5 Sick of these unelected bureaucrats feathering their own nests. We need to leave the EU immediately.
David Cameron now swanning about on a £42m private jet like he’s a bloody Kardashian… And we’re paying for it. No matter what side of the political spectrum you’re on, this should make your blood boil.
Nothing but the best for our Tory overlords.
I get that David Cameron may need to charter a plane when travelling to multiple countries in one week, but that does not justify spending hundreds of thousands of pounds at taxpayers' expense to hire one of the most luxurious private jets on the market. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Even Lex Greensill didn’t transport him around the world in this luxury

3. "The people voted for a party, not a person" was the excuse for not holding a general election when PM changed between elections (see the last 4 PMs). Can't have it both ways! So: by-election for Poulter, or give us the GE we should have had when you changed to Sunak
Here's why I think there should always be a by-election when an MP defects, like Dan Poulter did. 1. MPs (except independents) stand on a party manifesto. Those are the policies the constituency electorate voted for. Now, without a vote, the MP's policies have changed.
I used to think when someone died it automatically would be on the news. When my nan died when I was 6, I spent all night waiting for Trevor McDonald to report on it and tell the world the bestest lady ever was gone.

Just The Mail getting fact checked by the Met Police… The fact that this rag is still treated as a ‘newspaper’ is a national embarrassment.
This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns. The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police. As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
Mail. Vile. See a problem. Find anything to make it worse. Populism at work. Now watch the populist bandwagoners leap aboard.

The whole point of the EU single market is to cut red tape for people and businesses. It has succeeded, imperfectly but massively. So leaving the single market by definition massively increases red tape - and the only proper remedy is to get back in it.
These figures are eye-opening. The expected cost of the new border checks exceeds the £330 million estimated by the Gov by a factor of 10. When you take into account not only official charges but also a range of direct and indirect business costs. /1
