@johninsouthfla He quit a ministerial post (Brexit) and rejected a subsequent offer due to not wanting to be powerless. Collective responsibility is needed when a Minister but it certainly obscures people’s frustrations and public trust.

@shortthought I just wanted to know whether Baker believed this of Tory govts as well? I don't remember him saying this when he was a gov't minister.

#newsnight "Expect governments to be incompetent and drive prices up". Steve Baker. What I expected Adam Fleming to say was..."All govt's, Mr Baker?" Nope. Totally mute. Bring back Victoria Derbyshire.

@upnorthowen The market delivers social housing too but the market cannot do that either because govt makes development so damned expensive. Even councils say viability is the main challenge and that’s down to govt getting in the way! #newsnight

@MickCoffey2 He was a minister for NI, exiting the EU and cabinet, a post which was abolished. He wasn’t a decision maker; and ultimately, the PM is the decision maker! And while he was able to Minister, plenty were chopped as they didn’t do as the PM wanted. He’s also a critic of Tory govts.

@SteveBakerFRSA absolutely nailing government intervention making things more expensive. Government should be there to guide outcomes and intervene when necessary, not dictate opportunity and business models, which each govt increasingly does. @BBCNewsnight #newsnight

@Mayeezy_ No worries, the fact I gave up a few years ago and it still bothers me shows that you were correct!

@Everton__1234 @Luke3045 The guy on the mic chasing the guy with possession played poorly & perhaps you’re correct about rage baiting but it’s more likely that the guy in possession knew the moments to play & why holding at the back makes sense (if you can weather the dodgy pass penalty, which he did).

@Everton__1234 @Luke3045 Can’t agree. There is a reason the opponent waited until that time in the game to hit that long ball, after playing so poorly (doing nothing) for most of it. It’s something I used to do on occasion when I needed to win a final. It’s horrible and another reason I stopped playing

@Everton__1234 @Luke3045 Sorry but youre incorrect, not about his ability to press (which he didn’t do with numbers but did poorly focus on passing lanes); however, if you’ve played the game a lot, which your response suggests you have, you know how the script works & why choosing moments is so fruitful.

Officers respond to a call for a missing girl. They have the mother on the phone trying to help. What unfolds is wild as even the officers can't believe what they discovered. 👀

@OllieHolt22 lol, honestly. Years of saying we need to stop playing the best players and have a team, only for the manager to try and play the best but getting criticised for it. UK football opinion is hilarious.

If Jude Bellingham is left out of the starting line-up in the USA, Mexico and Canada this summer, it will go down as the greatest act of self-sabotage in England’s World Cup history. Column here: dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…

@ziptipgorb @thelordschef @AlraRayan @grok @HistoryUnd Im touching it right now buddy, it’s lovely out! And AI has been out for decades! Some of the progress has helped the general public understand and see that! Honestly, it is no wonder so many want to legislate for under 16s to not have social media!

Six inmates in Georgia were on a work detail when a deputy sheriff suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness. Instead of fleeing or attempting to take his weapon, they used his phone to call 911 and stayed by his side until help arrived. In gratitude for their actions, the

@hudclub @thelordschef @AlraRayan @grok @HistoryUnd No, I’m so comfortable with them I graduated to using a thesaurus, encyclopaedias and libraries. Etymology is really useful in times such as these. Two posts for you to lose control of your emotions.🤣
