The politics of a country in decline. Not a single word about wealth creation, without which none of this nonsense can be financed. It’s deeply pathetic. If people fall for this left-wing populist drivel we’ve ceased to be a serious country.

The Burnham manifesto: •Rejoin the European Union •Break the fiscal rules to borrow more for defence. Thus destroying the fiscal rules… •Extensive devolution, including tax powers. •A wealth tax •Nationalise water, energy, utilities, and what remains of rail •A land value tax •A council tax revaluation •A ‘National Care Service’ •Rollout of nationalised bus franchising, modelled on Greater Manchester’s Bee Network •A £2 single fare bus cap •A fully elected upper chamber to replace the Lords •Bring in “free transport for teenagers in England.” •No welfare reforms. •Build more council houses. By borrowing £40 billion… •Scrap the whipping system in the Commons. An old favourite, truly barmy… •MAYBE: Proportional representation. Once behind the No10 door, people tend to lose interest in that one…

And that is why I don't think Robinson will never work with Aberdeen.

@MichaelLCrick @MattChorley He only got the job because he wasn't Margaret Thatcher or Michael Heseltine. He wasn't selected for who he was but who he was not. He only won in 92 because Kinnock was a weak opponent. He had a growing economy between 92 and 97 but was hammered by New Labour under Blair.

John Major speaks so much sense in this Newsnight interview. He had huge difficulties in his six and a half years as PM, but almost thirty years on from leaving office he's become the wisest of our nine living prime ministers.

“The first role of any Government… is to leave something better for the next generation than your generation inherited - this is not done now” Ex-PM Sir John Major says young people are inheriting a “more difficult” and “less favourable world”. #Newsnight

@LizWebsterSBF The UK is paying the price for the Civil war in the Tory party.
English
History lesson for today: Parties ignore deep internal divisions at their peril.
The EU question didn’t go away, it festered for decades until the referendum.
Worth listening to Major’s full take - from 3pm onwards.

⏰ Saddened to hear John Major tell @MattChorley about 1990s when the seeds of Brexit were sown.
The old guard, the wartime generation, were pro-European bc they never wanted to see another European war, retired around 1992. They were replaced by younger, far more Eurosceptic MPs.
Suddenly the huge pro-Europe majority in the Conservative Party vanished.

Murphy absolutely fascinates me. Never known another person whose fully aware when the camera is on him. Every stride round the table and facial expression exaggerated for maximum effect. Proper full on narcissist with zero self awareness. Proper strange fella #snooker

@TheParkheadF A good 'Celtic man' is that code for Catholic,blatantly sectarian.
English
Tommy Sheridan has come out and said he wants Alex Neil to be the next Celtic manager.
His reasoning?
“He knows the Championship very well” and “he’s a good Celtic man.”
Now I’m going to be honest here that logic alone shouldn’t be anywhere near enough to land the Celtic job. Knowing the Championship and being a fan doesn’t equal being ready to manage a club of this size, with the expectations, pressure, and European demands that come with it.
We’ve just come through a season where recruitment, structure, and decision-making have been heavily questioned, the next appointment has to be elite, modern, and forward-thinking not sentimental.
This isn’t about who loves the club the most it’s about who can take it to the next level.
Do you agree with Tommy or is this another “jobs for the bhoys” shout?

@HerdImmunity12 @ANCranswick @georgegalloway Typical horseshit from Galloway,why is the jute wearing a hat,you're bald,get over it.

News🇬🇧🚨: "The prosecution involving the 3 Ukrainian rent boys, appearing at the Old Bailey today maintain that they have never met Keir Starmer and were paid to firebomb his front door and back doors by a Russia sounding chap they've never met called El Money". @georgegalloway.
You couldn't make this shit up, but someone has.
Not a SINGLE MSM outlet is reporting on this due to a closed court reporting measure from this pathetic series of wet wipes.
Veteran broadcaster and Leader of the @WorkersPartyGB George Galloway gives a fascinating update in a curious case that seems to be the workings of a poorly written Hollywood script.

Bye kick,back stick,todders all horrendous phrases.

Darren Fletcher, the commentator on TNT Sport, has just claimed he's never heard the term 'bye kick'. Is that just a Scottish thing? #UCL

There cannot be a Briton alive who was not ashamed of our unelected King today. God Save The King? No—save us from monarchy. Time to abolish the crown. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Did we ever get an explanation for this?
One of the worst VAR errors of all time, directly impacted the result. Still hard to believe, really

King Charles refuses to shake @YvetteCooperMP's greasy little paw, Donald Trump spots the danger of Queen Camilla shaking her paw and does the gentlemanly thing, and jumps in to rescue her.
What a hero.

@CavanUlster The 6 counties are still part of the UK, have been for hundreds of years, they have never been ruled by Dublin.

@StevenReith British rule yes (we all know the horrors and atrocities of that period until they were defeated and thrown out).
British, never.
GOD SAVE YOGI BEAR!

A United Ireland has only existed while under British rule. Before we took control Ireland was made up of separate kingdoms, there was no unitary state. GOD SAVE THE KING.

@StevenReith @paulmurphy68 @rcf14a @Nigelhg No it isn’t. And even if it was, the claim was always that the term was geographic, not political. So irrelevant on all fronts. Ireland was never British.

@TheGriftReport @ann_phipps10957 This lady did a terrible thing. She apologized. Rather than doing so she should t have elevated her complaint and demanded that the employee be replaced by someone who could speak fluent Dnglish. Sometimes the problem with ‘inclusion’ is what we are expected to include.

@rcf14a @Nigelhg @paulmurphy68 Ireland has never been British. That some oddballs like you desperately want the Irish to join your imaginary club is both bizarre to watch and always hilarious but you really do need to find someone else to shout “you’re British” at.
English
No part of Ireland is British, that's a simple geographical fact.

Just like Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands are BRITISH! 🇬🇧

This is a complete lie.
Lady Victoria Starmer no longer resides in Downing Street with the children, is more miserable than she’s ever been, and wants him out of the job ASAP.
I feel sorry for her being used as a political tool based on a fantasy.
