WHY has the government’s comms team been so utterly terrible at saying what this caller does in under a minute?

The case for Brexit has got stronger not weaker over the last 10 years
🇬🇧UKJ0N🇬🇧@ukJ0N
Danny Kruger takes apart the panel calling for the UK to rejoin the EU. He rightly highlights that the EU’s value to the world economy has halved over the last generation. Better trade deals yes, but rejoining is not the answer. Exactly right. @danny__kruger #ReformUK

@JuliaHB1 @DanNeidle Can’t believe she hasn’t jumped when you snapped your fingers. Does she know who you are?

I've asked Angela Rayner to publish her correspondence with HMRC. That will remove any doubt anyone has. Have you made the same point to tax expert @DanNeidle ? 🤷🏻♀️
Dave Penman@FDAGenSec
Julia, I just want you for a moment to explore the possibility that HMRC may have access to information and facts that you don’t. They may have expertise in complex tax law, decades of experience and a commitment to impartial decision-making, often making decisions that Govts don’t like. So maybe, just maybe, this is the right decision but for some, politically inconvenient?

@MrHarryCole Five fraud investigations on him while he was an MEP? A bit like Lance Armstrong, no smoke without fire.

EXC: “He who pays the piper picks the tune?”
“Hang on a second. Hang on a second. I can't be bought by anybody.”
Nigel Farage responds to £5m donor investigation insisting “I'm not and never have been” a crook
Now claims it was “reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years”

@KateEMcCann @NeilDotObrien Liars always find it hard to remember what line they’ve used before.
English
Nigel Farage claims the details of a £5m donation “shouldn’t even be public” and states it was an unconditional “reward for campaigning for Brexit”. Previously Reform UK have said the donation was to cover Mr Farage’s security costs for life

@Nigel_Farage @KevinJAlderton1 Trust me even if you was given a billion pounds we don’t care… we are just grateful you are still trying, we are very grateful - thanks Nigel 🙂

This is fake news by the establishment media who will do anything to hurt Reform as we challenge their cosy consensus.
I had passed proof-of-funds and the relevant checks before receiving the gift.
Sky News did not publish that part of our statement despite knowing the truth.

@bobstev53681908 @wrong_kennedy Bob, the turnstiles opened at 1pm. 10100 tickets for the Leppings Lane end - do the Maths. Even with an even flow that’s 12 people per minute through each turnstile. Even then if they’d closed the gate across the tunnel it would all have been avoided.
English
@wrong_kennedy My Q's. Was there a rush to get in? Facts: 7 turnstiles. 24,000 tickets allocated, apparently. Many fabs arrived late.
English
1. At Hillsborough, fans were so tightly packed in the Leppings Lane concourse that nobody could charge anywhere. The exit gates were opened at police direction to relieve overcrowding.
2. There’s no evidence of any volume of ticketless fans at Hillsborough as the Health & Safety Executive, consulting engineers and police counts found that there were fewer fans on the terraces than ticket sold - see the analysis heard in court, which established that ticketless fans were not a factor in the disaster, in the post following this
3. The 2016 Hillsborough Inquest jury found *unanimously* that fans did not cause the disaster, nor even contribute to causing it
4. This footage is wheeled out regularly and always attracts comments like yours, but the big picture is that around 100,000 Merseysiders went to Wembley that day, stood side by side peacefully on the terraces, and there were only a handful of arrests inside and outside the stadium, and far fewer than other finals
Mark Hooper@mjhoops45_mark
@FootballInT80s So- Liverpool fans didn’t charge the turnstiles to gain illegal entry at Hillsboro but risk a big fall at Wembley?

@MartinDaubney Anything to distract from Farage and his dodgy dealings eh Martin? Definitely one rule for him and one rule for the rest.

RAYNER & THE TWO-TIERED TAXMAN?
Rayner has been cleared. Both she & Labour will hope that's the end of it. But it won't be
Whatever the truth, there will be the stench of corruption. Of "one rule for us, one rule for them". Of Animal Farm socialists in it for themselves
Labour sees Rayner as an asset. But most voters see the opposite. They see an Establishment taking care of itself - and the huge desire to "drain the swamp" will only rise

@JuliaHB1 You must be devastated. All that energy you expended on a woman who should know her place.

@DPJHodges Strange, you've posted more in the last 24 hours about the Celtic game last night than you have about Farage's murky dealings. You have reposted one tweet about the investigation into Farage and that's it.

There was breathless newspaper coverage because the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was forced to resign after being found to have breached the Ministerial Code.
richard bacon@richardpbacon
There was so much breathless newspaper coverage of this story. It never seemed to be about very much. I don’t like being this reductive but it really has always seemed like the right wing press has a massive problem with labour women. Farage takes 5 million 🤷
English
@BethRigby How about reporting on the good news, such as 0.6% growth in the 1st quarter, waiting lists coming down etc. Doesn't take much to find out such things what with you being a journalist and all.

Where are we at today?
Am told by one senior figure that the PM’s meeting ministers in his study last night didn’t necessarily help matters. “Didn’t make it better” says one source. They tell me PM’s “argument was that a leadership race would be chaos but these are serious people wanting to hear how he'll put it right”.
On Streeting, allies tell me the plan if for him to resign today. Different sides saying different things. Streeting allies tell me he has, PM supporters don’t think he has. I am told that his people were calling around MPs on the left who had called on the PM to go, seeing if they would lend votes to Streeting, which is why some saying they don’t think he he has the numbers. Either way, it’s very hard to see how Streeting now doesn’t resign at this point.
Burnham: His allies say watch for him doing something today. There is an effort to get Burnham into this race and that means giving him time to get back to SW1 and slowing down the process by which nominations open and close. Burnham being locked out would be problematic given his support in membership and PLP. This is now one senior figure put it: “There is a desire to make sure whatever happens resolves leadership stuff once and for all and that someone has legitimacy”
Rayner meanwhile has set herself up for a run, announcing this morning that she has been cleared of wrongdoing by HMRC, paid the stamp duty owed at the higher rate. I understand that Rayner is prepared to put herself forward if required
English
@TVKev Well she hasn't taken a £5m back hander which obviously came with no strings attached. Is your problem with her that she's a labour politician, a woman or she grew up in a working class environment?
English
Rayner gets cleared. Farage gets investigated. The inate corruption of the left-wing establishment. Welcome to the ruins of once great Britain...

@Peston Weren’t you one of the people screaming for her head?
English
There is a question here for the prime minister, which is whether he over-reacted in accepting her resignation
ITV News@itvnews
Angela Rayner has told ITV News she has been cleared of any wrongdoing concerning her tax affairs. The former Deputy Prime Minister says she “never wanted to avoid paying tax” and she had been “hurt” by the controversy, adding: “It hurt me because I had to then talk about my son and his personal circumstances...It's not fair on him.”

@geekgoddess2024 @PolitlcsUK I’ve worked with politicians from various parties over the years. I have found the majority have entered with the desire to improve society even when I might not have agreed with how they wanted to do that. I don’t believe that is the case with Farage.
English
@Coachpotatoes @PolitlcsUK Funny how “ordinary people” suddenly become imaginary the moment they support someone you don’t like politically.
English
🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage is now being investigated by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner for not declaring the £5m gift he received from billionaire Christopher Harborne
English
@geekgoddess2024 @PolitlcsUK If you think he’s in politics to help the “ordinary people” there’s a bridge for sale you might be interested in.
English
@Coachpotatoes @PolitlcsUK That’s partly why supporters reject the idea that he “needs” to manufacture views for money in the way people imagine a classic grifter would.
