@AaronBastani I agree on the Telegraph not being a serious paper these days. But this is the example you chose? Really? Sorry, but thinking back to school it wasn’t the brightest who had children in their teens or failed to obtain GCSEs. I want someone better running my country.

I swear the Telegraph was a serious paper when I was young. Not a million miles off the FT. A paper for sober provincial solicitors. Now it talks about teenagers ‘shagging’ each other and why, 30 years later, that means they shouldn’t be…politicians.

‘I think that something in me died the day that Jeremy Corbyn made Angela Rayner… the Shadow Education Secretary’ On this week’s Planet Normal @AllisonPearson explains why she doesn’t think @AngelaRayner is a suitable replacement for @Keir_Starmer 🎧 Listen here: telegraph.co.uk/planet-normal/

@FT Welcome to the yookay, where midwit judges who could barely get themselves past GCSE Maths decide what private employers pay people rather than the market.

As usual.. The right : Here are 100 videos of it happening. The left : Here is a thoughtpiece which explains that if you redefine words, the right is completely wrong.

Just got an uber, lovely chap from Bangladesh. Lives in a council flat in zone 1, but he's on a waiting list for a bigger place. I earn six figures and I grew up in the UK, I can't afford a zone 1 flat with 2 beds like his. Why can't people comprehend how wrong this is?

@DoomerOnThames @Electrofountain There is no one (except you) who is suggesting that council homes should be palatial. Affordable housing in Zone 1 (including council homes) is a no-brainer if you want a fully functioning city.

@tomfreirewhite @Electrofountain So you've basically agreed that there's a limit to how expensive council housing should be (by agreeing it shouldn't be a palace). All I'm saying is even a Zone 1 two bed is too much. Learn to engage your brain would be my advice for you.

@DoomerOnThames @Electrofountain apparently you're the one finding it difficult to read, as what I said was that housing was a right. Nothing to do with royal palaces, which you pay for anyway and seem to be OK with in contradiction with your basic idea that one should not have to pay for someone else's housing

@Electrofountain @DoomerOnThames There's no demand for Buckingham Palaces. there's demand for basic, dignified housing. Just as there is demand for water and food and education.

@DoomerOnThames @Electrofountain housing is not a commodity, you silly billy. It is a basic human right, like access to food and water and education. "are you suggesting that only people earning over a certain amount should be allowed to eat?"

@tomfreirewhite @Electrofountain Swap out housing with any other good. "are you suggesting that only people earning over a certain amount should be allowed to drive a BMW?" Yes. It should not be provided by my taxes.

@owenjonesjourno Journalist, who I imagine has never been in a physical altercation in his life, pontificating on police procedures to disarm terrorists... 🤦‍♂️

Hold on - what? If police officers think someone might be carrying explosives, protocol is to kick them in the head repeatedly like this? Is that actual police protocol? If so, how is it a wise police protocol? Can someone explain the reasoning?
Sky News@SkyNews

.@KamaliMelbourne: 'The video of the Golders Green terror attack arrest shows the officers kicking this individual in the head. Is that appropriate force to use?' Met Police Commissioner: "In most situations it wouldn't be reasonable, but in that situation it was reasonable."

@iGotADDi @AaronBastani “Just as violent” Where is the evidence for this? Didn’t Sky News confirm Afghans for example had 3X the charge (or conviction?) rates in the U.K. compared to Brits. Do your research before you post nonsense.
