I fought 2 mayoral campaigns on this scheme. Andy desperately wanted it to fund his yellow bus project. But once the people found out about it, he bottled it. And wasted a load of taxpayers money. He then put up council tax for his buses!!

This is John-Paul Marks - make him famous. He approved @AngelaRayner's ability to commit tax fraud with no consequences. HMRC First Permanent Secretary & CEO: April 2025–present; approved by Starmer. Normal Oxbridge grad in sociology stuff. Principal Private Secretary to Yvette Cooper at DWP He presumably loves illegals being brought in by RNLI because he helps give them lots of money. The sort of civil servant who needs to go.

@MrRBourne There’s a man totally in love with his own publicity….

He is going to be a complete and utter disaster.

@darrenpjones The British Empire ran vasts countries and 450m people with only 1000 civil servants.

Each department in government will now have its own delivery unit, led by a senior civil servant. And every Secretary of State and Minister of State will be given a new “delivery advisor” in their private office to support this work. These new delivery functions will be accountable to both their Secretary of State and to my team. This builds on my recent work setting up the new joint No10 and Cabinet Office Delivery Unit.

@EJWoolf @PaulAspinall5 Awwww don’t break the fantasy

Has anyone told him, he hasn't even won the by-election yet

@canadian_royal1 Splendid idea

Let's blackout Meghan Markle's trip and not give her free PR. We are always sharing her garbage trips and failings, but if we never shared anything at all, she might disappear and fail even more than she already has. There are more of us than her bully squad. #MeghanMarkleBlackout

I am not a policy wonk, but seems like normie Britts want their country back

@Katsbigopinion2 @HazbeenHenry Silly Meghan.

Yeah, no duh. She’s the future Queen, you’re just the wife of a prince.

ITV is filming a drama about Queen Elizabeth I that will portray her as a trans-identifying man who hid his sex and became queen. She will be played by a trans-identifying man, of course. I am so tired of this sh!t. Any historical woman who stepped outside of the narrow gender roles men tried to force upon her gets transed, and this particular idea is even more insulting to women than portraying Elizabeth as a woman who secretly identified as a man. Almost as insulting is the stupidity level of the entire premise. Had Elizabeth been born male, she’d have been Henry VIII’s immediate successor, Anne Boleyn wouldn’t have lost her head, and Jane Seymour would never have wed Henry or produced Edward. We’d also have avoided Bloody Mary. There would have been absolutely no reason to hide a male child’s sex from a king who so desperately wanted a male heir that he broke from the Church in an effort to secure one. archive.ph/nUIxV

@danielmgmoylan @Iromg I think “going to be” is superfluous in this sentence

Andy Burnham is going to be a total disappointment, isn’t he?

@Daily_Express Can’t we block them from returning?

With speculation rife that the Sussexes want to return to Britain, are they really needed anyway? #DailyExpress #Echobox=1778906768" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">express.co.uk/news/royal/220…

@sage1411 @lolabela100 Thank you 🙏

I change my mind. I think Rachel wants the attention of her trip. I plan to black it out and starve her of oxygen.

Wes Streeting just called to Rejoin the European Union. Wes Streeting just turned his back on the Labour heartlands. They really don’t care about you. They don’t want to fix the borders. They don’t want to end mass uncontrolled immigration. They don’t want to respect your democratic vote for Brexit. And they certainly don’t want to stop treating you like second class citizens in your own country. Vote Reform.

RESIGNATION LETTER TO @AndyBurnhamGM Following my comments yesterday in the media around the huge failures in my opinion of part 4 of @AndyBurnhamGM independent review in Manchester, I am sharing my resignation letter sent to him and his deputy last January 2024, as I have been approached by numerous news outlets for more information. I share it below in full. I always try to give credit where credit is due, and I will remain eternally grateful to @AndyBurnhamGM for instigating the Independent reviews into Op Augusta in Manchester and Op Span in Rochdale. They both confirmed without doubt that all I had said was true and that has been incredibly important to me and survivors as we tried to make sense of all that happened. The final part of the process however was meant to be an “ Assurance Review” and it was meant to deliver assurances that CURRENT practises in @gmpolice regarding their treatment of vulnerable victims of sexual abuse were now fit for purpose, based on current evidence. Instead what happened in this 4th part of the review was not honest, transparent, or in any way fit for purpose in my opinion. It’s a complex subject matter and there’s an awful lot to cover, but this letter below which I sent to @AndyBurnhamGM last January explains some of it, especially why I and @TMOFCharity resigned from a process in stage 4 that was little more than a tick box exercise. Even the two independent professionals who had carried out the previous 3 parts resigned, unwilling to put their names to something they knew was not in fact wanting to speak the truth. What I saw in Mr Burnham and @gmpolice was a willingness to say there had been huge “failures in the past” but when looking at action around failures still going on today, there truly was no “duty of candour” on display! Instead they turned away. Again. Once again the voices of those victims and survivors whose voices SHOULD have been front and centre of this report were totally silenced and blocked out of the “Assurance review” making it worthless. The establishment again “marking its own homework”. Just Like in @IICSAVSCP the 7 year statutory national enquiry for which we are currently taking this government to a Judicial Review, like in Oldham and in so many other cases throughout the country over the last 3 decades. So there is a willingness to admit past failures as that can no longer be denied, but there’s still a huge avoidance of addressing what’s still going wrong today. In other words continuing to turn away when what our country (and victims) need is a hard scrutiny at the problems TODAY, based on real life experiences of survivors and not a cover up yet again from those at the top of our PUBLIC institutions whose duty it is to act in my opinion. Our public servants, must begin to show courage, integrity, honesty, and bravery, something we have not seen in decades. And that’s has to change!!

@JuliaHB1 @ghost_wales @wesstreeting His majority at the last GE was 548. 🤔

Fine, @wesstreeting. IF you get elected as Labour leader, and IF you survive as PM until the next election, then you can promise a referendum on rejoining the EU in your manifesto and IF you get re-elected as Prime Minister, we can all have a vote on it. Anything else would be undemocratic. You know you can't win that referendum. But I'm very happy for you to try. BRING IT ON!

NHS SPENT £5,000 OF PUBLIC MONEY A DAY ON LAWYERS TO SILENCE A WHISTLEBLOWER Dr Kevin Beatt (@drbeatt) was one of the most respected cardiologists in the country. He pioneered heart attack treatment at Croydon University Hospital (@croydonhealth). And then a senior nurse was suspended mid-procedure, without his knowledge, and a 63-year-old patient named Gerald Storey died on the table. Dr Beatt was left for 20 minutes with a nurse who had no basic familiarity with the procedure. He called the decision to suspend the nurse "the most overtly reckless act" he had witnessed in his career. A coroner later agreed the suspension contributed to the patient's death. So Dr Beatt did what any responsible clinician would do. He raised concerns. Staffing shortages. Appalling equipment. Bullying of junior staff. Ageing radiation machinery putting patients and staff at risk. He kept raising them. For years. In September 2012 he was sacked for gross misconduct. The tribunal in 2014 was not impressed. It found there was "no evidence" Dr Beatt had an ulterior motive, that "extremely damaging and entirely false" allegations had been directed at him, and that a misleading press statement about his dismissal had been "calculated and was likely to cause damage to his reputation." Not only did Dr Beatt win, but the tribunal determined he had not contributed in any way to the dispute. That is unusual. Employers almost always manufacture some conflict to argue contributory fault. The trust's response? Appeal. Then appeal again. Then try the Supreme Court. The whole thing only ended when the Supreme Court refused the trust leave to appeal a Court of Appeal decision in Dr Beatt's favour. He was eventually awarded £857,110.25 in compensation, including £25,000 for injury to feelings and £7,500 in aggravated damages. During all of this, the GMC continued to investigate him even after he was exonerated by the tribunal. He struggled to find work. His career, his reputation, his finances: all ground down by the very institutions that were supposed to protect patients. In 2015 Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt (@Jeremy_Hunt) was criticised for refusing to intervene, saying it was a matter for the local NHS Trust, which at the time was spending £5,000 a day on legal fees to fight the man who tried to save a patient's life. The trust later said it was "pleased" to have the matter concluded. They also said they "strive to ensure staff feel supported to raise concerns." Genuinely extraordinary stuff. Dr Beatt described what happened to him in his own words: "What they do is, if things have gone badly wrong, instead of saying things have gone badly wrong, they try to cover it up." A landmark case. A destroyed career. A dead patient. And an NHS trust that kept fighting right up until the highest court in the land told it to stop.

Explain to me why you should be able to inherit a £3 million tenancy without paying inheritance tax but not a £3 million house your parents actually bought and paid for.

A VERY apt joke that apparently is doing the rounds re Andy Burnham...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “A Blairite, Brownite, Corbynite and Starmerite walk into a Manchester bar and the barman says: ‘What can I get you, Andy?’”

@ARamblingRoyal Probably because she’s so disliked- particularly by monarchists.

Why would Meghan not feel comfortable in Britain ? 😂🤣 Another pity piece for Harry-with no intentions of going “Harry genuinely believes Balmoral could be the place where things finally start healing. Meghan still doesn’t feel fully comfortable in Britain,”-Insider

@PolitlcsUK Why would @wesstreeting wish to overturn a democratic referendum by the public? Why does he think so little of democracy? He’s hanging on by 540 votes. Hope he’s okay being ousted at the next GE because his constituency will not vote Labour.
