Trudeau calls for wider Social Benefits from Economy in speech to German Business elite. ctv.news/QEI3nBU #SocialProcurement #CETA

@BCTransit Awful service levels and antiquated exact coin only payment option today, while trying to get from Hornby to Comox. Over 2.5 hour gap between busses, necessitated a $65 cab ride to rejoin the bus service. This is not how we get people out of their cars and onto busses.

Social progress is the primary purpose of governments. This involves going beyond market shaping to becoming effective System Stewards.

@vicderbyshire @DrOsitaMba @rebecca_wh50893 @nazirafzal @nazirafzal People place a high level of trust in your words and integrity. If you misspeak or get things wrong, it's important for you to apologise and correct the public record. "My knowledge of this comes from what Nazir Afzal said publicly in 2018 in his BBC interview."

@DrOsitaMba @rebecca_wh50893 @nazirafzal Do read the article

Re: Home Office guidance supposedly issued in 2008 advising police not to intervene in child grooming cases because victims had ‘made an informed choice about their sexual behaviour’? BBC Verify carried out extensive searches of HO guidance across that period & found no evidence any document containing that advice exists 1/2

@implausibleblog Painful to watch Nadine Dorries

Wow! Must watch car crash interview with Nadine Dorries Nadine Dorries, "I'm a victim of child sexual abuse as well, through the Church of England" Victoria Derbyshire, "When did you realise you wanted another inquiry?" ND, "When the call came for one" VD, "From Elon Musk?" ND, "I wasn't aware the problem was as widespread as it was... The inquiry was more further reaching than the grooming gangs.. A national inquiry on the grooming gangs and the people who knew" VD, "So why didn't the Conservatives do that?" ND, "That's a good question" VD, "You were in government" ND, "No, I was Culture Secretary, this didn't go anywhere near my desk" VD, "You were sat around the cabinet table" ND, "The entire time I was in cabinet this was never discussed" VD, "Why?" ND, "I.. I.." VD, "Because there are a number of Conservatives who were in government who are calling for it now" ND, "I can't answer the question.. A good person who can answer the question would be Suella Braverman and Priti Patel" VD, "There's no record of you speaking in the parliamentary chamber about any of the local inquiries or ever calling for a national inquiry" ND, "You don't have to stand up in the chamber and speak about something to support something.. I attended meetings in committee rooms" VD, "Tomorrow the Conservatives are calling for another inquiry.. That's despite the Conservatives setting up that 7 year £200 million independent inquiry on child sexual abuse.. And then the Conservative government didn't implement any of the 20 recommendations.. Isn't calling for another one the very definition of political opportunism?" ND, "Frequently inquiries take place and none of the recommendations are implemented" VD, "The same people who didn't implement those recommendations calling for another inquiry, isn't that the definition of political opportunism?" ND, "Its a definition of what we need to do to fix how government deals with inquiries" VD, "You had 14 years to do that" ND, "Dealing with recommendations made from people outside of Westminster, the people who put them in place are civil servants" VD, "So it's the civil servants fault?" ND, "No, what I'm saying your dealing with something outside of the normal processes so maybe it can't be delivered by government" VD, "Well the Conservatives didn't deliver any of the 20 recommendations" Narrator: Nadine Dorries blames the process for why the Conservatives didn't deliver, while Labour use the process to start delivering, make it make sense
