@EssexPR @TalkTV @TVKev @DobbsandPolicy @SamaramGill @PCBarnes123 Nor did she do Easter messages apart from COVID. Tbh I believe it would have been better for him to have done one but I'm not religious so I'm not unduly worried. Just some of the angst feels confected.

@scullyp @TalkTV @TVKev @DobbsandPolicy @SamaramGill @PCBarnes123 So ?… he’s the head of the church, so meant to be defender of that faith, not faiths. He did a message for EID, not Easter. Thats why so many people have the hump. The late queen didn’t do EID messages.

Adam Brooks says King Charles is "pandering to Islam" by not delivering an Easter message. Watch Plank Of The Week on YouTube! youtu.be/20R280ZWfGI @TVKev @EssexPR @DobbsandPolicy @SamaramGill @PCBarnes123

@TomGoldie92 @LukeTryl You remember well. I announced it 4 years ago, alongside banning fake reviews. I got reshuffled to another department before it came to Parliament gov.uk/government/new…

@LukeTryl Wasn’t this a Tory policy? I’m sure I remember @scullyp announcing it.

Another e.g. of a relatively small policy but one which helps address an every day irk, and a costly one too. Over past year Government has seemed to get much better at doing more of these tackling 'every day frustrations' policies and small cost of living fixes.

@LauraAvocado @afneil This is true as far as I understand unlike other City Mayors where they are also the Police & Crime Commissioner where you can't also be an MP (although Labour are scrapping that role)

@scullyp @afneil Technically, he can still run for Mayor *and* PM. It's unprecedented but there again, so are many things that have happened since July 2024 and there are no laws to prevent him.

Reports that Keir Starmer to appoint Sadiq Khan to House of Lords. Why does a socialist PM still make people ‘lords’ in 2026? Why does a socialist Mayor even think of accepting? Labour 2024 manifesto promised to ‘replace’ the Lords with a ‘more representative second chamber.’ What happened to that pledge? Labour has a massive majority and should be able to push through long-overdue radical reform. Or just abolish it. But like every PM before him Starmer has found it convenient to keep the Lords largely as it is (bar getting rid of hereditaries, a modest change). In this case ‘elevating’ Khan to remove him as a leadership threat.

@suzyglitter1 @afneil I meant in the actual results but yes, that's always been a factor in London

@scullyp @afneil Hardly strong Paul when you consider how many eligible Londoners don't vote!

@smashdad @redhotcook @LBC @NickFerrariLBC and you said "your gradual realisation", not that of other Conservatives.

@smashdad @redhotcook @LBC @NickFerrariLBC and we got diverted away from tenancies to talk about my decision to step down. Note the word 'my' so not sure why other Conservatives in the country are relevant in this already irrelevant conversation.

'No way! The council really said that? That’s outrageous!' @NickFerrariLBC is left in disbelief by the advice the council gave caller Mohammed after receiving an eviction notice from his landlord.

Great piece of work by @NextGenTories. It's good to see a vision that's grounded and transformative. We can't just keep rehashing the same approach to politics in a different cloak.

@smashdad @redhotcook @LBC @NickFerrariLBC This is the problem with this conversation, this is the second time you've told me what I was thinking.

@scullyp @redhotcook @LBC @NickFerrariLBC Sorry, but there was. At one point, mid-Johnson it became an absolute certainty but the collective Tory party awareness up until that point was only increasing very gradually. Johnson was your big vote winner after all... 🙄🍻

@smashdad @redhotcook @LBC @NickFerrariLBC (there was nothing gradual about the realisation the conservatives weren't going to get back in)

@smashdad @redhotcook @LBC @NickFerrariLBC No. I stood down because I didn't want another 5 years of psychodrama in parliament. But we've moved a long way from the plight of renters.

@redhotcook @smashdad @LBC @NickFerrariLBC But you'll rush to calling me a fool without bothering to look beyond a label. Your profile mantra is admirable but you're not actually backing it up with looking beyond headlines.

@redhotcook @smashdad @LBC @NickFerrariLBC As well as a couple of labour councils. That was all within a total of five months in that position

@redhotcook @smashdad @LBC @NickFerrariLBC But ultimately this is about supply of housing of differing types of ownership/tenancies. I've made myself hoarse in saying we need to actually deliver on housing supply rather than gimmicks.

@smashdad @redhotcook @LBC @NickFerrariLBC But it works brilliantly in pushing people into groups that forget how to engage a bit of critical thinking and understanding.

@smashdad @redhotcook @LBC @NickFerrariLBC I represented a council ward in a Libdem borough, working under landlord/tenant legislation from a Labour government & then a constituency in a Conservative government. No one has got this right. Tribalism pushes parties towards core support & further from workable solutions
