@Steve_Cooke @faizashaheen I’m a Chingford resident. Been voting Labour since 2001 in vain attempts to get rid of IDS. I’d already decided that I’d vote for Faiza if she stood as an independent.

@faizashaheen That's your decision, but I think it's the wrong call. You won't win or even come close to winning.

@GavinBarwell @Jeremy_Hunt Yep. The Conservative Party will hang on till the last possible moment, and then get annihilated. Hopefully, by that time, Hunt will have managed to fashion a working economy out of this shambles for Labour to work with.

Congrats to @Jeremy_Hunt. Very challenging inheritance - a lot resting on his shoulders. Whatever our politics, we should all wish him well as he tries to restore this country's economic credibility

@MaxBlumenthal Hang on, I think I’ve got this now. Putin invades Ukraine… threatens to use nuclear weapons against anyone who opposes him… and this is all the fault of the American left.

It's about time the intersectional wing of the War Party got called out for its deceitful politics. Now where is the rest of the US antiwar movement to increase the pressure?
Jose Vega — Vote Vega!@votevega26

My friend @Noggatone and I confronted Congresswoman @AOC on her support for Nuclear War and Ukrainian Nazis. I call her out for being a coward in the face of the party that will push us all into Nuclear war right now. Will she stand up like @TulsiGabbard and fight for peace?

@MichaelWarbur17 “By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing…kill yourself. It’s just a little thought; I’m just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day they’ll take root – I don’t know. You try, you do what you can. (Kill yourself.) Seriously though, if you are, do.” Bill Hicks.

Anyone who does this should be automatically fined for wasting police time, and made to pay a further levy for the impact on the local economy. Fines should double every 15 mins they remain stuck to the road.

@Okwonga Boris Johnson revelled in debating at the Oxford Union. It was where he learned that facts and quality of ideas are irrelevant when you have a few decent gag lines up your sleeve. Nuff said.

1/ This is what happens when people who have not had to worry about money in years are in charge of your country. To escape the boredom of extreme comfort, they create and then become obsessed by problems that don’t exist.

@WestminsterWAG Funny how car drivers never seem to get tarred with the same brush as every bad driver.

Cyclist on the tube this morning taking up three seats (one for her, two for the bike). No one dares ask her to move. A metaphor for the whole of London.

@MrHarryCole Must have been a different Liz Truss who just insisted at PMQs that she was committed to maintain public spending levels.

Truss and Kwarteng have now seen a draft of the Office of Budget Responsibility's independent assessment of their plans with one government source warning their forecast was "dire." thesun.co.uk/news/20079032/…

Mortgage rates are high enough. The Bank of England should say so and reassure markets. Inflation will fall next year as they forecast.

@Dave_MdaC I have no idea why you have fewer followers than me, you’re obviously much more interesting and insightful. The last thing I tweeted was a picture of Leigh Francis as Craig David.

With the PM modelling herself on Mrs Thatcher, I pulled this down from the shelves to see what Milton Friedman (one of Thatcher's favoured economists) may have to say about the current debate on uprating benefits.

Britain has a "long tail" of relatively low-paid work, says @tonywilsonIES. A tenth of households make just £7,000 a year before tax and benefit adjustments. Without benefits, some 21% of people would be below the poverty line in Britain, according to @OECD figures 6/12

@MatthewStadlen Don’t get me wrong, I want to get the Tories out as much as anyone. But no government is 100% good or bad.

@MatthewStadlen Same sex marriage is legal in the United Kingdom now, legislation passed under the coalition. Automatic enrolment into workplace pensions was introduced in 2012.
