I thought for years, more so recently, that as Labour (as they historically do - check) improve the economy and standards of living, the miserable and ignorant bigots among us would complain less and stop blaming immigration for their fucked up lies. And now chaos reigns. FFS.

The @Conservatives’ Alternative King’s Speech claimed the welfare bill is higher than income tax receipts “for the first time ever”. We’ve heard this a few times recently, but it’s not true. Welfare spending (including pensions) has been higher for years. fullfact.org/economy/income…

Good to see the right wing press in panic mode about the prospect of a Burnham premiership. They love to peddle their hatred of Starmer, but might end up contributing to the arrival of a far more progressive & effective PM. Careful what you wish for!

As a dramatist, I would be hard pressed to come up with a scenario more perfect than ‘The Makerfield Count’.

‘You have done a better job than any cabinet minister of telling us the story of Keir Starmer’s successes.’ As Wes Streeting resigns, Caller Martin reminds @TomSwarbrick1 of what the PM has delivered.

To be clear. This is bullshit.
David@Enigma0021

@neonsaxon @LBC @TomSwarbrick1 Section 127 of the communications act resulted in 12,000 prison sentences (hurty words, speech) … however it was first introduced under Blair.

@Enigma0021 do you think Putin is a corrupt and murderous dictator who has outlawed free speech, free elections and a free press and kills his political opponents to maintain his position?

@jonsopel @byrneplan That’s not what happened. And you know that. You vote for an MP, an individual, not even a party. If you want us to vote for a PM, you need to change our voting system entirely.

@JStayin @EdwardJDavey Yes. I’m aware. Shengen is a non-negotiable I believe (although issues with Ireland!). But… good. About bloody time. The Euro also but note that adoption has no enforced timeline. Look at Sweden.

@WasOnceLoved @EdwardJDavey Sadly we cannot reclaim our unique pre-Brexit privileges. We can only rejoin as a new applicant. We lost the budget rebate forever. (A discount of 66% to net contributions to the EU) We are unlikely to be able to opt out of the Euro. We will likely have to join Shengen too.

Oh what a tangled web they weave... Farage now admits he bought the Clacton house, having told everyone last year that his partner Laure Ferrari bought the house.
