Philip Schofield lied about an affair and you’d think from some in the media it was the biggest thing to happen since the Queen died. Johnson has also lied about affairs. But more importantly he lied to deliver Brexit, lied to become PM, lied to win an election, and lied 1/2

Giving nurses the pay increase they're calling for would cost around £1.8 billion per year. Scrapping the non-dom tax avoidance scheme used by the super-rich would raise much more - around £3.2 billion per year. The Tory refusal to pay nurses properly is a political choice.

The Tories gave nurses a £1,400 pay rise at the same time as reintroducing car parking fees of £1,300 per year. Those same Tory MPs gave themselves a £2,200 pay rise and get their car parking for free. You couldn’t make it up.

Fucking right we are.

Tory MP @danny__kruger claimed £3,598 on expenses for his utility bill last year. This was the highest claim by any MP to cover their bills in such a short duration. Retweet if you think Kruger should pay for his own gas and electric supply.

You can keep your roses, your chocolates, your fancy dinners and expensive jewellery. Give me fielders packed around the batter, the ball reversing and two batters desperately blocking it out with the light fading and my knees are gone. #swoon #PAKvENG

"most of our recent Prime Ministers have been to private school, when you consider the many disasters they have visited on us is that not a great excuse to close the damn things down?" 🙌 why not indeed #bbcqt twitter.com/bbcquestiontim…

My Rocco died suddenly yesterday. He blessed me with a lifetime of loyalty & limitless joy. I don’t speak about my private world normally. But wanted to share my profound sadness with anybody who has ever loved a dog. It is the deepest gift of unconditional love imaginable. 💔

Seeing England 6-2 is normally followed by Joe Root coming to the crease to dig us out of the shit again

The largest private providers of children’s homes are charging councils an average of £3,830 a week per child and pocketing an average 23% of that as profit. That's something to think about. No one should be getting rich from vulnerable children and young people.

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED!!! 😍😍😍😍 An audience member on Question Time just said changing the voting system to Proportional Representation is the answer to the current crisis. AND THE AUDIENCE CLAPPED!! #BBCQT

Remember when the BBC interviewed a taxi driver, thinking he was a tech expert.

We need a general election now. Please RT if you agree.

Be rude not to share this classic on a day like today ... The Day Today - Pound Stolen

Sums you up I think @trussliz ........

We should commemorate the Queen’s service and commitment to Britain internationally in a way that changes lives. Let’s create a Queen’s Development Agency charged with spending at least 0.7 % of British GDP in the most practical + flexible support for the world’s very poorest.

An update on an old Turkish proverb… You can remove a clown from the big top but it doesn’t stop it being a circus

If you would rather have a general election than this. Please retweet and we can see how far it goes.
