The Post Office scandal shows the power of television and television drama in particular to channel injustice. If there are any TV writers looking for a subject that could do with the same treatment, the cladding/building safety scandal is just waiting for you…

@MrHarryCole Lawyers represent people who do bad things. That’s the rule of law. That is civilisation. You owe your readers an apology for insulting them with this infantile, anti-democratic bilge. Cringingly embarrassing.

@GBNEWS As I recall the Conservative led coalition was in power at the time.

Post Office scandal: 'People went to PRISON because Ed Davey wouldn't listen' says Lee Anderson gbnews.com/news/post-offi…

@LeeAndersonMP_ What is it about GB News presenters and commentators that they either don’t know what “mettle” means or can’t spell it?

Post Office Scandal. I said 👇 "Sir Ed Davey chose to believe the bosses not the workers without it seems hardly paying any attention to what the sub-postmasters were saying "This whole debacle shows us the mettle of a man who appears not fit for purpose. If he had an ounce of dignity he would stand down at the next election. Perhaps a stint in a Post Office would do him good." express.co.uk/news/politics/…

It would be nice if one of lessons from the PO scandal were to be that, rather than be outraged years later by a TV drama, people & politicians should speak out about scandalous events happening right now, with little public outrage.

@christopherhope You and he must explain why you don’t know that the Post Office runs its own prosecutions. The DPP has nothing to do with it. As the programme made clear. Withdraw your Tweet.

Starmer must explain why he didn’t intervene in Horizon scandal, says Nigel Farage telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

@latimeralder I think your maths is dodgy. £3 trillion / £40,000 is 75,000,000 which is 10,000,000 more than the population of the UK.

UK government wants us to spend in excess of £3,000,000,000,000 to hit #NetZero by 2050. That's a lot of money! £40,000 a person. But nobody's ever told me what 'problem' it'll fix. Or how UK will be a better place as a result. Thoughts?

@GoodwinMJ @RishiSunak So? And what would you conclude if most people supported the death penalty for murder?

Once again, your reminder that more British people SUPPORT than oppose the Rwanda plan All Brits Support 46% Oppose 34% And crucially for @RishiSunak: 2019 Conservatives Support 70% Oppose 15% Leavers Support 64% Oppose 17% Baby Boomers Support 51% Oppose 33% Source: Deltapoll.

I’m in the same position. Scandalous.

@toryboypierce Could we focus on personal responsibility and liability not tinsel baubles? And as you’re a journalist perhaps you could read your copy for typos before posting.

In 2019 #paulavennels was awarded CBE for services to #PostOffice She is the embodiment of the #mrbatesvpostoffice scandal. She must be stripped off the gong

Attempts to smear Sir Keir Starmer with reference to the Post Office Horizon scandal take on new levels of absurdity here: KS became DPP in 2008 not 2006 Lee Castleton was sued in civil not criminal courts The Post Office has conducted its own criminal prosecutions for centuries

@toryboypierce Andrew Pierce redefines the meaning of “pivotal”.

Quick to blame Tory ministers for endless Govt blunders yet #LibDems leader #edwardjdavey refuses to accept blame for his pivotal role in #PostOfficeScandal Shameless

@GregHands @KCFConservative @Tony_Devenish @team_greenhalgh @victoriaB_F @CemKemahli @Josh_Rendall @JM_Afonso @HFConsCllrs When National Insurance goes up it’s called National Insurance (something for your good). But when it comes down it’s called a tax (something nobody likes). Who do you and the Tory Party think you’re kidding?

Today is Tax Cut day in Chelsea & Fulham. Check out my video welcoming the Conservative Government’s typical £450 per annum National Insurance tax cut for my constituents. Contrast with Labour’s inevitable tax rises to pay for their £28,000,000,000 extra borrowing.

@markjenkinsonmp @timfarron It’s more a question of the Tories sending in their attack dog @toryboypierce . Let us not forget there are plenty of murky stories on Tories.

@markjenkinsonmp @timfarron Stop making things up. No mention if Farron in the article. And the author @toryboypierce is a poor journalist.

@Chris4SCambs @SCambsTories When National Insurance goes up it’s called National Insurance (something for your good). But when it comes down it’s called a tax (something nobody likes). If you want to get elected start with honesty.

From this month, thousands of hard-working people across South Cambridgeshire will have their taxes cut by the Conservatives. Find out how much you will save>>> taxcuts.conservatives.com

@sophielouisecc “Not born in Britain” does not equal recently arrived. Prince Philip (remember him?) was born in Corfu. And he lived in several state owned properties at once. No-one objected to that, at least not on the ground that he was foreign born. And wasn’t Boris Johnson born in New York?

about 48%, close to half of all social housing in London goes to households headed by someone who was not born in Britain If young people want to have a future in our cities - it’s time we start calling for an end to this bullshit. Mass immigration is harming young people

@GBNEWS Just which demands are you worried about now? Hasn’t Brexit worked for you?

‘It is high time we take back control and end stifling EU demands,’ says John Redwood gbnews.com/membership/bre…

There has been a clear breakdown of the division between civil service communications and Tory Party lies and propaganda. When I think of the fury of the press and Tory MPs when Labour DIDN’T do this!! Their indifference is all part of the decline in standards over which1/2

@tomhfh When National Insurance goes up it’s called National Insurance (something for your good). But when it comes down it’s called a tax (something nobody likes). Who do you and the Tory Party think you’re kidding?

It’s a fact that tax collected in January is now lower than tax in December. It is also a fact that tax this January is higher than last January. No one should be celebrating a community note definitively saying “tax has not been cut”.
