@campbellclaret Brexit allowed us to vaccinate so many. Remoaners forget that.

How many of them told us Brexit would be great and easy and lead us to the sunlit uplands?

@mikegalsworthy We need so many more workers. Why not ask the refugees if they want a job, instead of vilifying them. Think what a benefit they would be. It is wrong to punish theses poor people
English
Our government seem to think that refugees have the right to claim asylum under international law...
...but not the right to claim asylum to the UK.
Therefore, they consider the UK to be outside international law. Which is very on brand.

@mikegalsworthy Theses FTA’s are not much good when you are lying dead from exhaust fumes

This thread is a must-read. 👇

I’m only one paragraph into the government’s new export strategy – from Boris Johnson’s foreword no less – but the signs are not good. Let’s do a quick fact-check on four of the Prime Minister's points, and remember this is just the first paragraph...(1 of 6).

@AngelaRayner So sad that nobody has the balls to stand up for what is right

@jessphillips The Tory Party is totally immoral, listening to Edwina Curry saying the is the 2020,s and we should only go by Covid regulations made me feel sick

Hope my husband doesn't start putting me first Matt Hancock style.

In resigning, Matt Hancock has “put his family first” claims Brandon Lewis 🤔

@Anna_Soubry The lack of public morality in politics is shocking. I hope and pray that the Labour Party has more backbone

The “problem” is the husband.

@MrRobertBob1 Quite agree, I cannot leave as I am old and won’t last much longer but this country is horrible. Anyone would think the Conservatives want the best for ordinary people, all they stand for is making the rich richer and smashing everything and everyone who stand in their way

@campbellclaret @BenPBradshaw I wonder if Boris cares what’s happening? I don’t think so
English
Listening to one of my fave German podcasts and who pops up speaking vg German but @BenPBradshaw .... ! Großbritannien auseinander? „Boris Johnson ist Hassfigur in Schottland“ ... beeindruckend Ben!! faz.net/podcasts/f-a-z…

Anything is possible but it requires like minded people to abandon outdated tribalism, to strike out and be honest and most of all to have the courage of their convictions.

Is it not still possible to hope that a coalition of like minded liberal & social democrats can emerge to overcome Tory populism? /1

@Anna_Soubry Ahh but you are English do you blame people for wanting to get away from Tory Westminster, even if it is good or bad for them?
English
I’m not voting for #BorisJohnson ‘s Conservatives - he lies, is lazy & incompetent & he’s led his party away from One Nation Conservatism. #Starmer has a long way to go to make his party electable. I have two votes tomorrow - I’m voting #LibDems & #Green ....

@greggwatson90 Maggie thatcher was worse, these are just as tick and uncouth as two short planks
