@mopdenson So much devastation of irreplaceable countryside, all for half-a-railway getting nowhere near the northern communities it was supposed to be all about.

For over a decade I’ve spoken up about the need to protect the Chilterns AONB from #HS2. The ancient woodland behind me was saved with a tunnel but so much has been destroyed. What will the Whistleblower revelations in the Times today mean for decisions taken to destroy so much?

@danielmgmoylan @PlattSyd @crimlawuk Why is a Tory Lord following a random discussion about massive government fraud so closely, and interjecting to argue why it shouldn't be scrutinised?
🤔

@PlattSyd @crimlawuk Judged illegal by whom? Every EU member state suspended operation of the EU Procurement Directive at the start of the pandemic, insofar as it applied to medical equipment, etc.
Quite right too.

HMRC are still investigating and prosecuting fraud cases from 15 years ago.
By that yardstick every significant government contract since 2010 should be examined for possible fraud and corruption.
And a special unit should be given powers of prosecution and asset recovery.

@bbcnickrobinson Note that 3 out of 4 are due, in part, to the emboldenment of Russian foreign policy that you and other witless "journalists" facilitated through being asleep at the wheel for the last decade.

Is it me or is the news world spinning faster these days? In the space of a week we’ve had the end of Johnson’s political career, the proof that inflation is not under control, the drama of the missing Titan sub & an attempted coup in Moscow. Plague of locusts next? Or can we take Sunday off?

Shaun Bailey has previously said he had left shortly after the photo was taken to appear on Newsnight.
After we confronted him with evidence that showed he was in the building, he accepted this was "unintentionally inaccurate."

Incredible. So after Boris Johnson overruled security service advice not to send the son of a KGB agent to the House of Lords, officials felt they had no choice but to ask the Queen to intervene and block it instead.

Really, what is the point of Helen Whateley, Minister for Health and Social Care?
We have come to such a low bar for so many MPs.....how has the standard been lowered to this?
And good people, doctors, nurses, carers are dependent on her decisions...really?? Jeez....

#KayBurley - You always say that we have to abide by what the independent pay review body suggest? Helen Whately - "I don't believe that is what we've always said" #KayBurley - The chairman is chosen by the PM & you give the budgets... what's the point?

This really is out of order. Mocking someone talking about mental health support from the Samaritans. @Bren4Bassetlaw I suggest you take this down.

The calculations in his life have always been pretty simple, I think. How to ace exams, how to be head boy, how to get in to Oxford, how to get on Stanford’s MBA, how to make a ton of cash, how to become an MP, even how to become PM. And fair play to him. But he can’t do complex.

@Bren4Bassetlaw Ha you’d love that. Unlucky. I relentlessly ratio you because I’m in touch with the public mood. People fucking despise you. I was just playing before but you’ve done it now 😂 I can go insanely viral on four platforms you idiot. I’d say good luck it’d be insincere….

Vile Internet troll in personal issues shock. Cares little for the welfare of others however when spouting her foul-mouthed bile on twitter. Excuse me for playing the world’s smallest violin 🎻

@bucks_herald Regurgitating the Tory press-release doesn't constitute journalism.
How much more than £8m has HS2 disruption caused Aylesbury?
Tory mismanagement of HS2 has turned a good idea into a terrible project.

@Dominic2306 You 'won' on the back of a tub thumping, after dinner speaker who you knew was promoted beyond his ability. Happy to sacrifice the UK on the bonfire of both of your vanities. You may think you won something, but you lost the heart of the UK along the way.

@tractorgirly @WestNitaFBPE @Dominic2306 Try telling us what your prize was for winning there, champ...

@WestNitaFBPE @Dominic2306 Nonsense and you know it. Nobody is stopping you from travelling to Germany. Same old grievances. It was the people of The UK who voted for Brexit & the Conservatives were given the mandate to deliver it. You are just a sore loser like all remoaners.

3 years today since we won 80 majority: a chance to do so much with support across party & remain/leave lines AND from deep state, almost totally wasted, instead just more sw1 #shitcycle
