I don't get it. The government is talking about implementing a new law to pardon the PO workers. They were wrongly convicted of a crime. Surely the conviction can just be overturned and compensation paid? Why the need for a new law? #PostOfficeScandal

The Truss Awards FFS. Can we just do away with resignation honours altogether?Just because you give money shouldn’t get you a gong. Keep them for people who serve their communities and make distinguished contribution to public life. NOT hacks and political grifters

I didn’t even put this appointment in the book but it is both enraging & ridiculous.
Unelected bureaucrat Charlotte Owen's maiden speech in the House of Lords,
"Its has been quite the journey getting to this moment.. A peerage is both an honour and a responsibility.. We live in a time of great change.. It is a confusing time"
"I must also thank the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson who put a great deal of trust in me. And I will be forever grateful not only for this, but his kindness and encouragement. I feel immensely privileged to have worked with him during my time an No 10"
"I was delighted that his commitment to delivering the Brexit referendum result. His optimism. His vision for levelling up the country. And for ensuring that life chances are fairly distributed. Resulted in the seismic election victory of 2019"
"Levelling up was a live and well decades ago"

If you think when Government Ministers boast about their record on child poverty they should be reminded the number of children in food poverty has actually doubled in the last year RT this widely. They have lost touch with all reality!
Government Minister @RicHolden is doing an interview round boasting about his party’s record on child poverty. One million children are now in destitute homes – an 88% rise since 2019 & number of children in food poverty has actually doubled in the last year. Let’s educate him

I sometimes get told by MPs that their patients “don’t mind if private companies deliver their healthcare”.
If you do mind, and want the NHS to stay out of private hands, please RT this. Let’s send MPs a message 💙

Did you know?
A new £100 million private hospital will be opening next year on the grounds of an NHS trust.
The new hospital will belong to a US-owned private healthcare company, HCA UK.
RT if you think everyone should be aware.

This is what happens when successive Tory Prime Ministers stuff the Lords with their mates.
Providing safeguards to UK-based victims of modern slavery rejected by 205 to 193.
Time limits on child detention defeated.

When the UK’s PM @rishisunak refuses to hold the super-wealthy accountable, it leads to a healthcare system like the one we have in the US. Or even the system in the time of Charles Dickens.
Sunak should just #TaxTheRich or change his slogan to "Make the UK Sick Again."
If a 2% tax on the UK's wealthiest can be the key to combat inequality and address urgent social needs, ever wonder why @RishiSunak is avoiding it? 🤔

Utterly appalling. I would add astounding but I don't think anything this government does should surprise us anymore.

Dear @RishiSunak
This morning you said you hadn't read the report into Boris Johnson.
Now that you have, and seen the depth of his dishonour and disgrace, please could you ask his Majesty to withdraw Johnson’s Honours List. A dishonoured PM shouldn't be allowed to submit a list

He partied.
He boozed.
He cavorted.
He lied.
And if he’d hadn’t have run away, he’d have been suspended from the Commons for 90 days.
Our cowardly, corrupt, mendacious, indecent, pathologically dishonest former prime minister. @BorisJohnson - a stain on parliament.
Eric Baber retweeted
This should be played when the Partygate Committee release their findings.
People followed the rules in the most extreme circumstances.
Johnson is having a major tantrum because he thinks he is above those rules and how dare anyone hold him to account.
Heartbreaking phone in.
You MUST listen to this.
A lady called Philipa Bateman phoned in to "BBC Any Answers" last week and talked about her experience of the lockdown and her opinion of @BorisJohnson.
WARNING ⚠️ this is POWERFUL!
Please share.

Sunak is set to approve FIFTY honours for friends of Boris Johnson including a peerage for @NadineDorries
