#bbcqt Danny mate, the cause of long term poverty isn't welfare, it's the growing wealth gap between the wealthy and the poor. And many many years of Tory governance since 1979. 32 of the last 46 to be precise.

#Frankenstein Sumptuous looking film, in this fresh take from Guillermo del Toro and wonderful to see the shots they filmed in Edinburgh.
Could've done with taking down The People's Story sign at the old Tolbooth in the Canongate right enough. Good to see they filmed right where I was born though!

The geordie "they're all the same" poppy man needs to be reminded Labour didn't tank the country in 2008. It was sub-prime mortgages that caused that in the States. So maybe voting Tory continually didn't turn out to be the right thing either #bbcqt

#bbcqt Graham Stewart talking about de-industrialising after Thatcher sold off (and sold out) Britain's industrial heartlands and services is quite the take from tonight.

#bbcqt Are these audiences looking for this???
They want the panacea, they're being sold a dead cat. They've been hit by austerity, underfunded services, Brexit, but somehow are surprised that the country's running short.

#bbcqt Tim's talking about settling cars. Then equating it with the rich. And redundantly trotting out the "they'll all leave" shtick.
Tax the buggers when they do. 20-25% exit tax. No freebies.
And no, Reform won't fix it.

The party that sold out the country, gave backhanders to their cronies, failed to pay £4.8m in tax (former minister), gave us austerity, and...and...all the things!!!

#bbcqt Good effort Graham Stuart of the Tories, Brasso Award for calling the current government "the most dishonest government".
Bonus points for going off the rails in no time. Utter dickhead from the party that thoroughly screwed the country long before Starmer got the keys to no.10.
