This blithering idiot reached the very top of the civil service system. Basically proof that something has gone terribly wrong.

Isn't it amazing how all the Guido alumni, wherever they have ended up now, push each others stories before they are on anyone's radar?

It's like there's a WhatsApp group or something... 🧐

I mean, I'm no psychiatrist, but I would say someone is orally fixated, and it ain't me.

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Who is Charlotte Owen and why is she a Lord?

We may find out as a Tribunal has ordered all the documentation relating to her being made a Lord to be released to them.

The Conservative MPs, which include the Shadow Business Minister Greg Smith, want basic workers' rights to holiday and annual pay scrapped.

They are also resisting workplace protections against harassment, describing them as an attack on "free speech", that will stop "banter"

It’s probably an urban legend, but some believe that if you say “National Health Service” five times into any BBC camera, Kate Andrews appears in the studio.
"Where will the money come from?" - Kate Andrews keeps asking, in order to press her attack on the NHS funding model.

Well, where will the money come from under ANY other model? Does adding a profit-making insurance layer make healthcare cheaper? No. It just makes it less fair. ~AA

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent.
What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss?
‘Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.
