RT @DoverDealLibDem: Shocked to learn that over £18.3m has been squandered on scrapped Dover Inland Border Facility, incl £6.4m on preparatory works by HMRC & £11.9m by DfT towards site readiness. Gov will not divulge how much the land cost despite it being purchased with taxpayers’ money!

@adamboultonTABB You have to go back to 1970-74 (Heath) for a PM in came in on a GE and went out on a GE.

@thisworldisbig @Helen_Whately She's hoping to be Chancellor.

The Chancellor @RishiSunak has found a shred of honour to resign at this late stage. Will his Treasury Minister @Helen_Whately follow or is it too much to expect?

RT @BehavinAint: A lot of people seem to be really struggling to grasp exactly what the Tories have become.
It's no mystery to me- I've seen them up close, at work and play, and I think you guys need to understand what we're dealing with.

@AnnekaSinclair A very decent judge called Nic Madge took all those photos I believe. They've decorated Harrow for a long time.

RT @favershamfocus: Conservative councillors are actually trained by their own side to "disrupt meetings", make baseless accusations of bias and "take credit" for other parties policies.
Seen some of this in Kent. They're in it for themselves. Like the crook in Number 10.

@Amy_Hupe I was once told "insufficient evidence of self confidence."
I had, at the time, 17y experience as a barrister, prosecuted or defended 100s of jury trials, and am a former MEP.
This was, shall we say, surprising feedback.

@themetskipper @kingsbury_ollie Particularly with white shirts. A blue or striped shirt w/o tie is the non-aggravated form of this offence.

If you'd like Raab to lose his seat at the next General Election, I would suggest following @monicabeharding
She was close last time and will take his seat this time. Make a donation to help her and annoy Raab.

If you're so upset at "inflationary pay rises" why are you raising MPs' pay by over £2,000 per year?
RT @SimonClarkeMP: This evasion from @UKLabour is ridiculous. We deserve answers. Do they support inflation-busting pay rises? If so, do they accept the inflationary effects? How do they propose to pay for them? And why do they refuse to condemn strikes causing massive disruption to the public?

Although in the interests of balance, I am disappointed that @columbiasport sent me a pair of walking boots with a broken lace but rather than simply sending me a new pair of laces, have required me to return the entire boots and packaging. Environmental policy guys?

@davidallengreen @utsire @AlJazeera C.f Australia or Canada where several Prime Ministers and come in and gone out at General Elections.

@davidallengreen @utsire @AlJazeera And you would have to go back 50 years to 1970/74 for someone (Heath) becoming PM in a GE and ceasing to be PM in another GE. That is extraordinary.
