The Rwanda plan has revealed a lot of belittling and racist attitudes in people who think of themselves as progressives. Rwanda is a safe and prosperous country, guys. Try to get over your stereotypes about Africa.

Stephen Farry from the Alliance Party just told @BBCr4today that WHATEVER the government did on the Protocol would be bad for Northern Ireland. Seriously? Anything at all? Even easing the more obviously absurd restrictions on trade between NI and GB? #MotivatedReasoning

RT @BrooksNewmark: In Vinnytsya busing women + children to safety from war zone so their men can focus on fighting the Russian invaders and not worry about their wives and children. So far have bused over 7,500 women and children to safety from #Ukraine. #refugees #refugeecrisis #refugeechildren 🇺🇦

There is an odd media convention whereby any backbencher who criticises his party leader immediately becomes a “senior Conservative”.

RT @BorisJohnson: It’s been a real pleasure to be in Gujarat today to see the fruits of the incredible partnership between the UK and our friends in India.
Today we have confirmed more than £1 billion in new investments between our two great countries, creating almost 11,000 new jobs in the UK.

RT @PennyMordaunt: Glad to meet with Dmytro Los from the Ukrainian Business and Trade Association. We must ensure Ukrainian business and producers can continue to operate and trade. We will be doing more to ensure this happens. Thanks to @DanielJHannan for helping facilitate. @tradegovuk

If you don’t like Boris, fine. You’ll get the chance to vote for someone else at the next election. But that decision should be for the country as a whole, not for a cadre of resentful Europhiles.

RT @Mike_Fabricant: #Boris is to have a street named after him in #Ukraine in a tribute to Britain’s contribution to the war effort. The council of Fontanka, near Odesa, said: “The Prime Minister of the #UK is one of the most principled opponents of the Russian invasion.” 🇬🇧🇺🇦

This is no longer surprising, but it is still appalling. We have a Home Office machine that is openly working to thwart the elected government. https://order-order.com/2022/04/20/exclusive-home-office-civil-service-enemies-within-propose-strikes-in-rwandan-rebellion/

You cannot legislate for good manners.

@timmyvoe I defended Stephen Kinnock at the time, as I did everyone accused of lockdown breaches.

For what it's worth, I thought the restrictions wrong, and campaigned against them at the time. But Starmer did not. He constantly demanded tighter curbs. He opposed every loosening. For him now to complain of their effects in order to score points is contemptible. (4/4) [ends]

The real comparison is with what other key workers did while legitimately at their places of work.
Did they occasionally break for coffee? Yes.
Did they sometimes have a drink in the office? Yes.
Were they fined? Of course not: that would have been absurd. (3/4)

The lockdowns forced friends and families apart. There were heart-breaking cases of people separated from sick or dying relatives. Although those rules had been relaxed by 19 July 2020, there is no suggestion that the PM ever broke them. (2/4)

There is something fundamentally dishonest about comparing tragic cases of people separated by the Covid rules and a gathering of work colleagues in their office. Starmer, who is a lawyer, knows perfectly well what the difference is, but is choosing to go low. (1/4)

RT @andersostlund: It's hard to underestimate the size of the scandal that is ongoing in Germany now with regards to the government's Russia policy. Calling it the scandal of a century is not an overstatement, and it will haunt official Germany for a long time to come.
