It's taken the bank closure of a high-profile figure to expose banks' corporate bullying using EDI to impose narrow values on customers - or else. But words from the minister today were not enough. Why was the government so slow to act when issues were raised months ago? https://t.co/ElVXD5xR35

This from @danwootton takes a lot of courage. Regardless of what you think of @GBNEWS, attempts at its destruction, vicious demonisation of its employees & even firms who advertise on it, (often from other journalists), is a disgraceful & intolerant betrayal of media diversity.

Yesterday, I asked a quick question on crippling service charges for leaseholders. Surely the solution should be not more regulation, but more CONTROL for leaseholder home owners to hire and fire managing agents? https://t.co/X5uQu1ddde

Agree with @Danjsalt here. Lots of gleeful snide sneering. I'm no Johnson fan, but I am a supporter of the aspirations of millions who voted for him in 2019. And the populist revolt of 2016 & demand for political realignment, will not be satisfied by technocrats- Sunak or Starmer
RT @Danjsalt: All the people smugly laughing about Johnson miss a few things
1. He will likely be back
2. Brexit is unlikely to be reversed

The government's #StrikesBill means those who legally vote to strike, complying with laws already in existence, can be forced to strike-break. Minister asks us to trust bosses' discretion to be fair/not harsh in how they punish anyone who fails to comply. I won't hold my breath.
