RT @richards1052: So much for the "religious freedom" Israel touts. It restricts Christian worship on Easter, Muslim worship on Ramadan. But there's one religion which can worship at its sacred site any time and has never been restricted: Jews & the Kotel. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-jerusalem-easter-church-leaders-decry-heavy-handed-restrictions

Yes, and the increase in 2019 to 20... probably the 37 billion for the useless app, and the fraudulent PPE contracts.

This level of turnover is not normal. It's because all the decent people, who understand what is threatening our human rights, are quitting for principled reasons.
As you would, if the body was betraying the very equalities it was supposed to protect.

A real Conservative speaks sense about what's happened to the thing that purports to be a "Conservative" government.
Let's not be too PC to call a spade a spade.

We get a glimpse of what a hopeless and destructive measure of success "growth" is when we discover that warm weather, that reduces consumption of gas and oil, is a Bad Thing. 🙄😩

RT @nigel_corrigan: @CPRECambs @GreatOuse_VT @NationalHways @huntspost It could have been avoided if they had instead upgraded the rail from Felixstowe & Harwich to the Midlands & taken 1,000 lorries a day off the A14. They were told this but the haulage business gives a lot of cash to politicos, guess which party?

@DrFrancesRyan It's cheap and nasty to target those on benefits. They're least likely to vote, and probably aren't funding @UKLabour's election expenses. What we need, to free people from the noose, is an unconditional benefit about which there can be no mistakes.

RT @DrFrancesRyan: Irresponsible from Labour.

It falsely suggests the benefit system is rife with fraud, whilst framing benefit claimants as the reason other ‘deserving’ people aren’t getting the support they need.

If Labour want to talk about benefits, try the fact claimants can’t afford to eat.

RT @DrFrancesRyan: Benefit error that does exist is often innocent mistakes, like working too many hours on sickness benefits or a change in circumstance at home. DWP overpayment notices then force people in poverty to pay it back, often sending them into debt crisis. Labour must know this.

You guys cut our pay by 25%.

Buddy, you have the money. You just choose to keep it for yourselves.

Desperation. Hopefully they will be forced to have it at a time that is the very worst for them because they're pushing it to the very limit. And no they have no idea what would actually win them support, if they think our priorities are these.
