Mark Francois talks about Neville Chamberlain "denuding the British forces of funding until it was too late."
This is wrong. Even while Chamberlain was signing the Munich Agreement in 1938, he was agreeing to a huge increase in spending to increase Britain’s armament in preparation for war.
#MarkGinoFrancois, #MP
I find it deeply troubling that a #UK politicians who used to be Minister of State for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans and then Minister of State for the #ArmedForces doesn't know these essential fact.
What he has been (wrongly) saying about deluding the #pre-WWII #British#military is, in contrast, very true...
#ScottBenton is, of course, notable for retweeting the official #GOP account when it gloated over the end of #RoeVsWade. He quickly undid this. I wonder why?
Anyway, said unsavoury character may have brought about another #ByElection. Perhaps this time, #Blackpool voters won't elect a #Tory just to spite themselves and the universe in general.
Here's a member of the Mother of Parliaments, Jonathan #Gullis, #MP for #StokeOnTrent, leaping to the defence of Donald Trump, whom we all saw on TV inciting a riot in the US equivalent of Westminster/...

v Reuters - quotes from the speech of Israel PM Netanyahu :
ONGOING GROUND OPERATION IN #GAZA IS THE SECOND STAGE OF THE #WAR
WE WILL EXERT EVERY EFFORT TO RETURN #HOSTAGES
THOSE ACCUSING US OF WAR CRIMES ARE HYPOCRITS
THE WAR INSIDE THE GAZA STRIP WILL BE DIFFICULT AND LONG
CAN'T SAY #IRAN WAS INVOLVED IN PLANNING OF OCT. 7 ATTACK BUT THEY FUND #HAMAS
So Justin #Trudeau, our "#unifying" prime minister who wants to "build #bridges, not sow #division", announced the suspension of the much-hated and regressive #carbon#tax on #heating#oil - but only in the Maritime provinces, because heating your #house shouldn't be expensive, and the #Maritimes are mostly oil-heated.
The west, which is mostly natural #gas-heated, or #propane-heated, which are also carbon taxed?
I'm sure that the fact that the Maritimes fairly reliably #elects mostly #Liberal#members of #parliament, and the west has been rather pissed at the disdain Ottawa holds for us "flyover country" folks and so haven't sent many Liberal members to Ottawa, has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Did you know that only a single #British#MP was ever executed for a non-political crime?
MPs have been serving the English parliament since 1593, & a good number died by execution.
But only one, MP for #Dorset in 1614, Mervyn Tuchet, 2nd Earl of Castlehaven (as Mervyn Audley) died not because of treason or for being a Royalist... but for raping his wife & "sodomy".
SNP MP Lisa Cameron defects to Tory party over ‘toxic and bullying’ treatment
She has been called on by #SNP to resign her seat to trigger a by-election.
“Her constituents elected an SNP MP, not a #Tory, and they deserve to have the democratic opportunity to elect a hardworking SNP #MP who will put the interests of #Scotland first.
*Never forget this CEO wanker worked for #Exxon prior & has a long history of promoting rampant #ecocide & is OK continuing to carry out more #CrimesAgainstHumanity 🤑
#Tory#MP#NadineDorries still playing silly buggers but could her time be limited on the BS she's pulling? Yet another one failing to do her elected role on behalf of her constituents.
"I people generally, but women in particular, are so tired of #Poilievre's vitriol and the anger. They are not looking for someone to hype up rhetoric and point out all that is wrong. They want solutions.”
@gemelliz we need to keep publishing the list of #conservative#mp that voted their support for the #convoy, we can’t let #canadians forget these #MP supported the overthrow of the government they were elected to.
16 MPs claiming cash to rent London homes - while letting out their own - Mirror Online
‘Tory Trade Secretary Liam Fox is one of 16 MPs who have claimed cash for rent in the capital while letting out properties they already own in the city’
@Ulzana
You are very probably entirely right but...
... everyone said they could afford to vote yes to Brexit as a protest against the conservatives.
Deliberate gaming of the polls system by rightwingers has allowed the #Conservatives to loot the UK like never before under cover of that single Brexit vote.
It can be dangerous to protest vote, sometimes the polls are manipulated.
There is 1 constituency out of 650 that you can vote green and get a #Green#MP btw in the #UK.
