Boris Grifter Supremo, and how his mates benefit #ToryCorruption
Apparently Boris paid just under 4 million for his latest home in cash. Rolled up to the solicitors with suitcases of cash?!!! Is no journalist looking into this?!
As you will know the #Tories have been forced to effectively (re)nationalise #TranspenineExpress to join the other (now) state run part so the #rail network.
The problem is this piecemeal (re)nationalisation is conceived as a short-term fix, but leaving no long-term vision for a state-led future for the railways... and any solutions that might be imported from the Continent, continue to suffer from the #Tory little englander complaint of 'not invented here'!
Sadly for those working in #universities & hoping the #Tories would (quickly) conclude an agreement on outstanding fees to allow the to rejoin the #Horizon research programme, the 'discount' offered by the EU for the two year delay has been deemed insufficient by UK negotiators, ensuring the lockout from the #European research community continues;
tthe longer the delay (and uncertainty) the less likely bridges can/will be be rebuilt with #EU located research teams!
So he spent £6000 instead of £30 by taking a helicopter instead of the train, but he also generated ~1100 kg of CO2 instead of ~10kg per person for the train. (No idea how many people were in the helicopter)
@helenczerski I grew up in Southampton. Does anyone know which particular chemist allowed this hideous #Tory on their premises? I would like to know so that my friends (and I) can avoid giving them any business.
Co-worker had crown fall out, doesn't have a #dentist anymore, nobody local accepting #NHS patients.
Private sector is cannibalising the public sector and nothing being done about it.
My dentist de-registered me about a year ago, refusing to do anymore NHS work, offering me to sign-up for £19 a month - with two free check-ups included a year!
“Not My King? If you do not wish to live in a country that has a monarchy the solution is not to turn up with your silly boards. The solution is to emigrate.”
This was said today by Lee Anderson, vice chair of the #Tory party.
A senior member of government said those that resent the feudalism of the monarchy are not welcome to live in this country.
Freedom of speech?
Democracy?
The sign I saw within spitting distance of #Norfolk Police HQ is spot on. This is a fascist regime.
Hey guess who just had to remove their mask and risk #covid exposure and significant worsening of existing #disability so that they could #vote under the #Tory government's new voter suppression #photoID rules.
Just had a #Tory knock on my door trying to get my vote
He explained how under Labour unemployment was at its highest. I reminded him of Thatcher
He then suggested the infamous note 'the country was broke' was indicative of how Labour mismanaged the economy. I reminded him how a country cannot run out of money and of Liz Truss's time in government
He ended his conversation by saying I need to read some history books
I called him a patronising tosser & told him to fuck off
As seems usual in our electoral ward, the usual suspects - Labour and Tory - leafleted us some time ago, but were so boringly similar that we just recycled the leaflets. LibDem? Greens? Can't be bothered it seems: no leaflets from either, and I could only find the Green candidate via Google. LibDem? Remarkably difficult to find out anything current. Obviously not a serious contender... they keep talking about voter apathy, but around here, candidate apathy is alive and well. Which is a shame.
Chris Heaton Harris says he represents the #NIpeople, well the majority of people in NI want #Stormont changed. So I suggest the #Tory SoS gets on with changing things.
Two charts for context in the current #workforce crisis in the #NHS - unsurprisingly if you dramatically reduce the real pay of your staff, they look elsewhere for work.
The mechanics of the #Tory defunding of the NHS laid bare.
The wreckers have been at work for some time & repairing the NHS will be a generational task - there will be no quick-fixed for Labour to push through, other than starting by restoring funding levels, of course!
Curious to know whether there have been any other recent examples of #Tory leaflets prepared for the local election on 4th May that suggest you don’t need #VoterID to vote?
They claim incompetence in #Norwich, but I want to check if there is a pattern of behaviour.
