Oh look another way motorists will be able to blame cyclists when they hit them. They did not have C-V2X so how was I supposed to know to look up from my phone.

Labour need to stop this cruelty when they get power. There is no need to pander to the tories desire for cruelty.

FFS. It's her and the rest of her #BREXIT promotors who caused the problems at the border.

She is directly responsible.

It was her stupidity. Why would any party welcome her unless it was to reduce the average IQ of the party?

Sunak is delusional, which as a supporter of #BREXIT, is no surprise.

He's a fool who should not be in charge of a toilet let alone a country.

I predict that unless more than 20% of tory candidates spontaneously combust during the counts, the tories will claim the election results were not as bad as expected.

Overheard from a passer-by just now:

“There’s one in Dornoch. There was one in Tain, but it got vandalised.”

You can now join me in wondering what they were talking about.

A shout out to all the Non Tory voters who will not be voting tactically to beat a tory.

We really need to end #FPTP so that we don't get tories by divide and rule.

At some point, Labour will have to face reality over #BREXIT. The economy is undermined every day by not being in the EU.

There's only one solution, and that is rejoining.

How can Labour fix Britain’s ‘economic failure’ without rejoining the EU?

Thought for the day: should we think of #capitalism as a pandemic disease? What feature, if any, distinguishes it from a pandemic disease?

I really long for a reason to vote #Labour that is not just to get rid of the tories.

On the EU, nope
On electoral reform, nope
On the economy... see the EU policy

Where are their policies that will make me, a Labour member, want to support them?

“Among the ideas that advisers have presented to #Trump is a cut to the federal payroll tax, said one of those people, a move that could 👉🏼lower the flow of money into the Social Security and Medicare trust funds and open Trump to criticism from Democrats that he is torpedoing the safety net for elderly Americans.👈🏼 Trump has signaled he is open to the idea.”

Press:

Prosecutor: Michael Cohen accepted responsibility. So we should be allowed to bring that out on direct and that he lied on Defendant's behest. That changed, when Michael Cohen decided to accept responsibility. So evidence about the plea is essential

Why is this country such a joke?

I call being raped by priests and then having the Church cover it up more than a threat to Human dignity.

The church is a moral cesspit that should not exist and is in absolutely no position to pontificate on morality.

Gove supported #BREXIT, an extremist view, that was supported by Putin to undermine Western democracy. He is in no position to lecture on extremism when he is one of Putin's useful idiots.

When your main political goal, #BREXIT, is extremist and to get it through you lied and pandered to extremists it's a bit rich then claiming extremism is a problem you can tackle.

You caused it. You opened the box.
