Trump (and right wingers in Britain & EU) often claim that the USA economy outperforms “sclerotic” Europe. A more comprehensive comparison gives a different perspective about the quality of life in each:

Tim Loughton is saying publicly about Robert Jenrick what lots of his former colleagues are saying privately.
Dealt with Jenrick a lot as Immigration Minister whilst negotiating amendments to Immigration Bill. He invariably had to defer to officials completely out of his depth then flounced off claiming he couldn't get his own way on reducing immigration rather than staying and fighting.

Good news: NHS waiting lists are down by more than 86,000 this month, the largest fall in a month for over 2 years. For too long, patients were promised change in the NHS but saw little of it. My government is turning promises into change people can actually feel.

How ungrateful can you be? The Tories spent several 100s of 1000s of pounds getting Robert Jenrick elected at the 2014 by-election - way over the legal limit, & the Tories later had to pay a hefty fine. Who complained about the Tories' gross over-spending - Nigel Farage.

NEW: For too long, patients were promised change in the NHS but saw little of it. Today, waiting lists are down by more than 312,000 since Labour came into government - with an 86,000 drop in November alone. That's the second biggest drop in 15 years. 🧵
