Twitter is a mess on Israel/Palestine. What Hamas did was utterly horrific. And... successive Israeli Govts have treated Palestinians like vermin under a appallingly cruel apartheid system which has got more and more brutal since 1948. It's not anti-semitic to say that.

What senior Tory MPs are saying: 'A leadership challenge just now is not in the national interest.' What they actually mean: 'It will be a bloody disaster for the Tory Party.'

Harry Dunn's 'non political' parents are leading the charge to unseat Dominic Raab because of his inexplicable refusal to help bring their son's killer to face trial in the UK. If they win, it will be poetic justice, as well as doing us all a favour.

You might need to sit down. This from The Telegraph. Yes, really! "Ministers are deploying their favourite tactic of blaming EU for all problems & suggesting all hostility comes from the EU side, but the issues at play here do result from an agreement that both sides signed."🧐

I want a PM who will appoint Ministers to their posts solely because of their relevant skills & experience. Not to keep them quiet or make HIM look good. I want a Govt who will run the country for the good of the people they are paid to serve.

The breathtaking corruption and cynicism exhibited by Crosby and Johnson is now baked in and we take it for granted. But I think even you may be shocked by this article. Do read it. We are a centimetre away from full blown nepotistic dictatorship. /3

Here's a bit of a mad thought. What if Ministers were appointed to jobs they had a background of expertise in? So a fantastic head teacher who started off teaching class, and has 30 years experience in schools, becomes Minister of Education. Or is that just too radical?
