Jeremy Hunt says government will speed up compensation for postmasters. Of course:. ". which is why we whipped a vote against a successful Labour amendment to pay compensation within 3 months.". Utter hypocrisy #PostOfficeScandal #GeneralElectionN0W

@Haggis_UK Potentially wasting police time? On Daly's part anyway. Trying to get your political opponents prosecuted when you're in power is the habitual tool of despots.

Sunak was so incredibly angry about the alleged gambling misconduct that he did, er, absolutely nothing!. #ge24 #bbcqt #leadersdebate #generalelection24.
Sunak takes the gambling Q head on: Says he was “incredibly angry” about gambling allegations.“If anyone broken rules should face full force of law”. Bruce asks if suspend candidates. Sunak says these “serious investigations and right done thoroughly”. Says if anyone is found to.

@GregHands @Conservatives The Minimum Wage was introduced by Labour and vigorously opposed by the Conservatives following our 1997 win. The Conservatives re-badged it. Well, that was clever and innovative of you. Are you seriously asking for plaudits?.

Truly shocking how badly the #NHS has done after 14 years of #Conservative government. #C4News really lays the stats bare. Watch to the end!. There was no #NHSCrisis under Labour and only a Labour government can restore things. Back to square one with Labour? Yes please!.
How has England’s NHS fared under Conservative governments?. @C4Ciaran and @FactCheck have been crunching the numbers.

Car crash interview between #RishiSunak & Nick Robinson on #r4today. Including a false and bizarre claim that #NetZero2030 will cost families £10,000. Studies show #NetZero actually saves families money. Sunak is floundering, wholly out of his depth; a prisoner of the hard right.

@implausibleblog Just checking: do the tories think that by bleating "Labour has no plan" that'll make it true - even when we clearly do have a plan?. How are they going to maintain this absurd line once our manifesto (which is, er, a plan) is published?.

There's something unnerving and discomforting for a Prime Minister who, with his wife, has some £700m of assets, telling people that being sick is their fault. And asking us to ignore the various #TorySleaze scandals. When is #RishiSunak going to give us a #GeneralElectionN0W?.
SUNAK: "I will never dismiss or downplay the illnesses people have.". SUNAK (53 seconds later): Rising numbers with depression and anxiety are down to an "over-medicalising everyday challenges". 🤔~AA

@PippaCrerar @SkyNews This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Dowden is inviting people not to apply even basic logic to decision making. It's plain to see that islamophobia in the #Conservatives is OK but only if it suits Rishi Sunak politically. #TrevorPhilips.

@hmtreasury @10DowningStreet Almost certainly zero because of frozen tax thresholds dragging earners into higher tax rates. Community Note is required on this misleading post. HM Treasury should not be spewing Tory propaganda, especially when it’s highly misleading as it invariably is. #ToryLies.

Looks like Wes was right on #BBCBreakfast. On every tax cut that Conservatives wistfully promise, the media must ask "what are you cutting to fund that?". The Tories won't answer, because they won't admit that it's a public service or benefit cut. #GeneralElection #ToryManifesto.

@Conservatives Asking for the third time:. Is your position that people accused of offences shouldn't get legal advice? Or just people you don't like? . If yes, you've no idea how justice works. If it isn't your position, then your tweet, and Sunak's jibe at #PMQs makes no sense.

@Anniepop2027 @Thehuck_59 The supposed reason for opposing Labour’s amendment was that the enquiry hadn't finished. But that made zero sense because an interim report was issued so compensation could be expedited. Now it's on ITV, suddenly Jeremy Hunt and #RishiSunak are interested. #PostOfficeScandal.

Pitiful performance from Oliver Dowden at #PMQs today. It's not that surprising tories are unbothered by losing £21bn of our money when they wasted so much on unusable PPE supplied by chums. Labour support the covid enquiry. Tories want to obstruct and delay it. #ToriesOut.
Disgraceful refusal from the Deputy PM to recognise his Government lost huge sums of taxpayers' money. Tory Ministers have overseen the loss of £21bn of taxpayers' money in 2 years - with Government fraud increasing four fold. The Tories can't be trusted with your money. #PMQs.

To put it mildly, this doesn't reflect well on Rishi Sunak. How is he unaware that it is NOT appropriate to bet on the #Rwanda policy which, whether you agree with it or not, affects real people's lives. And how detached from voters' lives that he can casually bet £1,000? Ugh.
Rishi Sunak accepts Peirs Morgan's £1,000 bet that he'll get asylum seekers to Rwanda before the next election. Grotesque

It's all very well cheerfully saying the tories are doomed. That's only the case if voters actually vote against them. Imagine waking up on 5 July to another 5 years of chaos and crazy hard right policies. #VoteLabour at #ge24 to ensure that doesn't happen. #GeneralElection24.
You could make this the last full week of the Tories. Vote for change with Labour next Thursday.

@Conservatives Is this serious? . We could do a whole thread of tory flips. Politicians change their positions from time to time. Deal with it. And if you can't deal with it, best look at your own house at the same time. Given that your record in that regard is much worse.

Get the feeling that the Conservative Party regrets starting the smears? . Why won't James Daly (here with Chris Bryant but also elsewhere) say what he has accused Angela Rayner of?. Could it be that he fears slandering her? But that would only be a problem if. it wasn't true?.
"Why won't you say?" asks Sky's @BethRigby. Conservative James Daly MP refuses to answer multiple times when asked what he thinks Angela Rayner has done wrong, despite being the person who contacted the police about her. 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

On Loose Women, Rishi Sunak said that "We all went through a tough time" (meaning financially). Not true in his case. The Sunak family had £700m to draw on.
I've never seen a politician with less ability to project empathy than Sunak. It's mesmeric. Even May was better.

#Ridge: How much has tax gone up, under the Tories, since 2019? . Bim Afolami(Tory): It's difficult to calculate. SR: It's gone by £13,000 per household. £2,000 sounds like a bit of a bargain. #politicshub

@BestForBritain @RhonddaBryant Robert Jenrick thinks he's Winston Churchill. He really isn't.
A polite reminder that Robert Jenrick attempted as a minister to deprive a hard-up inner city local authority of £millions in favour of a billionaire developer. He was later forced to admit that *had the appearance of* bias to the High Court. I guess that's all you need to know.
