BREAKING: The U.S. has officially lost control of the Bird Flu, according to Scientific American. A nation that mastered moon landings and microchips, but somehow can’t keep poultry pandemics in check—our priorities are truly fried.

What a tweet. Sums up the complete horror show that is the British political class.

I'm not sure if the UK really needs this platform any more. Like, it feels like the air would be cleaner if we just woke up without it.

@EstherMcVey1 Labour didn’t sell off North Sea oil nor privatise the production and distribution of electricity. I wonder which party did that ?

I’m old enough to remember when Boris Johnson stood on the steps of Downing St and lied about having a social care plan. Then he increased national insurance by 1.25% to pay for it and lied about that too. The Times has forgotten.

For those with short memories, this was the Jay report. It made 20 recommendations to the then Home Secretary Suella Braverman. Nothing was done. Rather than start a new inquiry, shall we actually implement the findings of the last one.

Curse of Private Equity. PE has devoured water companies, transport systems, communications networks, power providers, schools and hospitals through the PFI scheme. Yet govts are handing GP surgeries, dental services and the NHS to it. https://t.co/SzvO4IaNwH

Look who just slid in to our DMs.

Suella Braverman has "seen the wall" on the "land border between Italy and Turkey " Jeez....what's she on? Next geography lesson from the Flat Earth Society? 🙄

@brightside1974 @timspector There is clear evidence of COVID induced T1D. My daughter is amongst them. So, respectfully, I'll discuss the subject, supported by evidence, if it's all the same to you.

So Suella Braverman's husband Rael Braverman (proudly "Anti-Woke" in his bio = attitude of a spoiled little 7 year old🙄) ..has DELETED his tweet saying he's bought SEVERAL Reform memberships! What a delightful couple!!! The far right in all their muddy antics eh?

Question for @NicholasLissack - if your grandparents are freezing and can’t afford to keep the heating on, couldn’t your parents, their children help out, being they are millionaires?

@timspector I like how the writer completely forgets the harm caused by mass covid infection and secondary related illness. The kids aren't off school because of a few months off five years ago. They off because they're ill.

Can't he just cut down on avocado toast? 🤔
