This sums up Twitter/X much of the time. I’m happy to free myself from its grips this weekend - we’re off to see friends. 🙂

Donelan is incredibly lucky there are so many other catastrophes around her in government, because this is a major scandal and if the media had spent another few days pressuring her she would have been forced to pay back the money or resign. Now she should do both.

🚨🚨 Dear Jacob Rees-Mogg this 'unnecessary act of self-harm' is exactly what you as a leading Brexiter propagated for & voted for. These checks is an inescapable implication of the hard advanced & negotiated by you & your chums (Johnson and Frost). Own it up. 👇👇

I've always suspected something like this goes on - it's clear that 'client journalism' is a thing - but it's still mad to see it written down.

TerfedUp Rachel Rooney I really hope so too. This cancel culture has to stop. We are each entitled to our opinions in a democracy, with free speech. Nuanced, respectful conversation HAS to be the way forward.

Prof Sir John Curtice explains why the Brexit voters that The Labour Party has “re-captured” since 2019…

If only the people stacking shelves on £11.44 an hour stacked twice as many shelves for their £11.44 an hour, they'd find it easier to afford their £1500 a month rent.

As a “working class leftie,” I can tell Wes that lining the pockets of private health firms isn’t just ideologically flawed - it’s inefficient too. Many private staff are NHS moonlighters. Some even share facilities. Fund the NHS, not big business. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Mr Tom Harris is completely wrong here. I am ashamed at how our younger generations are being unfairly treated and then, to add insult to injury, insulted by such ignorance.

William Wragg calling for the Speaker to lose his job.

Good job the Speaker didn't expose himself to blackmail and give away his colleagues confidential information, because then he would have been really angry.

Controversial thought: Can we please have more books for kids that don’t normalise or encourage mocking and bullying?
