There have been so many days when logging onto Twitter is like attending a medieval witch burning. Today is one of those days.

If you were thinking of getting Nigel the My First TV News Studio Playset for Christmas, don’t bother. He’s only gone and bought it himself. https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/1331197371284414465
We have a crisis of leadership in this country.
@carolecadwalla @julieposetti Perhaps people who value democracy, free expression and don't want to live in an oligarchy should ask what:
"lippy in Russia"
refers to here?

Heading off on holiday to my living room and away from Twitter for a couple of weeks.
Stay safe, stay healthy, play nice and never trust a Tory x
Patel:
“I bullied civil servants. I’m the worst”
Jenrick:
“No, I saved a Tory donor £40m on planning”
Hancock:
“No, I siphoned billions to pals for PPE etc”
Williamson:
“Actually, I removed 65 legal protections from kids in care during a pandemic” https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/24/gavin-williamson-unlawfully-removed-child-safeguards-in-pandemic-court-rules?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Funny how so many of the MPs keen on a cost-benefit analysis of further Covid restrictions are also really keen on no cost-benefit analysis of Brexit.
"Why do people keep working when ill?" says man whose party pays £13 a day in sick pay and allows zero hours contracts where people get nothing when ill.

2016:
"Sunlit uplands"
"I see no downsides to Brexit, only a considerable upside"
2020:
"It's going to cause more economic devastation than an actual plague"

A nervous wait for people in the North as they wait to see if London will be in Tier 3 thus ensuring the government continues to give everyone financial support.
The Festival of Brexit.
"We don't need to stay in lockdown because the infection rate is falling"
"We don't need the EU because we're the 5th largest economy in the world."
It's the same people who say this crap: People who don't understand the concept of 'cause and effect'.
@skepticCanary @labourlewis Read the article. It specifically says that this is a movement that will work with other progressive movements: Both in AND OUTSIDE of Labour.
THAT is the kind of Labour that can do what needs to be done to rid us of the Tory curse for good.

@Impact_Org_ @pritipatel Labour commits to Proportional Representation.
Agrees electoral pact with Libs and greens.
Lib and Green voters know that a vote for Labour is a vote to make Lib & Green votes actually count at the following election.
Tories never win a majority ever again.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak doesn’t want to appear before the Treasury select committee after the spending review 🤔

Follow me on this...
We're heading for No-Deal because we're not willing to accept EU state aid rules, even though it will damage our economy by 7.6% of GDP.
But to gain a benefit of just 0.07% of GDP we're willing to accept Japan's STRICTER state aid rules.
Logic is dead.
