54 years ago an 8 yr old daughter of a barrister threw a strop. She refused to walk further on a trek around Tarr Steps. She wanted a pony. Her father, who had the most amazing brain & imagination - who’d battled this order for a long time - stopped, pulled a 3d piece out of
ANALYSIS: Mood on Tory benches dire & could get worse still. Pincher is now under investigation by the parly complaints watchdog, & reports an accuser could complain to police…PM could end up find facing another by-election precipitated by Tory sleaze https://news.sky.com/story/boris-johnson-looks-increasingly-isolated-over-chris-pincher-saga-and-it-could-get-worse-still-12645917
I must bring it to your attention that a brutal crime against maths has been committed.
Since I was asked, personal thoughts on Starmer speech:
-Veterinary agreement can help on margin, but depends on type. NZ or Canadian won't do much. Swiss might, but requires full alignment on agri
-Mutual recognition of conformity assessments tried before & rejected by EU (1/2) https://twitter.com/RobBurl/status/1543999103457234944

@BylineTimes did some Brexit polling with @Omnisis and the results are *fascinating* 👇🏻👇🏻

It seems like only yesterday he knew nothing about the allegations. https://twitter.com/johnestevens/status/1543988887919411200
Boris Johnson's spokesman says he had to "balance" Chris Pincher's "skills" and the "allegations" against him when he was appointed as deputy chief whip
It is very odd that to have the shadow Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy explaining Labour policy and @RachelSJohnson explaining Government policy.
Do you support deporting migrants to Rwanda?

UK cases reach 309,000 cases per day affecting currently over 1 in 20 people as this fifth wave of omicron BA5 shows no signs of slowing and hospitals filling up steadily. Still no signs of advice for the public - as U.K. supposedly the first to beat Covid @Join_ZOE

Without brexit Johnson wouldn't be PM.
They lied about NI border
Red tape
Sunlit uplands
Global Britain trade deals
Which will damage UK businesses further
House of Lords has been filled with dishonest Johnson crony's & family friends.
Oh my god!
Stop all the fucking clocks!
Drum roll….
My father in law - arch Brexiter, Spectator reader & right wing stalwart has said the following…today
‘I shouldn’t have voted to Leave’
‘It’s a terrible mess this Brexit’
‘Boris has lost the plot’
Massive tide turn!
Brexit has forced creative touring professionals to be limited to 90 days in 180 for access to the Schengen area. Many off us work almost exclusively within the EU and are now losing work and taxable income because of these restrictions on our time allowed. It’s not possible
@JMPSimor Even being purely pragmatic, the benefits of having fully grown, mostly educated (some highly qualified), fit and willing people wanting to make a life for themselves here, to work and pay taxes should be obvious to all !! What is the problem ??🤔
This is really strange. People are dying because of war & famine. The world is overpopulated. And still we refuse people sanctuary; young people able and willing to work - people we need. Why? Because of fear? Inadequacy? Lack of imagination, creativity, energy? What is it?
The UK must accept that endless immigration is not a long-term solution to Britain’s plummeting population. It’s time to ‘grow your own’.
Brilliant piece in today’s Sunday Times by Paul Morland.

When the Tories do a better job of selling Starmer to the electorate than he does himself.
❌ Keir Starmer voted to block Brexit 48 times.
✅ Conservatives got Brexit done and we're seizing the opportunities

Intrusive Twitter advertising has hugely increased since Musk’s bid, I’ve noticed. It used to be that if you dismissed ads they wouldn’t return for a while. Now it’s every 5th tweet and they’re back two days later; also inserted in reply threads. Give us ad-free subscription FGS.
V important piece by @johnharris1969 - “9 out of 10 appeals are decided in favour of families and against councils” - but at what cost? Appeals are eye-wateringly expensive & only for families with deep pockets. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/03/government-children-special-needs-ministers-parents?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
This is a terrible blow for UK research. Precisely the opposite of what you were promised in 2016. Precisely the opposite. #BrexitShambles https://twitter.com/williamnhutton/status/1543231535331016704
On Thursday the European Research Council terminated 115 grants offered to UK based researchers as UK breaks international law over NI. Science super-power? Forget it. UK science minister in dispute with Treasury over post-Brexit funding via @FT

Can you imagine what this disgusting individual would be like if he had the kind of autocratic power he so obviously craves? He'd be worse than Idi Amin.
