In my abstinence, I’m assuming #BBCLauraK has Farage, Jenkyns, and Bobby J on this morning.

#BBCLauraK pushes #Tory Holingrake as to whether he would collaborate with #Reform to "get things done" when the ##localelections are finished
He does not say no
She does not ask him about EDI, mass deportation, selling off the NHS records, public hangings, closure of parks and swimming pools, fascist torch light parades, the end of the welfare state, the music of Boyzone to be banned etc etc
Tory Lord Houchan claims on today's #BBCLauraK that #NHS waiting times have come down because the strikes have ended
That is untrue
By and large, the strikes had marginal effect. It was the substantial investment by the current Labour government that reduced the numbers.
Andy Burnham is sitting there like a sack of potatoes, allowing these shibbolleths to fall
Ed Davey on #BBCLauraK
"The Supreme Court actually said a #Trans woman is a woman except for the Equality Act where she isn't."
I can only understand that as one group of marginalised people being diminished in the eyes of the law
And that, for me, is anathema.
End of
Happy #SocialistSunday everyone. Will follow/follow back like-minded people. #bbclaurak #TrevorPhillips #TaxTheRich #WealthTax #Socialism
@HarriettMB @Geri You forgot the free food and TV licences, both permissible under parliamentary expenses rules.
Did right-wing enabler #BBCLauraK ask #Frogface about his extra-parliamentary income?
Overall, he earns many multiples of the PM's salary.
"The whole work from home culture needs to go. .... A lot of people working in these sectors earn more than the Prime Minister"
Said #Frogface about council workers in today's #BBCLauraK
On today's ##BBCLAURAK we hear of revelations that steel workers prevented Chinese management shutting off the furnaces at ##BritishSteel at #Scunthorpe by 'direct intervention"
Gosh!
#Badenoch is crowing the wonderful Tttptpttt deal or whatever it's called. ##BBCLauraK reminds her it will only add 0.8% over 10 years to the economy
She rather naively thinks we can pick up a trade deal that we started in 2020 and carry on where we left off
She is seriously out of her depth
Darren Jones on #BBCLauraK says it was "unacceptable" that the two Labour MP were denied entry to #Israel
#Badenoch on the same programme says "they were breaking the law"
Today, #BBCLauraK asked Darren Jones if globalisation and, therefore, the time of cheap goods was over
He replied, "[Yes] and that is why we are investing in our domestic industries."
I do not recall many factories round my way churning out TVs, laptops, and mobiles
What do we make in the UK? Scotch Whisky and Eccles Cakes
On today's #BBCLauraK, Alex Burghart, the Shadow Duchy of Lancaster, talked about how #Badenoch had changed the #Conservative Party after saying the country needed a '#Rwanda' policy to stop immigration
Ahem
#BBCLauraK to #JustinWelby...
"Do you forgive John Smyth?''
"Yes," he replies
Happy #SocialistSunday everyone. Will follow back anyone opposed to the current government cutting #DisabilityBenefits as well as continuing Austerity. #bbclaurak #TrevorPhillips #DisabilityRights #WelfareNotWarfare #WealthTax #TaxTheRich #AusterityKills
'There has been no explanation as to how #Pip has been empowering support for those people with disabilities," said Robert Buckland on today's #BBCLauraK
Well, it has brought me a wheelchair, warm clothing, and fuel payment
Laura Trott on #BBCLauraK says, "Banning phones in schools is a safeguarding matter."
How?
“And something that distinguishes the Mr Windlings of the universe is the term 'in my humble opinion', which they think adds weight to their statements rather than indicating, in reality, 'these are the mean little views of someone with the social grace of duckweed'.”

#bbclaurak asked today if it is "fair" that sick people get an extra £400 a month in benefits.
Laura Kuenssberg is paid £27,500 a month.
"I just want to read you [#ChrisPhilp] what the most senior judge in England and Wales said: Lady Chief Justice Baronesse Sue Carr said ... it was the duty of politicians to respect the independence of judges," #BBCLauraK
The MP for South Croydon replied "well I think she's wrong," but I guess a 2.2 graduate in Physics knows more about these matters.
#ChrisPhilp says on #BBCLauraK when talking about the ECHR, "What does the right to a family life mean. It means whatever the judge believes it means"
But the same is true for EVERY piece of legislation. Judges interpret the law as best as they understand it
