@PaulEmbery This is why we hold so many of our politicians in such low esteem - the mealy-mouthed circumlocution of a question with an either/or answer that delivers only a word-salad of platitudes. I’d have more respect if she made a choice and defended it even if I disagreed with her.

@PauletteHamilto I’m sure the local police constabulary has data to confirm that there is a direct link between *checks notes* housing for the disabled & anti-social behaviour. You know what’s most sad about this post? I checked your profile because I thought only a #Tory would be proud of this.

@SkySportsNews Wolves had two #FACupReplays over two years. If you cannot accommodate one extra game a season whilst having ZERO European fixtures to play, then there's an argument that your squad management is not fit for purpose.

@RestIsPolitics The current government borrowed money because of a pandemic during which taxpayers subsided employment and businesses for a couple of years & then provided support during an energy crisis instigated by Russia. Reeves is at best disingenuous by equating PFI with Covid spending.

@blairmcdougall @OliverKamm People underestimate the power of saying “Sorry” - it’s disarming and allows catharsis to begin. It’s really only in politics that it seems difficult to offer a sincere apology without attracting never ending denigration.
