Hey
@McCoys
. Why have I bought a bag of crisps when it only has this many in? I counted 12 crisps in total (including the broken bits). Not very impressed.
Unpopular opinion (probably): I understand that Novak Djokovic is a superlative tennis player, but I just don’t like him. There’s something about him and I can’t warm to him at all. Anyone else feel the same? I’m happy to concede it may be just me!
After watching Grant Schapps on the BBC News this morning, it sounds very much like the Tories are coming for the unions. Workers rights? What workers rights? We really are dangerously close to falling into facism.
Seriously
@BBCNews
? Your leading story is that the king is attending church today? The world is in flames and this is what you think passes for news?

You won’t speak for me. I thought it was hilarious. This British flag and picture of the Queen product placement is embarrassing frankly. What a sad little country we’ve become.
What revolting language from an MP
@JohnnyMercerUK
It’s no wonder people are turning their backs on the Tories. Reminding you Mr Mercer, that you work for us, we pay you. Have some respect for the electorate, or at least pretend to.
@carolvorders
@FredThomasUK
No he’s not. You are both deliberately misleading people. For clicks. Because that makes your shit lonely life feel better.
No-one normal really cares about your view. They think you’re mad. I’m changing veterans lives. What I came into politics to do.
Keep going.
🤮🤮🤮
@gilmount101
No I don’t see it like that. My husband and I are both teachers but this is about the expectation that everyone supports the monarchy. We don’t and I don’t see why we should have to pretend that we do just to ‘fit in’.
Am I the only one on Twitter that no longer cares how many followers they have or if they’re losing followers? I honestly couldn’t give a crap to be honest. You either follow me or you don’t. Simple really.
@LuckyHeronSay
If it doesn’t cause hassle and inconvenience, then what’s the point in striking? As a teacher, I fully support all professions who choose to strike at this time.
Does anyone else now have to pay extra to have their garden waste collected? Our council tax has gone up and now we have to pay an additional £50 per year to have green waste collected.
Update: to ens this thread, have just picked son up. He said he chose not to sing, there were no repurcussions, all is good. Thank you good folk of Twitter for your supportive words!x
Completely unsurprised by the vitriol against teachers on the
@BBCBreakfast
Twitter page this morning after
@AngelaRayner
said they should get the vaccine over half term. We are so disliked by so many.
Horrified he talks about dogma in front of two flags; horrified he implies all those on the left of the party are racists. Well Keir, you got your wish. I walked through your open door I will not vote Labour until you are gone & the party resembles what it was always meant to be.
I’m heartily sick and tired of politics. I’m tired of the Tories being vile; I’m tired of the opposition masquerading as a Labour Party; I’m tired of the corrupt sharing of the trough; I’m tired of the lies. I’m just so tired and disillusioned with it all.
Lord Wolfson, boss of Next and prominent Brexiter, said ‘Britain’s immigration laws are strangling the UK economy, the government needs to allow more foreign workers to plug the gaps in the job market’. Hmmm, I thought closing our borders was a Brexit benefit?
#BrexitShambles
Why are people stupid enough to write stuff like this? Attacked for being a teacher! I’m sick of this. My profession has been demonised for so long by the right and this is the only response they can muster.

Ah ok … I see you’re a teacher … one of those twisted people who brainwash our children to your far left ideology … well you don’t really have any credibility at all do you … 👋🏻
If the Tories had *another* leadership challenge and Braverman won it, do you think the Tories would win the next GE? Objective responses please. I should add, that if this happens, I think it’ll be the end of decency in this country but I still think it’s possible they’d win 😡
@Shivajihimself
As someone who lives in Basildon and now has a Reform MP, I can tell you. Low education outcomes, sense of entitlement, wannabe millionaires who think the world owes them something and racists. That’s just about sums it up.
I’m not any of those things btw.
@thecarolemalone
My dad left school with no qualifications and know has a degree. What’s your point Carole, or are you just hateful for shits and giggles?
@cheesedoff3
@GaryLineker
Presumably Karen, your genuine condolences don’t extend to honouring the family’s wish that no right wing bigotry and racism should be used in the name of their children’s deaths? No. Didn’t think so. They don’t blame immigrants, so sit down. Nobody hurt you.
When we watch the news now and a politician is interviewed, my 7 year old asks: ‘Are they an idiot?’
Currently watching Dominic Raab. ‘Yes son, yes he is.’
@fulhambhoy
Er no, that wasn’t my reason. Feel like you’ve got a bit of a chip on your shoulder about that though? Some people eat meat, some don’t. Each to their own.
❗️YOU WILL REGRET: A vote for Labour will be a regret you live with for a long, long time. You think things are bad now? With Labour in office, trust me, this is nothing…..
As a teacher, I thought long & hard about striking, mainly due to the financial impact (husband & I both teachers) on our family. We will have to do without this month, but it’s worth it.

@Keir_Starmer
Until you support public sector worker strikes and start having a sensible conversation about the realists of Brexit, I can’t vote for you. You have driven people like me, a lifelong Labour voter, away. I’m currently politically homeless.

@trussliz
I live in Basildon, one of the two most deprived areas in Essex. You can bet your life they’ll vote the Tory’s in again. You couldn’t make it up.
Saw 5 mins of the Liz Truss interview with
@ChrisMasonBBC
. Not only does she present as monumentally stupid, she has as much personality as a wet fish and can barely string a coherent sentence together. Would love never to have to see her in politics again.
So, doesn’t the fact that the 3 Israeli hostages who were killed by the IDF waving white flags, just confirm that the IDF murder people who are trying to surrender?
It looks like Tories are turning on Sunak. Do you think he’s resigned or call an early election to spite them? After all, when he’s finished decimating this country he’ll move to the US with his billions of pounds, so why would he care?
@Hazzreid
As a teacher, no, technically there isn’t. However, I firmly believe that no religion or religious practices should be brought into schools. It’s bad enough that we have faith schools but they, at least, cater for it.
Having massive problems sleeping atm. Nytol doesn’t work, already using lavender oil, relaxing music and breathing exercises. Any advice? I’m exhausted.
@GMB
I’ll be doing anything that doesn’t involve celebrating a billionaire woman who has access to the best healthcare in the world andhas, apparently amazingly, made it to the age of 96.
Suella Braverman - These are hate marches.
Ali Fortescue - Do you think everyone on these marches are hateful?
Suella Braverman - Yes

How about all those who voted for Brexit and actively destroyed our country leave? I’d say they’re less patriotic because they made a decision that went against the best outcomes for the UK.
@Hawkesbay69
I’m straight, so is my husband. We love the
@BasildonPride
events and we take our son every year. It’s fun, lots of games and stalls and places to dance. You’re missing out, not the LGBTQ+ community.
@darrengrimes_
And yet the evidence would suggest that people like what’s been done to it. So actually, what’s ‘bizarre’ is that you don’t have the wit to see it.
@Haggis_UK
I watched this and wanted to throw things at the TV. One of the reasons we’re in this mess is because the Tory’s have tried to make public services become ‘profitable’. That is NOT their function!
Don’t get me wrong, I hate the lying, entitled gobshite that is
