Because the minute you’re on and in your seat that’s it. You’ve done your part, responsibility has been handed over and you can relax, read, nap.
Sometimes I worry about my fellow Brits. He’s the Prime Minister of a G7 country, he is able to launch a nuclear strike, he’s working 18 hour days every day. Yet people want him to get a National Express bus between engagements.
Wreath upside down, failing to sing the national anthem. Really don’t know why Stephen Flynn bothers turning up. The SNP, Scotland’s constant embarrassment. I suppose one upside is we are spared Ian Blackford and his strained kilt and waistcoat.

I do it all the time when travelling with someone. Then move over to the middle seat. I’m next to my companion and the middle seater gets the aisle as a bonus. Everyone wins and of course occasionally the original plan works with an empty seat.

@spectator
Oh dear. The response is “we are all Americans” - that’s it. Not some crazy political cult. Quite incredible you could be so wrong about something so elemental.
@wesstreeting
The problem is Wes you were painting people like me with that brush. That’s why you lost so much credibility among open minded people who until that moment thought you were a better class of politician.
But here you are, doubling down on it and just as guilty of polluting the

I don’t know when the civil service started to adopt this patronizing jargon - you’re not “working in partnership”, you’re working under the direction of a minister of the crown. She’s a privy councillor not the department’s stationary supplier.
@PippaCrerar
And you’ve “done it again” - running the same inane article. Most of us are quite happy that the PM, doing the peoples business, is moving around efficiently and securely.
@CharlieBaranski
You clearly never listened to many speeches or debates with Senator McCain. Those are two separate points. No idea what your agenda is in conflating them.

With every interview Truss does she makes it clearer and clearer why she was so unsuited for the role of Prime Minister and that the move against her was essential.
@BarryMcElduff
Neutrality when it suits. Depends on the UK Navy and RAF to defend its shores and protect its subsea infrastructure. We see your hypocrisy. Oh and those counties you mention, fully a part of the UK.
This is why
@Jeremy_Hunt
re-election was not only good for his constituents and for him personally but also for the country - our democracy is strengthened by his contribution.
Following statements made in the House, I have written to the Cabinet Secretary on the concerning contradiction between the Main Estimates put before Parliament last week and the document presented by the Chancellor today.
@MareeToddMSP
You’re the ( checks notes ) “Minister for Mental Wellbeing” and here you are making this about you and not someone who has had the courage to disclose their condition and efforts. Little wonder Scotland is in such a state - the calibre and conduct of Ministers is shocking.
@HannahB4LiviMP
If only you applied a similar amount of scrutiny to the luxury motor home sitting outside the home of the mother of your ex CEO. Meanwhile that carriage is real history - not your Braveheart confected nonsense. I pity your constituents.
@trussliz
Sorry Liz even more questions are being asked as to how you became our leader.
I remember sitting through the last hustings at Wembley and thinking “what a train wreck she is going to be”.
I wasn’t wrong was I ?
In the absence of an election to turf the lot of them out, Scotland could do with Kate Forbes as First Minister. The lights are on and someone is home unlike the incumbent.
#CovidInquiryUK
Well that’s now 54 trips around the sun for me ! 🥳 Not sure how I feel that my birthday is the anniversary of the first UK pandemic lockdown. Anyway 54 is the new 34.
@TomTugendhat
The problem is Tom you helped deliver a Truss premiership. You accelerated that loss of trust. Maybe you could clear things up by explaining why when you dropped out you rallied behind such a flawed person.
This tweet should haunt Wes for the rest of his political life.
Starmer should be questioned and distanced himself from it and today,
Londoners should vote for the candidate they think is best able to rid London of 7 years of torpor without fear of being labeled by the likes
A win for Susan Hall and the Conservatives is a win for racists, white supremacists and Islamophobes the world over.
Susan Hall’s campaign has been fought from the gutter with dangerous and divisive politics.
London, we cannot let her win. Vote Sadiq.
If Conservative members (and MPs !) want to join Reform then that’s fine, if sad.
They should then be subject to a 7 year block on rejoining - we made a huge mistake with UKIP entryism.
As for merging with Reform. No. A toxic entity.
@WOlookingitup
One solemn, one smiling. It’s called a facial expression and it changes. You need a wee lie down and time to reflect on being less vile.
@LesleyRiddoch
So you’re saying that although I was born and educated in Dunfermline and then Aberdeen, and didn’t leave Scotland until I was 29 (to work for a Scottish exporter overseas) I am NOT Scottish because I live in London. What nonsense.
In November 1998 I moved into my apartment in Manhattan and took this Polaroid of my view. It was my home for almost the next 10 years - the view changed dramatically but the spirit of New Yorkers 🗽and Americans 🇺🇸 did not.

Whoever you support Adam nails it here. Public service and transparent democracy - we take it for granted, and take a cynical view at every turn and yet here we have it in all its ex-prime ministerial glory on a housing estate in Perthshire !
Say what you like about Britain and it’s politics .. but there ain’t many western democracies where you’d get a former Prime Minister leaving a lovely little message on your ring doorbell. 💁♀️🇬🇧

You mean “Russophobia” stemming from the fact Russian invaded Ukraine ? You should address this in the House of Lords, that is when you get round to actually speaking in that chamber.
The postman has just been and delivered my first Maltese passport. A very exciting moment and tribute to my grandfather who joined the British Royal Navy in Valetta in 1939 to ensure all of our futures.

@staylorish
One could argue that a significant reason for the Scottish Parliament being so feeble with scrutiny is a weak and compliant Presiding Officer.
One of the things I love about politics, anywhere and anytime is how things can “turn on a dime” - here Harris gives not only the speech she needed to give at this time but the speech her detractors thought she was incapable of.
@christopherhope
When it’s a random stream of consciousness that you know the media (especially client journalists like you) will never hold them to account on it’s very easy to fill time.
