Not mine. Try not to lump us all into the same category. Thanks.

Sorry - retract all replace with many

Twitter is people with the same views following each other, no comparison to the daily barrage of lies and personal attacks on the Labour leader from the msm. Banner headlines every day. The questions about Cummings activities in Russia would never have come to light if it weren’t for whistleblowers, even though these rumours have been known for ages. Nothing from the msm, just image if these rumours concerned corbyn’s staff, we would never hear the end of it.

Problem with whistleblowers is that you never know if they are genuine or axe grinders

Real, actual provable story. Notice the difference?

Surprise surprise.


First the economic assessment report being blocked, now this. Clearly the government have something to hide which they don’t want the electorate to know about before casting their votes. Time for a public spirited civil servant to leak both reports, leaving them in a bin in St James’ Park would do.

Decent write up on who’s after what and why. Some of the percentages are tiny and there’s a lot more than i thought.

Saw this in the Standard (not biased at all).

So we have a new speaker, who at first glance, seem to have humility

That will be a welcome change

Thanks. Name didn’t ring any bells, but his picture looks familiar, so i’ve obviously seen him before, although no Idea why.

Libs have just rolled out their version of the Brexit bus

An extra ÂŁ200m per wk on public service just by cancelling Brexit

Sorry what?

What a piece of work Jacob Rees Mogg is. He has blamed the victims of the Grenfell fire for lacking common sense in not ignoring the advice they were given to stay put. Appalling. People died on the stairwells trying to escape, choking to death. Absolutely typical of the Tory mindset, blame the victims. Rees Mogg is like every Victorian factory or sweatshop owner, they simply don’t care if things like Grenfell happen. Johnson even laughed and said,“get stuffed”, when London’s fire chief told him his cutbacks would cost lives. Really funny isn’t it Boris?
Just imagine being trapped on a high floor of a tower block, flames spreading up the building, you phone the fire brigade, scared for your life, in a panic thinking you are going to die, and are told to stay put. Mogg thinks it is “common sense” to ignore the advice of the rescue services and go out into a dark smoke filled stairwell. He probably wonders why Nanny or the kitchen staff didn’t deal with the fire. What a disgusting apology for a human being he is.
In the year before Grenfell the Tory housing minister received seven letters from the group of MPs responsible for scrutinizing fire safety rules in tower blocks, the last letter arriving just 26 days before the fire. Each letter advised instituting fire-safety measures that would have prevented the Grenfell disaster. The minister ignored all of them. That minister was Gavin Barwell, who was subsequently appointed by Theresa May as her chief advisor in Downing Street. That this was not seen as remotely insensitive or controversial tells you all you need to know about the sincerity of the Tory and MSM reaction to the Grenfell disaster. Theresa May subsequently awarded Barwell a life peerage. It is hard to escape the conclusion that the only regrets the Tories have about Grenfell is that more Labour voters didn’t perish.
And yet, despite all of this, in the election, ordinary, on the surface sensible and decent people will cast their votes for these people. Never mind the cover ups like the current burying of the report into Russia’s interference in elections, all of the bare faced lies and promises about building new hospitals, thousands more police etc, despite being responsible for running them down for the past ten years. Why on earth do ordinary decent people swallow it? It beats me.
“The forest was shrinking, but The Trees kept voting for the Axe, for the Axe was clever and convinced the Trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them”. ----. Turkish proverb.

Best for Britain giving tactical voting advice to influence the outcome of an election

George Soros - a US citizen- is the single biggest funder of that organisation

Hence the foreign interference

I didn’t register that this article is related to Best for Britain. Then again I had to look them up as they have completely passed me by.
But if we are talking about undue influence we could talk about the Evening Standard owned by a Russian oligarch. Or some of the other papers owned by ancient Aussies etc.
