It is not often I find reason to do a one word tweet. I did this morning:
Twitter seems to like it.
Sometimes less is more.

Excellent!
Agreed!
Ditto
529 MPs voted. What happened to the rest of them? We pay for 650. That’s a lot of abstentions.
Many are ‘paired’ i.e. they are permitted absentees e,g. because they are abroad on parliamentary business or because they are working for the government and are not in parliament
A few are from Sinn Fein
The speakers do not vote
Nor do the tellers
The numbers add up to quote a lot in the end
Yes, I know that, but on such an important matter you would think that there would be more tory votes there.
66 tories had no vote recorded, along with 35 labour.
Independents were in all three groups, for, against and dnv.
If there was no whip on it, tories could have been beaten. Time they stopped pretending they were honourable and stuck to their rules.
I would have prefaced it with the word ‘Nasty’ but yes, most apt.
What a twisted f……..sorry – person Braverman is, and how desperate the 289 MPs are to cling to their gravy train.
My one word today “Sudan”.
I’ve been reading the heartlessness of “British” evacuees from Sudan having to leave legal partners and parents in desperate circumstances, as they don’t have ‘the right documents’.
May God judge your craven methods to retain Power.
Agreed
Spot on. It makes me feel physically sick.
Another example is the exchange yesterday between the very unpleasant Lee Anderson and Mark Rowley. While the Met is absolutely in need of reform and has been failing for a very long time Lee Anderson’s behaviour shown in the TV coverage was appalling.
Agreed on both points
I work a lot with and on behalf of people with disabilities and help promote inclusion and raise awareness of discrimination and marginalisation. This vodeo is one of the best I’ve come across that shows how easy it is to sow the seeds of division. It’s shocking to think that we are still fighting against the seeds that others, who should know better, sow… if you’ve never seen or heard of it before then take an hour out to watch it, you may never judge someone else again based on the colour of their eyes (or skin) or any other trait and think twice about what you see in the media or what members of our government claim……
The day after Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed, Jane Elliott, a teacher in a small, all-white Iowa town, divided her third-grade class into blue-eyed and brown-eyed groups and gave them a daring lesson in discrimination. This is the story of that lesson, its lasting impact on the children, and its enduring power 30 years later.

spot on as usual Richard, well done, keep up the good work.
Fantastic !
I really feel a sense of despair just now. The bad guys are winning on all fronts….
Less is More
How the hell did we end up with these snivelling xenophobes as our ‘leaders’? This law is clearly illegal but still they press on with it, and what does it say about us as a country? IMHO they are no better than the Mafia.
I would say don’t malign the ‘illegitimate’. They are very bad people, yes morally illegitimate. Also insane, as this morning I read:
“An NHS doctor trapped in Sudan after visiting family for Eid has urged the government to fly him back to the UK, saying he feels “betrayed” after being turned away from evacuation flights.
Sudanese-born Dr Abdulrahman Babiker is due back on shift as a registrar at the Manchester Royal Infirmary on Tuesday.
Despite having a UK work permit, he cannot board an evacuation flight as they only accept UK passport holders.”
Despicable
Despicable, yes that’s the word I now use a lot.
some people really are that – despicable and then it appears shameless too.
Like Boris johnson’s long shirt tails
