“Brexit” did not save lives through the covid vaccine roll out . Let’s get this totally clear- we could develop and buy the vaccine within the EU.
"He wants the party to come to him and say 'Boris, we’re terribly sorry, please come and stand for the leadership.'”
The News Agents on Boris being "vintage himself" on @LBC with Nick Ferrari, where he claimed Brexit saved lives.

Nigel Farage received 12% of TV/press coverage in the election. @TheGreenParty (with 4 seats to Reform’s 5) didn’t even make top 20. Great research from @lboroCRCC shows Greens & smaller parties were especially marginalised by a press mesmerised by Farage’s anti-migrant noise

“Our whole campaign was designed to lose so we could put Labour back in and they could carry the can for the collapse of the British economy”
The New Statesman is still relatable because it expertly illustrated a broken political system in which history constantly repeats itself

It was inevitable, but it's also, it has to be said, very, very well done. First Downfall video of the campaign. vimeo.com/950085130 #BGE2024

I’ll come back and say this every day if I have to. Human rights are universal - it’s not for this government to pick and choose who they should and should not apply to. The #RwandaBill not only strips away basic human rights away from people seeking safety in this country, it actually puts all our rights at risk - yours and mine, because if this Government can just snatch away basic human rights from any section of society when it pleases then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. When did that become “the will of the people”?
