I don’t question that Alison Rose did something wrong. I question why the PM got involved. Because we own 39% of NatWest? We own 100% of the Post Office. Has the PM told the CEO to pay back bonuses based on false accounts? Or asked him to resign? No. Spot the difference?

A thought... UK banks deliberately, systemically, missold, by script, over £40bn of PPI, ripping money out of the hands of the public including many vulnerable people - no bank CEO resigned.

The next time someone talks about the UK's 'liberal media establishment' remind them of the time that almost every news organisation in the country spent an entire month talking about little else but Nigel Farage being asked to switch his bank account.

"Phew! That's a nasty leak. Thank goodness it's not at our end of the boat". An image that's as powerful in the age of the climate crisis as it was in the Great Depression. Then, as now, "it's not our problem" was a spectacular misjudgement. Thanks to @DwTenterden for posting

Put ULEZ aside. The big news is that tactical voting is here to stay. The British now get in a first past the post voting system best to exercise your second preference and win to get the Tory out than vote a purposeless first preference. The Tories have lost the next election.
In case you missed it ... This is what leading Brexiter @DanielJHannan told us our lives would look like if we left the EU. Someone should give him a prize for getting every single prediction wrong! 🤣 #BrexitHasFailed
Those damned climate protestors walking slowly, causing havoc and delays in Rhodes this afternoon. Oh, wait- sorry it’s the climate causing the havoc. Mass holiday evacuations have now begun. Perhaps we should build more wind farms or something. x.com/hughesy_1985/s…

@edfoster Oooo, now you're talking! Breakfast wins!
A university drop-out problem? Hmmm. Might it be: Covid lock-downs blighting education: a cost of living crisis; unprecedented industrial action on campus; inflation dramatically reducing the unit of funding? No. It’s that we were not tough enough in dishing out A-level grades.
Unfuckingbelievable - as if Cancer wasn't enough have just been stung on the lip by a fucking wasp!!!! #curseditellyou

Victims of Post Office scandal. Rishi Sunak: wait for due process Victims of infected blood scandal. RS: wait for due process Tory PMs and MPs misbehaviour RS: wait for due process Nigel Farage’s bank account Rishi Sunak: lynch mob now!
Once again @TheNewsAgents and @maitlis absolutely nailing it.
“The power of the populist is, somehow, to turn utter entitlement into victimhood.” @maitlis on Nigel Farage using his Coutts bank account closure to provoke a culture war. Coming to @GlobalPlayer
I don’t question that Alison Rose did something wrong. I question why the PM got involved. Because we own 39% of NatWest? We own 100% of the Post Office. Has the PM told the CEO to pay back bonuses based on false accounts? Or asked him to resign? No. Spot the difference?
The Post Office said it didn't know that there was false information in its accounts. False information that led to a bonus payment of £170k (on top of a £400k salary) for the CEO alone. Money needed, we were told, to motivate staff engagement with the Horizon scandal inquiry.
A thought... UK banks deliberately, systemically, missold, by script, over £40bn of PPI, ripping money out of the hands of the public including many vulnerable people - no bank CEO resigned.

At a time when medical misinformation has never been more problematic, destroying one of the UK's great bastions of evidence-based medicine is just inexplicable - why @RishiSunak @SteveBarclay @GeorgeFreemanMP???
The next time someone talks about the UK's 'liberal media establishment' remind them of the time that almost every news organisation in the country spent an entire month talking about little else but Nigel Farage being asked to switch his bank account.
I recall Paddy Ashdown once describing John Major as a decent man at the head of a truly appalling party. You could say the same thing about Rishi Sunak, apart from the first bit.
This is what we’re up against. The Labour Party, a subset of lawyers, criminal gangs - they're all on the same side, propping up a system of exploitation that profits from getting people to the UK illegally. I have a plan to stop it. Here’s how 🧵 dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
