“They avoided one another's faces for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon some protest then I'll murmur agreement not actually say anything I'm not stupid but definitely murmur very firmly so that the others will be in no doubt I thoroughly disapprove because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard”

#BBCLauraK has just discovered a video that #ZackPolanski circulated, which falsely claimed Zellensky had requested money from Boris Johnson and that Johnson had cancelled a peace conference

In light of that, Laura said he was not fit to lead a political party.

..... wait until she discovers Zack's 'grow your boobs by hypnosis' videos

Regretfully, Zack has too much baggage and is not fit to stand as a leader for the #GreenParty

On ##BBCLauraK #Badenoch says there are 58 hostages still missing, but on #TrevorPhillips, she said there were 50 hostages missing.

I think someone is advising her.

#Badenoch rattles on about the #Chagos islands on #BBCLauraK and #TrevorPhillips

I am fairly sure there are very few people in the streets of the UK for whom this is of consequence xx

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @ZackPolanski talked very well on #BBCLaurak #BackZack

Upon watching The Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, on #BBCLauraK and #TrevorPhillips I see now how Labour have learnt absolutely nothing from the #Localelections and are determined to continue the same stupid path and try and out do #Reform because they think this this is what the public wants.

It isn't. What the public wanted from Labour was best exemplified by this lady on Thursday's ##BbcQuestionTime

1/2

#BBCLauraK makes #ChrisPhilp squirm as she reveals that some hotels have contracts, signed off by the #Conservatives, to house #asylumseekers set to run until 2029

To that, he says ....

"The answer to the hotel problem is to stop people crossing The Channel."

He's not called Mr Philp for nothing

Yvette Cooper is asked today about immigration on #BBCLauraK "Do you think we have to cut the numbers, no matter the cost to the care sector?"

Cooper replies, "We do believe it needs to come down further .. we must not always keep on thinking that immigration is the answer though"

Bet Kendall is pricking up her witch's ears at that.

#BBCLauraK pushes #Tory Holingrake as to whether he would collaborate with #Reform to "get things done" when the ##localelections are finished

He does not say no

She does not ask him about EDI, mass deportation, selling off the NHS records, public hangings, closure of parks and swimming pools, fascist torch light parades, the end of the welfare state, the music of Boyzone to be banned etc etc

Tory Lord Houchan claims on today's #BBCLauraK that #NHS waiting times have come down because the strikes have ended

That is untrue

By and large, the strikes had marginal effect. It was the substantial investment by the current Labour government that reduced the numbers.

Andy Burnham is sitting there like a sack of potatoes, allowing these shibbolleths to fall

Ed Davey on #BBCLauraK

"The Supreme Court actually said a #Trans woman is a woman except for the Equality Act where she isn't."

I can only understand that as one group of marginalised people being diminished in the eyes of the law

And that, for me, is anathema.

#TransWomenAreWomen

End of

Happy #SocialistSunday everyone. Will follow/follow back like-minded people. #bbclaurak #TrevorPhillips #TaxTheRich #WealthTax #Socialism

@HarriettMB @Geri You forgot the free food and TV licences, both permissible under parliamentary expenses rules.

Did right-wing enabler #BBCLauraK ask #Frogface about his extra-parliamentary income?

Overall, he earns many multiples of the PM's salary.

"The whole work from home culture needs to go. .... A lot of people working in these sectors earn more than the Prime Minister"

Said #Frogface about council workers in today's #BBCLauraK

On today's ##BBCLAURAK we hear of revelations that steel workers prevented Chinese management shutting off the furnaces at ##BritishSteel at #Scunthorpe by 'direct intervention"

Gosh!

#Badenoch is crowing the wonderful Tttptpttt deal or whatever it's called. ##BBCLauraK reminds her it will only add 0.8% over 10 years to the economy

She rather naively thinks we can pick up a trade deal that we started in 2020 and carry on where we left off

She is seriously out of her depth

Darren Jones on #BBCLauraK says it was "unacceptable" that the two Labour MP were denied entry to #Israel

#Badenoch on the same programme says "they were breaking the law"

Today, #BBCLauraK asked Darren Jones if globalisation and, therefore, the time of cheap goods was over

He replied, "[Yes] and that is why we are investing in our domestic industries."

I do not recall many factories round my way churning out TVs, laptops, and mobiles

What do we make in the UK? Scotch Whisky and Eccles Cakes

On today's #BBCLauraK, Alex Burghart, the Shadow Duchy of Lancaster, talked about how #Badenoch had changed the #Conservative Party after saying the country needed a '#Rwanda' policy to stop immigration

Ahem

#BBCLauraK to #JustinWelby...
"Do you forgive John Smyth?''

"Yes," he replies
