Isn’t a manifesto a list of pledges during a 5-year Parliament?
Does #Labour still have 3 1/2 years to make good, or is BBC 😂#neutrality a myth?
I don’t remember any previous governments being berated, on a daily basis, over those 40 new #hospitals 🤔

Many #Labour MPs exaggerate their childhood hardships to emphasise their working class roots.
Poor Rachel Reeves doesn’t have to. Her uncle is a #LeeAnderson fanboy and former #Tory Friend of Wealthy House-Price Fluffers.

“… some have been arrested after false allegations” is not a reason to end an adoption.
Unless adopted almost at birth, these children are likely to be deeply troubled. They typically try to break down placements as a means of finally gaining control of their lives after multiple rejections.

Benefits for people who work but aren't paid enough should be counted separately from the welfare bill. Should be a 'private company subsidy' in the ledger.

#AmolRajan: “Real family incomes are lower than in 2008”

Thank goodness there is no other political group that could feasibly be held responsible for the slump in wages.

#KemiBadenoch seems to think #Cheerios are the UK ‘National Breakfast’.
She considers sandwiches to be “not a real food” and thinks “lunch is for wimps”.
Her citizenship came through her #HealthTourist mother exploiting UK generosity.
She never did bother to #integrate, did she?

“… but having had a system for hundreds of years” that allowed the public real influence on criminal justice has helped protect the interests of common people, and its importance should not be dismissed as a way to continue the disastrous austerity project of a previous government.

Judges are always fair and balanced.
Surely everyone remembers how fragrant Mary Archer was, or that the pIRA bombers were clearly guilty as the alternative (widespread corruption) was unthinkable.
… and countless women & children ‘contributed’ to their own abuse through their behaviour or dress.

The only message i got from #CharlieFaulkner on #r4Today was that the little people like us can’t be trusted to understand evidence or objectively judge a case as a
member of a #jury. And the idea that Judges will always be a bulwark against an overbearing state is laughable. just look at the #US

OK - we can't trust the system because it isn't processing cases fast enough and there's a backlog.
Why would removing the right to a jury trial increase trust in the system when the other alternative, properly resourcing it, wouldn't? #r4today

He does not deny using #racist or #antisemitic terms, but claims he was not aware his targets were #Jewish.
Or #black.
Maybe they did not attend #CofE assemblies because they were #Catholic. It’s fine to gas Catholics.
