So, let me get this straight.

Republicans were all supportive of Trump when he was convicted of s3xual assault and convicted over the Stormy Daniel’s payoff.

…supportive of him when he said he would implement tariffs during the campaign!!

NOW they’re not supportive of #Donaldovic ??? NOW???

Latest example of a UK celebrity using their fame to manipulate and take advantage of people for their own personal gratification.

I think it’s time for a change in the law so that broadcasters (BBC, ITV etc) are equally as culpable as the perpetrators.

This is pie in the sky stuff.

They have also announced that they’ll scrap business rates.

What does this mean?

Back to public sector strikes, even more food banks, an even poorer justice system…

The Tories are absolutely useless.

Of course Jenrick refuses to apologise. He’s a lawyer and UK lawyers are hard wired never to apologise for anything.

But after he spoke a couple of months ago about “weird Turkish barber shops”, I think it’s safe to assume this guy is a racist.

The Labour government is fully on board. More has been done than ever before in the last 12 months for the push to renewables.

What on earth are you banging on about?

If you guys are into “Good Law”, why don’t you look at the ridiculousness of the SRA and BSB?

It’s time to break up the big 4 accounting firms.

Either they can’t add, which is bad, or they are intentionally lying. Also bad.

Basically, they’re bad.

Trevor Phillips (of Sky News) is currently on Sky News at the Tory Party conference hosting a roundtable with everyone’s favourite nasty aunt (Priti Patel) and the most belligerent PM Australia has ever had (Tony Abbott).

Trevor, this isn’t a good look.

When the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - UK was on course to make list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights. Is it any wonder they want us to join Russia & Belarus as only European countries outside the ECHR

A number plucked from thin air.

A dog whistle sound bite.

Yes, the oldest political party in the world has fallen THAT far.

The Tories, who broke our immigration system, now want to kick out a random number of people.

Pathetic.
