Unbelievably, Iran (yes, Iran) has just been elected to the UN Committee that sets the priorities for women’s rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. This, the country with an almost uniquely violent record of brutalising women, executing peaceful female protesters and of course sponsoring very widespread terrorism.
Equally unbelievably, the UK nominated Iran and although the voting is secret, we must assume it subsequently voted for Iran in the General Assembly. This is the same UK that is nominally run by PM Andy Burnham who declared only a few weeks ago that “we will always stand with the underdog and take what action we can to support them.”
If the young women of Iran who dare to remove their headscarves, or sing, or engage in peaceful protest to press for basic democracy aren’t the underdog in their battle with a vicious and murderous regime… who then is an underdog?
I can’t exaggerate how ashamed I am of my country. I’m sickened and repulsed by what it has become. I barely recognise it. Burnham should hang his head in utter shame.
And as for the UN, it has come to embody institutional corruption and gaslighting on a global scale.
It put China, Qatar and Cuba in charge of the body charged with protecting human rights worldwide.
It put China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan (all of which crush/ban NGOs in their own countries) in charge of the body that decides which civil-society groups and NGOs get UN accreditation and access.
It put Syria (under Assad) in charge the body that promotes education, culture, and press freedom.
How long must this continue? The UN has no credibility whatsoever and should be stripped back to the basics- a debating chamber for the big global issues of the day. And nothing more.
How can anyone defend this?

To show willing to the public, why doesn’t the government stop the huge subsidies on food & beverages enjoyed by MPs & Lords at the dining rooms and restaurants inside the Palace of Westminster ?
We are all in this together at the end of the day …

What’s the messages to @GreggsOfficial and other businesses.
Seems Govt promises are meaningless…

I have absolutely no idea why my timeline is completely ignoring the suspension of Labour MP Perran Moon today. He was just caught trying to dissolve his private company without paying back a £50,000 taxpayer-funded Covid loan. Right as this government prepares to hammer ordinary families with tax hikes in the Budget.
Here is what they desperately hope stays quiet!🧵

The average UK household is now spending nearly £2,800 more a year just on basic bills compared to five years ago.
At this rate, "turning the heating on" will soon be classified as a mid-life crisis luxury expenditure alongside buying a Porsche.

I would love to see a change to the order of parade at the Cenotaph.
Once the King and Royal Family have laid their wreaths, I’d like to see the politicians wait until every single veteran’s association has laid their wreath.
Politicians should stand & wait in gratitude. Remind these grifters of their place in the scheme of things.
Absolute understatement.
There maybe equality in policing, but there certainly isn’t equity.
You cannot have one without the other, and invariably women still lose out.

The only thing in this country that hasn't gone up in value is the quality of the people running it.

Interesting development on this…there may be several reasons…but is this due to a potential merger plan where Gloucestershire & Warwickshire merge as a pilot in readiness for the mega force plan? Or absorbed by West Midlands Police for the same reason 🤔
🚨Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe has ended the recruitment process and withdrawn Emma Bond MBE’s preferred candidate status for the role of Chief Constable.
What do you think this means for the future leadership of Warwickshire Police?

Current prices are high because of wars in Ukraine/Gulf. That won’t last forever. Plus most existing wind farms are on the Renewable Obligations regime — which means they get a ton of subsidies PLUS the full market price. Double bubble — or windfall profits for them. Yet no talk of a windfall tax … Strange.
Why are Downing Street commenting on Walliams & Brand?
Labour’s fawning over these morons is the issue and now rowing for shore just shows them for what they are - bamboozled by fame & sucked in.
Amazing what happens when you perform fiscal gerrymandering by putting benefits & not working before hard work & contribution to society.

So the Chancellor John Healey and the Labour government will scrap crackdowns on welfare fraud, but at the same time, allow HMRC to get access to raid taxpayers’ bank accounts.
Soft on the benefit fraudsters. Hard on those who fund them.
What a slap in the face for those working hard & contributing
