The #BBC commentators repeating how 'brutal' #UKElection2024 is, highlighting the PM and Chancellor. Oh yes, those multi-millionaires who now have to leave their second (3rd+?) home and still get paid a very good salary. Absolutely brutal. Get some perspective... #UKElections2024

Don't believe the narrative that the UK is bankrupt due to a few hundred desperate people in boats, when in reality.... bbc.com/news/articles/cll476…

So many leading Brexiteer MPs stepping down. With the #UK in decline and #Brexit crippling its economy, do they think their fun soundbite has been a tremendous success? Cute they say they have other things they want to get up to now - after all the damage they've caused. Bravo!

Villa in the Champions League! #AVFC What a job #Emery has done. Should be PL Manager of the Season.

The planet is on fire, Antarctic sea ice is at record lows and the climate is collapsing. Yet #Sunak thinks it's worth spurting off more populist nonsense that'll help bury future generations to hide from his flatlining economy. The #UK is tragic and leaderless.

Please stop by for this wonderful outdoor exhibition at Snow Hill in tribute to the late Dave Oram of @Brumpic. Dave compiled the ultimate compendium of photos of Birmingham past. The Brummie’s Brummie. There won’t be another like him. Thank you @ColmoreBID for making this happen

Come on #England. Though #Spain look like a different animal to what we saw in the group games in #Wellington. #WorldCupFinal

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica. Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event. Hang onto your hats. HT @EliotJacobson

Seems prudent for #Birmingham to once again step in and save the #CommonwealthGames in 2026.

Let this sink in. "Britain is now paying the price for leaving the EU. By 2024, the average UK household will have a lower living standard than the average household in Slovenia. By 2030, on present trends, it will be poorer than the average household in Poland." #BrexitReality

Really enjoyed the #DnDMovie. Wonder if @HackedOffHugh based some of his character on Boris Johnson.

Britain in Crisis: The UK Faces a Steep Climb Out of a Deep Hole

Food shortages, moldy apartments, a lack of medical workers: The United Kingdom is facing a perfect storm of struggle, and millions are sliding into poverty. There is little to suggest that improve...

But Matt, that could prove that right wing views don’t hold up under academic scrutiny? Have you ever considered that the whole panoply - from free market fundamentalism to punitive criminal justice policies - are just wrong?

Three quarters of academics at the most elite universities identify with the political Left. Just 1 in 10 identify with the Right. amzn.to/3UKrXgt

BBC management should get the Nobel Peace Prize for uniting the entire political spectrum.

They've run the #UK into the abyss. We finally got out in 2022, but it still hurts to see from overseas. #MOTD

The #UK is in economic stagnation. It's cost of living spirals, and it's world standing continues to decline. None of this has been caused by asylum seekers. This #StopTheBoats nonsense is a shameful lash out at the most vulnerable people.

Lost for words. There is no vision. No policies. No ethics or values. Just this.
