Pinned
In the mid-90s I set fire to myself. My sister and her husband arrived for dinner from the Isle of Wight. I turned up the gas on the stove and threw the pasta into the boiling water.

- Last week, for the sake of twenty quid, he tipped 800,000 people into poverty. This week, our PM paints in a villa costing £25,000 per week. I feel sick.
- Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan". I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support. I do not support the "Rwanda plan". If you don't either, please retweet.
- I studied economics at the same Oxford college as Liz Truss and don't recall anyone there giving the remotest credence to trickle down economics. We all know it's a lie. We knew then and we know now.
- I stand by our "foreign" doctors. I stand by our "foreign" nurses. I stand by our "foreign" staff, our key workers, our friends, our neighbours, and all of our superb people. They aren't "foreign" at all. They are us.
- Hands up if you think a Minister who spent *half a million pounds* on a flight to Australia should be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure? ✋ #LizTruss #takebackBritain
- 'Anyone who wants to can buy a test' just as 'anyone who wants to' can buy a Ferrari, just as 'anyone who wants to' can buy a lucrative PPE contract, just as 'anyone who wants to' can buy a peerage, just as anyone can buy anything in Johnson's Britain - as long as they have cash.
- You can celebrate your Raducanus or you can push back boats. You can't do both.
- Let's face it. They turn up expecting every entitlement. We give them free accommodation and subsidised food. Some even commit crimes while we fund them! They may pretend to integrate with us, but really they hate our culture and our laws. Put these Tory ministers on a barge.
- Your BBC costs you £159 a year. Your Culture Secretary, Nadine Dorries, costs you nearly one thousand licence fees, at £149,437 per year. Your Culture Secretary had no clue how Channel 4 was funded. Whose funding should we take away?
- Your cost of living is increasing at its fastest rate for 30 years. Your Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, says he "understands the pressures people are facing". Your Chancellor and his wife are richer than the Queen.
- Wow. Martin Lewis furious on the radio. FURIOUS. We're being totally stitched up on energy prices. @MartinSLewis
- Hands up if you don't need to wait for Sue Gray to tell you if you are angry. Hands up if you don't need to wait for Sue Gray to tell you whether this Prime Minister should take a running jump, and take his whole corrupt cabal with him. ✋✋✋
- Sajid Javid just described deaths as "mercifully low". Since his "Freedom Day", thirteen thousand, nine hundred and eighty-six people have died of Covid in the UK. What's merciful, or low, about that?
