- Never in my lifetime have things been this bad in the UK, horrible
- “Britain is in decline. We’re getting poorer.” Largely because of the disastrous #Brexit you guys schemed and lied forBritain is in decline. We’re getting poorer. Reform UK Leader, @Nigel_Farage MP addresses this budget's major shortcomings in his response today.
00:00 - If Commons speaker Lindsay Hoyle cannot oblige Johnson to apologise for lies, there is something hopelessly wrong in our parliamentary system
- I’m a white Islingtonian Londoner. Neighbour: Italian Local shop: Turkish Drycleaner: Iranian Dressmaker: Albanian Hairdresser: Rumanian Builder: Polish IT chap: South Asian Staff in M&S/Waitrose/JS: very varied Youngster giving me Tube seat: Black #ThisisLondon #Thankyouall
- I object to way Letwin amendment is being portrayed on @BBCr4today as provoking ‘groans across the nation as meaning yet more fudge and delay’. How about ‘as saving us from a disastrous no-deal crashout and giving the chance for proper scrutiny and even a new vote by citizens’?
- Most Brits had no idea how much of the streamlining of European travel was thanks to the EU: EHIC card, pet passports, ability to work/retire, no roaming charges, no green card, no international driving licence, no visas. They just took them for granted. About to discover loss.
- “Lord Parkinson was asked how many ounces were in a pound. He said 14 ounces but the answer is 16. He was then asked how many grams of sausages he would get if he ordered a pound, and answered 250g. The correct answer is 450g.” Marvellous.
- For those of us who intensely dislike Johnson, this is all the most enormous fun. But I weep at how low our country has been brought.
- It is utterly shameful to call any person ‘low-value’."We had a huge number of very low-value, low-skilled people coming through” – Iain Duncan Smith on EU migration
00:00 - Reform (ex-Tory) Andrea Jenkyns wants to ‘return Britain to our glorious past’. Which bits is she fondest of? Slavery? Child labour? Flats advertised ‘no Irish, no blacks’? No NHS? Women earning half of men, sacked on marriage & owned by their husbands? All so glorious.
- Johnson is by far the worst PM in my lifetime. I feel such utter contempt for him.
- Johnson will be gone by Sunday.
