@IanDunt He literally registered this week. Only way to explain why he was evasive over the weekend.

@NicholasTyrone Agreed, we need the political equivalent of the hypocratic oath when MPs get sworn in!

Useful link within the article that shows you just how much your MP is raking in while not focusing on their constituency work. Here’s our MP, McVey whose main job seems to be for GB news.

Fab project fr @SkyNews & @tortoise - compiling all publicly avail data on MPs' earnings. More than £17m raked in fr 2nd jobs since 2019: £15.2m to Tory MPs. Top 3 Theresa May (£2.5m), Geoffrey Cox (£2.2m) & Boris Johnson (£1m) who earns £32k an hour. news.sky.com/story/westmins…

@TonyClewes Thing is, if there are a small minority of people in the UKwith far right views, then there should be a small minority of far right MPs. That's democracy. Right now the far right have massive influence over the tory party who would be far more moderate otherwise.

It doesn't matter what the PM said at the homeless shelter, it's the fact that someone in his team thought a man worth £730m giving a homeless person a plate of sausages and eggs would be good PR.

@Roxanne_Mashari @GordonBrown The biggest problem with local government is being a local Councillor is a low paid job, only really doable by retired people or those with other income sources. Reduce the numbers, make it a full time properly paid position and we'll get far more talented, diverse candidates.

@RichardBurgon Private schools are not charities, the services they provide aren’t primarily for public benefit, they’re for the benefit of those who can afford them. Yes, some offer bursaries but that’s no different to thousands of businesses with corporate social responsibility strategie

Here's a graph that makes you think. The number of people over 65 in the world is set to double to 1.4bn by 2043 - how will these people be cared for and what will they need? A proper UK industrial strategy would be thinking about this.

This is big! Labour members just overwhelmingly backed PR 👏👏 Great news - a real sea change! Yet @Keir_Starmer has his fingers in his ears. People are crying out for fresh, progressive politics where votes count & voices are heard. And it’s coming, whether leaders agree or not

Electoral reform is the precondition of the most important constitutional changes we need in our country. It is the foundation upon we can build a moderate, consensual, evidence-based system from the ruins of pathological know-nothing machismo. There's no more important fight.
