Voting against No Deal- instant suspension of whip. Not allowed to stand at next election unless you promise to vote for Johnson's shit deal.

Working 22 hours a week outside Parliament for a year, and fucking off to the Caribbean taking advantage of pandemic voting rules- matter for the voters.

The BBC has footage of him being handed a mask and putting it on, after attempting to elbow-bump nurses without one.

It doesn't look as though he anticipated wearing one, or being asked to wear one.

And when is the next GE? :roll:

Mid-term dissatisfaction, nothing more. Sunak will lob some tax cuts out there in a couple of years' time to please the faithful, Labour will lose again and KS may well be looking for a new job.

Just watch. A GE is three years away.

For most of the population, Brexit has *possibly* just meant the minor inconvenience of a few empty spaces on the shelves of Waitrose or M&S.

Nowhere near the calamity people were forecasting.

The state pension is measly compared to the rest of Western Europe. It would be even lower if they didn’t deliver for a Tory Party that could find votes elsewhere to cross the line.

Comparisons of pension rates between countries aren't straightforward, because the systems vary so much.

I prefer concentrating more on pensioner incomes, but as it says there, lots of pension credit goes unclaimed.

From further down in that twitter thread
The Government case will be that it’s fair for grads and taxpayers.

A Whitehall insider: “It is a fairness argument. Normal working people, a lot of whom do not go to university and benefit from student loans, are paying for this."
What sort of argument is that? There must be 1000s of grants,programmes, schemes, loans etc, that comes from government and benefits some people and not others.

Divisive twats.
