What's that got to do with Elon Musk? Even if he's right about the BBC, Twitter existed before.

Yebbut Libtards.

Cummings has got more.

Dave Penman, leader of the FDA, tells him, no, Hamas supporters aren't prevalent in government. Dom says yeah, in HR departments (?!) and Government should shut his union down which is full of Hamas supporters.

More perfectly reasonable behaviour from a member of a perfectly reasonable government:

[Boiler]

The question we should be asking is why is he doing this? Maybe the renter sees them as an invasion of her privacy and has asked for their removal?

[Malcolm Armsteen]

Umm - the renter put them up because he was harassing her...

[Boiler]

Well, it would help if more information had been presented rather than a click-bait tweet. Then an informed judgement could be made.

Personally, I always read a mail write up before making an informed judgement ...

[Tubby Isaacs]

WTF? Error of judgement to display Black History Month colours?! Because something about Hamas who even she doesn't think it's supporting.

[Crabcakes]

The Hamas flag is green, and their logo has other colours in very small amounts. So to be ‘offended’ by this Lucy will have had to do just enough research to find something she thinks is an ‘own’, but simultaneously not enough to also find out it’s overwhelmingly more likely to be for a different reason.

I mean it’s a skill I suppose. A terrible one, but a skill nonetheless. Threading the bullshit needle.

Palestine uses the pan-Arab colours (red, black, green, white). The pan-African colours are red, gold and green. The only way to read this is that she thinks they're all the same if they're not white.

Why does this not surprise me...

HS2 evictees to be told they can buy back their old homes, but at a higher price

Families who sold their homes along the cancelled HS2 northern leg could have to pay hundreds of thousands more if they want their properties back, i can reveal.

The Government is working on plans to sell-off almost £600m of properties that were bought along the now axed northern section of the line and, under law, must offer the original owners the right to buy their homes back before putting them on the open market.

However, the former owners will be charged at today’s market value meaning they could now be unaffordable to many “desperate” to return to the homes.

Tim Broomhead, a partner at agents Knight Frank, “Many HS2 sellers were desperate not to leave, and many who want to return may well find they can no longer afford to buy back their cherished homes.”..

If a family sold their home to HS2 when Statutory Blight sales began in 2015 at the then average price in England of around £203,000 they would have to pay £306,000 to buy it back today.

I'm pretty sure that house prices haven't risen by 50% in the last eight years.

I wonder how much Tory MP-owned Channel Island shell companies would have to pay for the same properties?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Wouldn't be surprised if prices had risen by something like 50% in some of these places.

[Watchman]

On top of that I’m assuming some who “sold” at a very decent price also ended up paying Capital Gains tax

[Tubby Isaacs]

Only if it was their second property.

Ha ha ha. Labour will have to say which of the illustrative policies it will cancel. Sadly, it's unlikely to go ahead with HS2 without bipartisan support anyway.

Didn't Rishi "cancel" those projects a couple of days after his conference closed.
"Those were illustrations" - he explained.

[Andy McDandy]

Ah but it's different when they do it.
