Hereโs how they got it completely wrong.

My thought for the day. Single Market. Customs Union. More money for defence. Strengthen Europe. Place us firmly back at the heart of our continent economically, militarily and geopolitically.
Hereโs a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call โsub-optimalโ journalism๐งต
A prime minister dining with his family on a Friday evening is more readily available in a crisis than a prime minister on a lads' weekend with the KGB in a castle in Perugia
We didn't have parties to "boost morale".
We didn't have quiz nights.
We didn't have champagne.
We watched our colleagues die.
We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands.
These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office.
Use your vote. Vote.
I challenge @RishiSunak to release the #Russianreport - unredacted - and letโs finally start talking about something important in this election campaign. Do please retweet if you agree.
Farage has for once done the country - if not possibly himself - a favour by making Putin an election issue. Might it be a good moment to release - unredacted - the #Russianreport so we all understand whatโs been going on?
My comment on the report: "We used to think of the combination of undernutrition and obesity as a feature of low and middle income countries. We are now seeing it in Britain in 2024".
๐ข Our latest report highlights the disconcerting deterioration in children's health.
๐ Height of 5 year-olds falling since 2013
๐ฉบ Obesity among 10-11 year-olds up 30%
๐ Type 2 diabetes among under 25s up 22%

Please follow and RT if you wonโt be voting for the Conservatives next month.
We need help to raise awareness of the damage they have done to our NHS so that our health service can finally begin to recover.
URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...
1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.uโฆ
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voโฆ
