Vance: “I don't think most Americans are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and problems of most Americans” 🤔

Nope. How ill judged to go on I’m a Celebrity for two weeks as an MP…
How ill-judged of Angela Rayner..utterly adolescent of her – to have thought it was a good idea to party like it's 1999..she's the deputy prime minister..after Labour's announcements..many fear for the future. Me in DM ✍️ read here Source: Mail Online search.app/u9wHqhTXANQa8zvJA

Ah, they’re at it again! The Times article with the heading “Two Scottish private schools close citing Labour VAT plan” What do we think? Is the plan that hasn’t been enacted yet to blame for these closures? Maybe….. Let’s take a look 👀 #LabourGovernment2024 1/19 🧵

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬

Yet another reminder to James Cleverly that there were ZERO small boats before Tory Brexit when we were part of the Dublin Agreement. This is a Tory manufactured problem.
Over 700 people on 11 boats. Two tragic deaths in the Channel. Yesterday was a clear signal that Labour must reverse their bad decisions and get a grip of the situation or we will continue to see the dire consequences.

Just Boris Johnson, who refused to cut short his holiday when riots broke out, criticising someone who chose not to go on holiday.
Time to pack the Factor 50, Keir, check out of Britain - and reflect on the frenzy of utter stupidity Labour's embarked on dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

Today's NHS data release shows that the number of patients waiting more than 12 hours in A&E, after the decision to admit, is worse than ever in 2024. Every single month in 2024 had significantly more 12 hour waits in A&E than any previous year on record. england.nhs.uk/statistics/st…

This is an alternative presentation of the A&E waiting times data. Current >12 hour A&E waits are simply on a different scale from what we saw a decade ago. Back then 40 people was typical, not 40 thousand!

Those in power who have enabled , encouraged and incited the violence are just as culpable as the angry mobs on the streets. It’s time to tackle the violence and the hate preachers in politics, the media and think tanks Watch my discussion today @thismorning

Spare us the faux outrage Robert and the leadership contest “serious face” bull💩 And use this awful moment to reflect on your language and conduct and what impact it’s had on where the country finds itself.
All violence must end. All violence must be called out. Now is the time to punish the guilty and restore order.

My friend @D_G_Alexander might not thank me for saying so (tho I don’t know from sure) but I do think @MhairiBlack is a big loss to Parliament. And she is absolutely spot on here. Like a summary of Chapter 5 of But What Can I Do? … the threat of fascism.
🚨 Some people did try and warn us that fascism was around the corner.

1/ 🧵Just did a network analysis of the "far right thugs unite" hashtag. It largely seems to be a simulated scandal/outrage to promote the Reform Party and Nigel Farage and - while also being an attack on Keir Starmer.

Every so often @JohnJCrace is deadly serious, with deadly effect. This - on the way in which @Nigel_Farage baselessly & despicably incited hatred - is outstanding. theguardian.com/politics/art…
