New Prisons Minister James #Timpson is an inspired choice - a successful businessman who employs ex-convicts.
The tired reflexive "views" (if they can be called such) of the chatterati of the poodle-press of the ousted #Tories are neither here nor there. Their champions FAILED & they need to SIT DOWN.
It is fraught, and some reoffending is inevitable - no sphere of human activity is risk free. We need collectively to back new initiatives to overhaul our broken prison system.

Just when you thought it was safe to leave BBC Radio News on; "This morning Nigel Farage presents his manifesto..."
Off.
It isn't a political party, BBC. It is a private limited company. If you understood the difference and made the distinction, you would understand - you have no obligation to platform it, and presenting it on an equal footing with the other political parties putting up candidates is not educating & informing your listeners, but misinforming them.

Wes and Keir: private healthcare is not an adjunct to the National Health Service, but is parasitic upon it. It steals away the cost-of-training, the expertise, the employees, and 'leverages' all that into shareholder and insurance-corporation profit.
You are both up to your eyeballs in corporate bribes (aka 'donations') and the NHS is no more safe in your hands than under the Tories. Siloing the Service into 'competing' trusts has been a major mistake - examine that for your reforming zeal.

Remember the 2019 #Tory manifesto promising a "National Care Service"?
Remember their pledge to cap care home fees recoupable by local authorities from Estates?
Remember who was Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time, and how his pledges evaporated into thin air?
Senior citizens of the United Kingdom, form an orderly queue please to be "had" by the #Tories again ahead of a General Election.

Hey Cooperative retail store, how is it my new-season raspberries are coming from Morocco this year, and not from Tayside? Could it be because the moronic Tory #Brexit loons chased away the seasonal pickers for reasons of pointless performative xenophobia?
Thought so.

Dear US friends, 4th July is going to pass into British History as a day of liberation for us too. Liberation from the worst Government we have endured within living memory. Calling themselves the #Conservative Party, they proved to be a bunch of incompetent economically-illiterate nationalist populist buffoons. Up to their ears in the 'donations' of oligarchs, they confiscated our rights & insulted our neighbours.
We get to escape the rabbit hole. Don't go back down it yourselves (please).

Performative cruelty against the weakest; asylum seekers, the homeless, the disabled. Redoubled now for the elections. Such are the calling cards of the proto-fascists, who always walked among us, but whom we vaulted into power. Systematically stripping citizens & would-be residents of rights, dignity & security in the name of false "liberty" & "patriotism", 14 yrs of #Tory has produced the most pitifully awful & disgusting leaders & Governments in our modern history.

The Mullahs of Iran have been supplying their Iran-built "shahed" drones to Russia for months. Iran has cynically abetted the raining of explosives on a sovreign democratic nation, #Ukraine, and profited by it.
What becomes of the Iranian regime, & specifically its repressive theocracy, which hangs its own dissenting citizens, is of no material import to the strategic position in Europe at this time. They have sown the wind.

@npub1u2h…z4d7 @npub17dn…a7ch During the Cold War the Soviets had a massive preponderance over NATO in troops, tanks & artillery. What stopped them actually seizing Berlin, or worse, wasn't the ICBMs but the 'battlefield' nuclear weapons. It is only in the present supposed absence of those now, following arms reduction, that Russia could even contemplate such an attack. A fortnight spent in trenches in FRG in the 80s contemplating such things convinces me of this. It is sad, but Europe must rearm.

A refugee of my wife's acquaintance hasn't come to English class for three weeks. My wife called to find out more. The person has been suffering from agonising toothache and cannot get treatment, because she has no money to pay privately and has no access to an NHS dentist. She has been placed on a waiting list by a local assistance charity. This is not right. Spiteful & petty persecution of such people to suit #Tory dogma is both revolting & self-defeating.

If the Tories find themselves weary of the audible & visible expressions of widepread discontent, let them reflect that when they said "F#ck U" from June 2016 onwards to 17m dissenting citizens including two entire constituent nations of the United Kingdom, they earned every last decibel & syllable of it, alongside the ENDURING contempt of the intelligent portion of their electorate. Time to take your electoral medicine Toryboys & girls, & follow your own advice of 2016.

Hah!
Firms wishing to sell food in UK will need to employ vets & other inspectors, fill in & approve paperwork, then hope the UK government's computer system works and that their lorries aren't pulled over for inspection.
Expect a right royal Tory f#ck-up, the likes of which will make Fujitsu Horizon & Dido Harding inc look expert. NOBODY runs nationally strategic critical systems without exhaustive regional trial.

Hearing a British Prime Minister proclaiming the 'virtue' of deportation of refugees ('migrants', asylum seekers, whatever) to a third world country notorious for its own sad history of genocidal civil war, makes me sick to my stomach. #Sunak drags the #UK reputation for fairplay, the rule of law, & providing sanctuary through the gutter, && a cheer goes up in Downham Market [insert your own local deprived, insular centre of xenophobic credulity].
Vote them all out.

What makes us think that a Party that used a pandemic as their pretext for kicking over the rulebook on open competitive tendering, to start handing out 'VIP lane' contracts to cronies & donors, wouldn't hesitate to settle on some other 'emergency' to 'postpone' a general election 'until further notice'?
Even the Russians know the date of their GE. We must wait until an unelected Prime Minister feels like it, on the footing he thinks he still has 'more he wants to do.'

@npub15zu…s7lx All very well, but the prospect of the respected Guardian newspaper & its excellent journalist Mr Alexander proferring unsolicited opinion on what the EU 'ought' to do, from within #Brexit Britain, having ejected ourselves and forgone our MEPs, Commissioner and place at the Council of Ministers, might well strike citizens, parliamentarians & leaders of Member States as a little odd - to put it mildly.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 I absolutely do not trust NHS external private healthcare "partners" with my data. On a routine recent repeat prescription exercise however, my GP Surgery required me to complete a questionnaire online featuring the logo of a company i had never heard of & know nothing about. I had no option.
The data cat, is already out of the #NHS bag, by stealth, deceit & compulsion, and i am very angry about it.
UK Government lack of respect for personal data was made clear from Cummings.

The undignified final days of Judge Jeffreys "The Hanging Judge". Captured in a Wapping tavern 'The Town of Ramsgate' (despite shaving off his "ferocious eyebrows" and dressing as a sailor), and conveyed to the nearby Tower of London, where he died in 1689.
Karma.

@npub1g0t…tvm4 Quite why #Tories imagine that Pension Fund Trustees, Employers, Auditors, Actuaries, Administrators & Ombudsmen should be remotely inclined to take seriously the #EnglishNationalist Bright Ideas Merchants who tanked the pound, frightened away foreign investment, confiscated Freedom of Movement of Capital Goods Labour and (in particular) FINANCIAL Services, & battered Pension fund valuations such that most are in structural deficit, is one of the mysteries of our times.

During the 80s and 90s the #Tories privatised telecomunications, railways and water utilities.
It was unfinished business, and this time round they widened and deepened their project with 'academy' schools, dentistry, and by lying in their manifesto about a 'National Care Service'. Now they have come for primary healthcare (GP practices).
When we finally get to kick them out, next year, they will depart with a private smirk, telling each other 'job done'.
Another blighted generation.
