Now as #Partygate drags on with Johnson out of the equation #BackBoris will latch on to every story and magnify it.
Sunak's role and complicity in #Partygate will be exposed by stories and inaction or by the Covid Inquiry

It is obvious from recent disclosures
- no rules in Downing St where he lived and worked
- Mail story yesterday when he walked past a garden gathering in March 2021
- the desperation to hide the diaries and Whatsapp messages from the Inquiry
SUNAK was fully aware and complicit

- even more about Harriet Harman a non voting Chair on a Committee that made a unanimous decision.
Now that is out of the system focus on Sunak reality

You know what really gets me about all this? I want to know which Conservative MPs were at the party held in the Commons on 8 December 2020.
Because I want to know exactly which steaming hypocrites of Tory MPs self righteously sat through all those months of persecution of 1/5

2/5 Boris, watching him suffer, not bothering to vote down that Labour motion in that appalling debate in April 2022, publicly running him down, even sitting on the Privileges Committee in judgement on him, knowing all the time that they had been to a party in a small room,
3/5 With alcohol, and, horror of horrors, birthday cake. Standing up in the Commons condemning him for something they had done themselves.
They should hang their heads in shame. Who would want people like that representing them?

Brexit, a trojan horse to hide the tory mismanagement and theft of over £2 trillion since 2010 only makes up 1.25% of the money lost

1) Out of nowhere the Brexit referendum was announced and the date set was June 23rd 2016 by David Cameron.
'A once in a generation decision'
'Its your chance to decide if we stay or leave the EU'
'The government will implement what you decide'
'Its just an IN/OUT vote'

2) The government, establishment and most of the media, who should be impartial, sent out leaflets to every house claiming they believe the UK should remain in the EU
The date was set and everyone seemed to be ready, happy with the up-and-coming vote and a friendly vibe about it

Gosh, bot networks are out in force today pushing #NeverLabour #BackBoris ... always remember, you are likely to be talking to a bot or someone trapped and being radicalised within a network. They are usually not aware that most of their active "friends" have an agenda ...
... or are actually bots. So be kind, be mindful of this. There can be good people trapped and radicalised by this stuff, see the whole #DefundBBC saga.
If you need to engage then listen first, be kind, be caring and don't push them further into these networks.

Wow ... bot networks (and people captured in these networks) have gone into overdrive this morning pumping out the idea that strikers and their supporters are capitalist hating marxists. Last time I saw this level of disinformation and propaganda was the Corbyn days.
A stark reminder about the UK MSM. In 2015 Mr Whittingdale replaced the BBC board with compliant types. The Telegraph, Mail, S#n, GB news, the Express & Spectator are riven with client journalists. All #Brexit fanatics, all desperately lying and misleading to keep to narrative.
It all, in the end, comes back to #Brexit. The accurately predicted outcomes are staring us all in the face. The dam is full to bursting. Unelected 'commentators' do Brexiteers bidding. Misleading folk on a huge scale. The UK media *is* a disgrace. For the exact opposite reasons
the #BackBoris cultists and bots would have you believe. It's showdown time. I urge all opposition activists and parties to work together to save the next twenty years of our politics, and our democracy.
1) Having been on the radio yesterday & challenged with the nonsense that Boris is not delivering priorities, I thought I’d spent some time this morning with just a small taste of why that accusation is just false.

WE CAN'T LOSE BORIS. Having watched his excellent press conference in India it amazes me how focused he is on what matters while people are tearing him apart back home. He's a man; he isn't perfect, but he is the best Prime Minister in decades. #BackBoris #BackBorisJohnson
Do I detect a little cynicism from the left?
India could help fill the technical skills void. The EU only wanted to send us fruit pickers 🙄

1/4 I'm not sure about this misspelled "#BackBorris" hashtag. The mispelling could be deliberate as Twitter's algorithm rewards new hashtags and the correct #BackBoris may not register anymore as a trend. Example: if you type the correct hashtag in Twitter, you'll see 2,040
2/4 tweets in the last hour. That's a lot, especially if you extrapolate it over time. Meanwhile, the #BackBorris (incorrect spelling) hashtag only appeared around 5,000 in total. What's more, according to my analysis it started trending after only 320 tweets today
3/4 If you look at the graph, you can see that on #BackBorris (incorrect spelling) there is a low but consistent level of activity between 00:31 and 17:00. At 17:05 we get the first tweet saying #BackBorris is trending, but only after a small pickup in tweeting. Assuming
The Tories will always claim #NHSNotforSale but their politics and policies reveal the truth. A systematic fragmentation and privatisation of our service, against the will of the people. Don't #BackBoris or #VoteConservative unless you understand "privatisation by stealth" 🧵1/15
"Privatisation by stealth" is intentionally opaque because the Tories know they can't win votes while admitting the privatisation agenda. This agenda is set out in Conservative MP Oliver Letwin's paper "Britain's Biggest Enterprise ideas for radical reform of the NHS" 2/15
The document I reference is here: cps.org.uk/files/reports/…
The title itself should ring alarm bells, most British people do not see healthcare as an enterprise but as a public system, we proudly contribute to provide a safety net for sick when they need it most. 3/15

A vote for Corbyn is a vote for a hung Parliament, which would only deliver more gridlock, more delay, and two more chaotic referendums.

Level playing field provisions in the future are now radically different.
The political declaration merely says there will be provisions in the EU-UK FTA to deal with labour, environment, competition and state aids.
These disciplines are *common in all FTAs*.

This deal is now fundamentally different: an FTA is the final end state not a customs union in goods, which is where the previous deal would have taken us.
No more backstop tying the UK into a CU with the EU forever, and no more building from a single customs territory: 👍

I’m proud of the positive, straight campaign I ran. I’ve had a few weeks to reflect on what our country needs now. And after a busy week travelling to Israel & Turkey with Home Office responsibilities, I’ve come back home to my own ballot paper. I will be voting for Boris. (1/6)
I made the case for being a party that unites our country, protects our precious Union, embraces modern Britain, and brings Conservative values to new audiences. I’ve spoken to Boris and believe he shares this vision wholeheartedly. (2/6)
I have huge respect for Jeremy, but I believe Boris is better placed to deliver what we need to do at this critical time. (3/6)
In terms of GDP, the UK leaving the EU is the equivalent of Austria, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Czech Republic, Romania, Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Cyprus and Malta all leaving in one go. In…
…terms of proportionate economic loss, the impact on the EU of the UK leaving is greater than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland leaving the UK. We are 4 times the size of Switzerland which has no issues holding its own with the EU. We are twice the size of EFTA…
…who managed to negotiate the EEA. We are about the same size as the ASEAN, an economic bloc with 650 million people. We’re the sixth biggest economy in the world. In terms of our geopolitical capabilities we have been deemed the second most powerful…
@BorisJohnson will deliver our exit from the EU on 31st October.
As the draft Withdrawal Agreement will not pass, the EU will need to decide whether it wants to accept Boris' offer of zero tariff trade to continue for the time being after Brexit on the 31st October. 1/7

This could apply while we negotiate a future agreement to cover more than just goods, such as Donald Tusk offered us in March 2018. An agreement on such a stopgap offer which would cover all goods would be entirely legal to be notified under the terms of Article 24 of GATT. 2/7
This means its terms would not have to be offered to all other WTO members, as the Bank of England and others have confirmed, and importantly would not need ratification by EU member states so could be concluded very quickly. 3/7

Do they really think that ‘delivering brexit’ as a Hallowe’en gift will save their seats or their party?
Why would Leave voters choose a pale imitation of UKIP when they can have the rebranded real thing?
Why would Remain voters ever vote Tory again?
