1. we "didn't lay the ground properly"
No you deliberately chose not only not to get the OBR to assess the mini budget
BUT YOU DID NOT EVEN PRESENT IT TO FUCKING CABINET

2. It is a coup
Errr
No
It isn't
A reminder - previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson when asked about a literal insurrection said:
"I have no knowledge of what happened"

@aveek18 @zabrams @JamesEvansMS @JoCoxFoundation @EducationUoM @Matt_VickersMP Prof Pam Qualter starts us off - "loneliness is a subjective experience", she says, which occurs when we lack good quality relationships with others. "We're not talking about social isolation", though loneliness has the same effects on physical & mental health
@aveek18 @zabrams @JamesEvansMS @JoCoxFoundation @EducationUoM @Matt_VickersMP #COVID19 has put loneliness on the political agenda, says Prof Qualter (@EducationUoM), particularly for children and young people. Surprisingly, we didn't see a large increase in loneliness during the pandemic - but we are seeing an increase in social anxiety post-lockdown
Social media is suggesting I was “attacked” as I tried to get into #CPC2022. I was not. I was directed wrongly right into the middle of the protest. I think the protesters thought I was deliberately provoking them. But no one touched me. Just shouted abuse. They were just loud!
One protester tried to blow a plastic horn in my ear while i was walking. I asked him to stop, but he refused. So I grabbed his horn and threw it away. I think he was more shocked than me!
So for clarity, I was not pushed or shoved, nor did I fall over. As far as I could see, the crowd was noisy but self disciplined. We live in a democracy and people have every right to protest.
