Johnson latest bluster
- 6 months ago supply and demand would have stabilised
- then Putin started the war
- no reference to inflationary pressures which were happening before the war
- the speech references Ukraine, Putin, the Queen frequently to confuse search engines later

@chrisriddell50 My first thought when I saw this today was whether your colleague @MartinRowson might regard these events as, 'a storm in a fur cup'!
...evidently, there are agendas but, some are too quick to impose their interpretation on events - they hear but don't LISTEN!

"In the last few weeks, the benefits to Russia from its sabre-rattling must have far exceeded the Kremlin’s expectations. It has produced a traffic jam of presidents, prime minister and ministers making their way to Moscow."
"They may be issuing warnings against a Russian invasion of Ukraine, but the reality is that for the first time since 1991 Russia is once again being treated as a superpower to be feared, cultivated and never disregarded."
@Haggis_UK As always...#LiarJohnson muddies water with obfuscation and evasion...aimed to confuse/brainwash members of the public including MPs of ALL parties - political, if any clarification is needed!
#OfficeGSBrown "this a moral issue" is root of the crisis at heart of UK Government!

@Haggis_UK With all due respect, does @CrispinBlunt seek to trivialise and deflect attention from the central rot at heart of UK Government under direction of #LiarJohnson?
@Haggis_UK @CrispinBlunt Investigations into breaches of covid regulations, resulting from #LiarJohnson's absence of moral leadership are complex insofar as they involve different regulations in place at time of each transgression; carrying different penalties.
Some may incur financial penalties only.

The underlying sinophobia - even among progressive, educated Brits - is galling. The same people tweeting hashtags like #NotMyPM, demanding nuance and exemption from the UK's behaviour internationally, will habitually say things like "I wouldn't believe anything the Chinese say".
I report what I hear from a doctor friend over there and people react as if I'm amplifying Xi Jinping. The underlying notion being, it's impossible for a country with an aggressively muscular state and extensive experience of epidemics to get things right - they must be lying.
Also, contradictory orientalist tropes of sneakiness AND obedience. 'The Chinese' do as they're told (cf. Johnson's 'freedom-loving' Brits) and simultaneously all lie to any Westerner, to make their country look better than it is. All 1.4 billion of them do this, apparently. OOF.
Wow. @BorisJohnson in today’s #PMQs called @Keir_Starmer ‘s question about why Johnson sat on the #RussiaReport for so long, when it stated Russia was such an immediate threat, ‘absurd’.
Absurd.
#NotMyPM
Absurd.
#NotMyPM
Mike drop: when @BorisJohnson tries to avoid answering #RussiaReport questioning by saying @Keir_Starmer ’sat on his hands’ re Russia, Starmers replies that he was one of those involved in ‘prosecuting’ Russia in the #Litvinenko case.
“I spent 5yrs as Director of Public Prosecutions” says @Keir_Starmer (after @BorisJohnson suggests Starmer could have done more -in opposition-re Russia) “working on live operations with security services, so I’m not going to take lectures from this PM about national security’
PM kau orang (#NotMyPM) umum Mak Cik Kiah dapat duit RM4,464 tapi bila Mak Cik Kiah balik rumah, dia buat kira-kira, sebenarnya dia cuma dapat RM864 sahaja.

1.Pertama, kerajaan tak keluarkan RM250B. Jumlah sebenar kerajaan belanjakan tak sampai pun 10%, iaitu hanya RM22bil sahaja. Selebihnya duit rakyat sendiri seperti:
a.Tangguh bayar bank (RM100b – duit rakyat)
b.Keluar duit sendiri dari EPF (RM 40B – duit rakyat)
c.Tangguhan sumbangan ke EPF dan HRDF utk 6 bulan. Tapi selepas tu kena bayar semua yang tertangguh (RM6B – duit rakyat) dan juga jaminan pinjaman dari Danajamin (RM50B).

Scott Morrison appeals to "patriotism" of big business. The "business sector" does not do patriotism; it does profit and loss. 15 of 20 top companies here are majority US owned. Where does that shareholder loyalty lie? With the stars and stripes? Not the Coalition?
He calls on “Team Australia” to keep on full-time, part-time and casual workers through "the crisis." Wait, wasn't Tony Onion the last Captain of Team Australia? If #notmyPM is recycling Abbott-era slogans, we're in real trouble. (Pic: #memestream 2014)
“Whenever possible, support [workers.] Full-time, part-time, casual...with paid leave if they need to take time off during the course of the virus." #notmyPM advocates "radical" Labor and union-style IR reforms. Is he feverish?
Things the media won't ask Morrison.
1: Why did your govt pay a Cayman Island entity set up by Taylor $80 million for imaginary water?
2: Why haven't you released the Parkinson report into the Sussan Ley scandal?
3: Why do all the police treat the coalition differently?

4: Why were the Campion jobs swept under the carpet? Defrauding the Commonwealth is a crime.
5: How do you explain 2,030 deaths attributed to #robodebt recipients?
6: How can you pass laws ignoring fundamental tenets of our judicial system? The presumption of innocence.

.@toryboypierce just declared on his @LBC show that busineses, not civil servants, are the only ones with real experience negotiating trade deals. Nope Andrew: business lobbies governments, govt 'civil servants' do the negotiating

@toryboypierce @LBC One @LBC caller, Simon (.@toryboypierce agreeing) just said we all need to buy 'the power of positive thinking' for Christmas to change how we see Brexit.

We just need to repair our wounds & turn ourselves into a slick & better organised group of protest. This is much bigger than Brexit. We let right wing populism & nationalism take over our country (or rather the conned Tory voters did) but we won’t rest until we have it back! 2/5
This is the deal👉
We form the #WeAreThe54Percent group still fighting Brexit (even once it’s on its way - for we know it will never be “done”), fighting for electoral reform, saving our democracy & our NHS & our green policies and stamping out racism!
Do you want to join? 3/5

A reminder - setting deadlines in legislation that can't move when you don't have a plan.

#Gove #NotMyPM #unequalsgovernment #fbpe
Everyone, including the PMs aide ⏬, Farage, etc. that Article 50 without a plan is what caused the mess.

No one in the Government, and no MP in the Tory party has negotiatiated a Trade Agreement.
Ever.
Nor have our Civil Servants
Amazing confidence for one of the most complicated trade deals ever to need to be completed.
I thought humility was the boris word?

Our deadline is self imposed and has therefore an inbuilt assumption that the EU share our priorities.
In fact #BorisJohnson even has the gall to say it will help.
Big flaw, the EU have some far more interesting deals to do. GoldieOldie from steve⏬

@AndrewScheer, this is so disrespectful to all those that fought for our freedom. You may disagree, but you uphold & honour the decisions of the government. I'm appalled to see a potential Prime Minister acting so disgracefully as an MP in the HoC. #canpoli
@AndrewScheer, Kindergarteners know not to sit and chat during the National Anthem, why don't you? #ThisSaysSoMuch #NotMyPM
@AndrewScheer They are actually singing the old version if you listen.
Much Twitter disappointment with @Peston fawning on #NotMyPM #Johnson. We must write him off until fall of J. They have Siamese tendencies: Balliol, Brussels, @spectator, @Telegraph. He’ll get 1st dibs on a few propaganda titbits, but u can forget objective reporting. @itvnews 1/
Remarkable how little known r these connections between #Peston & #Johnson. But it explains why Peston goes weak at the knees & offers his tummy when #Johnson winks at him. I’m sure @Peston wakes up determined 2b objective, but that resolve doesn’t make it 2 his first espresso.2/

A short thread on the Irish Backstop that you might like to raise with your MP.

Johnson has said that he wants the backstop removed from the Withdrawal Agreement, to be replaced by "Alternative Arrangements" to be agreed & implemented as part of the negotiations on our future relationship, & implemented during the transition period or shortly after.

If the future relationship is along the lines of Norway+, favoured by some Brexiters, the UK would remain in the SM & CU, so the backstop would never be triggered, & would therefore not be an issue.

How wonderful it would be if tomorrow, we could wake up to the news that three or four Conservative MPs have walked out.
#NotMyPM revokes article 50 and admits publicly that the Referendum was Advisory and Article 50 should not have been triggered. /2
