He thinks more young people should behave as he does. Not work for £10.85 ph but avoid work (he rarely goes to the Commons or Clacton) for £22,000 ph. He wants to make the UK more feudal and to be a rich squire or a lord and have people pull forelocks to him. No #secondjobs for MPs.

He won't get in. People know that Farage, Johnson and Cummings cocked up our economy with Brexit lies. They know that he thought Truss's budget was wonderful. People know he's only in it for the money. They will see through him. #Optimism #Hope

No more votes than before, but a landslide victory. 🗳️Which just goes to show that we need PR.

Why are we stuck in the 20th century? Technology advances but design doesn't - we build mainly old-fashioned homes 🏘️and old-fashioned cars 🚗, when we could surely come up with 21st-century designs. We need a Karl von Dreis. Ideas.💡Imagination.

Emperor Charles V called England a minnow, for 400 years it proved it wasn't but in 2016 a minority voted us back to being a minnow and the voters most upset at finding this makes them easy prey are those who voted for minnow status. So weirdly, they vote for Reform and less-than-minnow status.

We do need more buses on the 580 route. It's no good having so few buses 🚌between Settle and Skipton and having to hang around for hours ⏳in the heat 🥵, rain 🌧️or cold ❄️waiting for a bus 🚌.

As #Hannah says, why are MPs drinking on the job? When I was a councillor in Leeds over 20 years ago we managed to stop the ridiculous historic practice of subsidising the whips and Lord Mayor to drink alcohol before council meetings. Come on #Parliament, chop chop, catch up!
