How many brilliant, hard-working, long-standing public servants deserving of recognition must Liz Truss have come across during her two decades in politics? Overlooked them all for honours in favour of a tiny handful of political aides and donors. Says it all.
To those who say politics doesn't matter, or who think that it doesn't matter who you vote for, 'everyone's the same', watch this video of Gordon Brown list the last Labour government's achievements. Labour in power transforms the lives of those most in need.
Honours lists no longer even bother to include some people who have gone beyond everything to make Britain better It is now just a reward scheme for Tory donors Time to scrap it Cronyism claims as at least seven Tory donors included on honours list theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/d…
Liz Truss's resignation honours list makes the best case I think I've ever seen for the abolition of the House of Lords and a complete overhaul of the honours system. Every single person on her list should be utterly ashamed to have said yes frankly. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Imagine giving someone a knighthood for selling crap beer, microwaved food and putting the toilets in another postcode? And then imagine NOT giving a knighthood to a man who has raised MILLIONS for a hideous terminal illness affecting his best friend. Welcome to the UK. 🤬
What kind of fucking country makes gammon extraordinaire Tim Martin, the man who refused to pay his staff properly during the covid crisis, a knight of the fucking realm but Kevin Sinfield only a CBE?? The Tories continue to embarrass us daily. #ToriesOut541 #NewYearsHonours
Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrows get a CBE yet Wetherspoons guy gets a knighthood. What an insult to all those good, decent, worthy candidates. #NewYearsHonours
Resignation honours lists are a patent nonsense, especially for a PM who lasted just over a month. They’ve only existed since 1895 and they should be scrapped. I’m glad @Keir_Starmer has said he wouldn’t issue one.
If ever a reason were needed for the abolition of the honours list…
You keep thinking the Mail can’t get any more embarrassing and unreal. And day after day, it does.

@GeorgeMonbiot saying it like it is. Now you know why it took so long to let George on to #BBCQT, and why climate crisis deniers like Farage and the same Tufton Street lobbyists, appear so frequently. I can remember, a long time back, when George appeared on TV a lot more. 1/2

I dream of a government who puts this much energy in to the stuff that affects the actual lives of UK citizens, imagine this much bun fighting in Tory party on housing, crime or social care. What an utter waste the last 5 years have been.
Make no mistake. The gutting of Newsnight is not just one of those things. It's part and parcel of the right's systematic infiltration and intimidation of the BBC (not to mention the assaults on Channel 4), and it is both undemocratic and rotten to the core. #StopTheRot
Listening to BBC manager on #r4today saying #Newsnight has to go in order to secure ‘a better return on investment’ - but ‘the brand’ will remain. It sounded like an episode of W1A - serious news journalists will be weeping.
Newsnight’s fate is an act of vandalism, but the principal villain is successive Conservative governments. A lot is at stake at the next election.

Can somebody just explain to me why MPs get subsidised food? They don't pay for transport or parking. They get expenses, generally misappropriated to pay for their excessive property bills. But why, just why do they get subsidised food while others are hungry?
BBC giving Tice a platform on Kuenssberg after giving Oakeshott a platform on BBCQT. They do know they can invite people from other families and who are not fascist don't they?
Just saw this online - how true!!
Why is Tice on our tv screens so often? Compare and contrast to the amount of time given to the Green Party, which actually does have an MP.
The tories want to 'Stop the Boats' There's f*cking big boat they want to stop first with Michelle Mone and her husband on board. Stopped and the owners arrested for stealing millions in a PPE fraud -anyone bring that up on #BBCQuestionTime

You keep thinking the Mail can’t get any more embarrassing and unreal. And day after day, it does.
Esther McVey is "launching investigations into poor use of taxpayers money."* Funnily enough, she won't be looking at the billions they gave to their pals for, often dodgy, PPE.
The whole Mone saga, the contracts, the lies, the entitlement and the fake remorse, make me angry beyond belief. Every aspect of it points back to successive Tory PMs.
I cannot believe the BBC has flown Kuenssberg out to do a puff piece on a potential massive fraud case. Michelle Mone should be facing questions from the police, not this government stooge. What the hell has happened to the BBC?
Liz Truss - PM for a few weeks, bankrupts the UK and takes entire ex-PM pension of £125K pa index linked for life. Gordon Brown was PM for 3 years, helped save the World from a financial meltdown and decided to forego the ex-PM pension for life. #GTTO #GeneralElectionN0W
