@wizbates Notice she didn't resign when he robbed the pensioners.

@wizbates It’s telling that Labour Ministers will resign over foreign aid that goes to foreign farmers and countries who have space programs and nuclear weapons but not over the assault on our farmers pensioners and waspi women. Their interests don’t lie with Britain.

@wizbates Haha who cares!

@wizbates @AnnelieseDodds has a moral compass 👏 not like the Prime Minister Keir Starmer👎

@wizbates Interesting one

@wizbates With the treat of Russia it’s a question of priorities

@wizbates Interesting one

@wizbates It takes courage to stand by one's principles. I hope Anneliese finds peace in their decision.

@wizbates The rise in defence should go into producing the UK’s own weapons and defence equipment. It shouldn’t go to paying US weapons manufacturers and supporting their companies and economy.

@wizbates Dodds' resignation highlights serious concerns about prioritizing defence over international aid. This shift in resource allocation warrants scrutiny.
