@NickKristof @MilkenInstitute You destroyed democracy you are a war criminal. The fact that you are saying the people who was elected in charge to get think done can't get things done. Just listening to the will of the public is democracy undermining them isn't

@NickKristof @MilkenInstitute God forbid you would have been allowed to do any more than you did already. You should be in prison.

@NickKristof @MilkenInstitute TB - Don't be so humble - you were so instrumental and really efficient in finding WMDs in Iraq and killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis for that crime.

If the Home Minister is ready and willing to provide answers, he should come to the House. The House session has been underway for 17-18 days, yet he has not attended even a single day... If pellet guns have been fired at children in the capital, it is a matter of great shame for us..."

Here’s Tony Blair wanging on about the need for identity cards to curb illegal migration when he was Prime Minister. He’s been doing it ever since and it’s morphed into digital ID. Tony Blair and digital ID aren’t the solution. It’s part of the problem.

During the G20 & COP update today, I returned the Prime Minister to his meeting with President Xi. I've been in contact with many Hong Kong refugees here, who fled Hong Kong, and they were worried about the Prime Minister’s failure to condemn the arrests & sentences of the pro-democracy 45 and to call for their release, and that of Jimmy Lai. I do not believe the Prime Minister really answered the question properly. I asked if the Prime Minister condemned the Chinese Government for their arrest and incarceration of the 45 peaceful democracy campaigners, and would call for them to release the campaigners and Jimmy Lai immediately, because they are in breach of the Sino-British agreement? This time the Prime Minister answered...

The actions of the Government of Finland Finnish Government in targeting and detaining the Prime Minister days before the declaration of independence, has clearly shown that they participated in a transnational repression against Hon Prime Minister Simon Ekpa . The Prime Minister is unshakable with resilience and solidly standing his grounds against any form of transnational repression, in an attempt to silence his advocacy for the fundamental freedom of the citizens of the United States of Biafra.

I don't blame the Internet. I credit Tony Blair and his team for the now inevitable collapse of Western democracy. Blair was the first Prime Minister to consider and intentionally use out and out lying to the electorate as a legitimate political tool to further his political ambitions. Of course back then it was cunningly framed as innocent "spin" and you employed "spin doctors" to sell the lies and keep the Press on message.

Someone needs to take responsibility for the appointment of Lord Mandelson as ambassador. The Prime Minister is hiding behind others whilst his government sinks in sleaze. It’s time for Keir Starmer to come clean on the Mandelson-Epstein files.
