FACT: London receives far less government funding for its public transport than other comparable global cities.
Singapore: 79%
NYC: 62%
Paris: 62%
London: 28%
By underfunding TfL, the Government are putting our city and country's economic recovery at risk.

246 Conservative MPs just voted to protect one of their own after an independent cross-party committee found he repeatedly broke lobbying rules.
When the rules didn’t suit them, they simply tore up the rules. There’s only one word for it: corruption.
Imagine using the tragic death of Sir David Amess to make political points on either side of the spectrum.
Give your head a wobble and let his friends and family grieve in peace.

Is it possible to be more wrong than Hannan? His answer to why Fr was excluded from AUSUK - because Macron took a hard line on Brexit 🤦🏽

Actually forgot about this one...
Last year Ms Dorries accused @LivEchonews of publishing "fake news" - a claim debunked by the Echo's political editor @LiamThorpECHO after he referred her to her own comments in Hansard

So we have an even bigger deficit with the EU now. Who could have ever predicted this 🤔
EUs trade surplus with UK first 7 months 2021, ie post Brexit trade deal, was €82.1bn, notably up from same months in 2020, €56.7bn
Driven by 17.1% or €16bn fall in UK exports to EU.
Trade into EU from every other major partner up.
EU exports to UK grew by 6.2%, or €9bn..

Thanks for your letter @amandamilling
I’ll take a look when you reply to the letters I sent you on 3 and 11 August regarding your Co-Chair Ben Elliot, on 23 August on the Leaders’ Group and on 24 August on the PM charging taxpayers to fly to Teeside.
Reminders below 🧵
Leader of Labour’s biggest donor has doubled down on her pledge to break the law.
Labour have repeatedly stayed silent. Will @UKLabour condemn these views & cease taking Unite’s money if they use these tactics?
My letter to @AnnelieseDodds 👇
