After the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the striking nurses and railway workers, the small boats, and the bad weather in Morocco, we now found the REAL cause of inflation in this country. Nothing to do with incompetence or greed. Nothing to do with #Brexit opportunities 🙄

When a TV presenter and 'journalist' is shamelessly suggesting that she prefers to be a human trafficker and belittles an activist teenager in such a way just because she disagrees with her activism, there is something seriously wrong with our media #modernslavery @JuliaHB1

Scary 'opinion' title @WSJ. The article content is thankfully slightly more reasonable!
#SupplyChain collapse is a good thing? "It was high time that Britain returned to the good old days when farmers sold their milk to the village shop" says Tory MP @chrisloder in a 'reverse progress' to the past approach. Next: the good old days of abacus? google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thelo…

It is not exactly Genetically Modified foods that will now be allowed to reach our tables as another #Brexit benefit. Just #GeneEdited or 'GM-light' ones, which of course pause absolutely no risks whatsoever 🤦🏻‍♂️ #hospitality #catering #riskmanagement bbc.com/news/science-environ…
Unacceptable customer service @TalkTalk. One hour international call asking them to email my most recent bill for an ID proof needed abroad from where I have no access to Myaccount. My request will be processed in 24-48 hours. Too bad by then I will no longer be their customer

I don't know how to take this. From an 'interim yellow card' a trafficker is now given a '10-year yellow card'? Next time (if caught) it's a 'red' and prison for 5 years? Interesting development but not quite a detterent for #modernslavery #HumanTrafficking #labourexploitation

It appears that @joymorrissey believes that the voters' opinion is of value only when she asks for their vote and only if they agree with the party and the government. All other views are just from contemptible "armchair critics".
The Foreign Secretary has worked tirelessly since this crisis began. That is irrelevant to the armchair and commons bench critics who predictably work tirelessly to apportion blame. Perhaps they could start with The Taliban?
The UK & US have still not even asked EU for mutual recognition. It's probably because 'they need us more than we need them'? #COVID19 #brexit #riskmanagement lesoir.be/390238/article/202…
The EU has now established mutual vax/test certificate recognition with 3 additional non-EU countries: Turkey, Ukraine & N Macedonia. The UK & US have still not even asked EU for mutual recognition. Nor has New York State which now has a digital pass. lesoir.be/390238/article/202…
