James O'Brien thought of you.

Almost two years ago. Anyone remember how this turned out?

🚨The Government paid The Phoenix Partnership, owned by Tory Donor Frank Hester another £3.6million in January.

'Who thinks Boris Johnson read the Brexit deal he signed?'
'The whole rhetoric of 'oven ready' and 'get Brexit done'...'

＠mrjamesob responds to a report which states the new border checks coming at the end of April will affect £21bn worth of agricultural imports.

Naga Munchetty: You said the waiting lists have been reduced... & you say some parts of the country are doing well... where?

Victoria Atkins: Some trusts are meeting & exceeding the 80% target..

NM: Could you name them?

VA: No

It would not be surprising if the result was close to 40-30, perhaps a bit narrower. Cons will try to squeeze Reform 7% while Khan appealing to the Green/LibDem 18% by saying result could be in doubt
