Helen Whately for England manager!

Dear HR Managers, Would you hire any of the below when looking at their CV and seeing they have an inability to hold down a job: ⚫️ Liz Truss: 45 Days ⚫️ Vaughan Gething: 4 Months ⚫️ Rishi Sunak: Less than 2yrs Outside of politics, we in the real world can’t afford to just up sticks and resign.

It isn’t a British summer until you get a flood alert… in July 🙄😂

So he’s not staying for the Kings Speech on Wednesday. The first which he would be able to attend in person as a member. That’s not very patriotic in my view.

I see he’s bored with being an MP already.

*pulls away from kissing* How do you feel about Swifties?

Political violence is disgusting. I remember feeling physically sick when here in the UK we learned the news of Jo Cox and Sir David Amess. You defeat political ideology with debate not bullets. You cannot kill an idea only expose it to daylight in the heat of an electoral contest.

Wilson and Starmer both had careers in the Civil Service before entering politics - something I learned from the biography of Wilson by Nick Thomas-Symonds Can we keep the trend alive tomorrow that Labour Governments = England winning news.sky.com/story/politi...

Political football: Is Sir Keir Starmer following Harold Wilson's lead?news.sky.com The Labour leader says he wants to "mark the occasion" if England win, prompting speculation about an extra bank holiday and an invitation to Downing Street for the team.

Since winning the election LAST WEEK the government have: 🏥 Ended the Junior Doctors strike 🌍 Met world leaders at NATO summit. 🦟 Banned bee killing pesticides 💦 Imposed tighter rules on water companies 🏢 Parliament working on Fridays 🏡 Set housing targets 💨 Lifted the ban on onshore wind
