Someone on Twitter summed up ‘The week in Tory’ & it’s brutal

The week in Tory, a thread:

1 Accidentally made it illegal to drive to Wales

2 Made it easier to see other people's parents than your own

3 Issued new advice that was officially ignored by Scotland, Wales, NI, and the councils of Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle.

4 Admitted there WOULD be a border down the Irish Sea, after a year claiming there wouldn't

5 Said its ok for a child-minder to come into contact with your kids, as long as you "open a window"

6 Published advice that you can car-share, as long as the driver "doesn't look left"

OK, this kinda blew up, so while you're here…

Landmines still kill. I know, you'd forgotten. But millions of mines are still out there.

Please help @MAGsaveslives, the charity that actually removes mines from the ground in former warzones. Ta!https://t.co/t5mCDQXl55
