Confirmed. The Tories are now going to either elect their third female leader and Prime Minister or Britain’s first black Prime Minister. Labour, meanwhile, cling desperately to their white men from north London.

Poor Ed. Lib Dems flip flop so much, they barely know what they do support. Or don’t.

The triumph of ethnic-minority Tories. https://t.co/Uie0izejWb A very perceptive article from @spectator. No other party could do or is doing this.

If you had said, even ten years ago, that there was no chance of a white male cabinet minister becoming the next Conservative leader, you would have been greeted with incredulity. Yet it is so today....

#conservativeleadership candidates: 50% women, 50% ethnic minority in first round. First vote leaves 57% women, 43% ethnic minority. @conservatives demonstrate strong beliefs in equality and opportunity. In fact, only one white man will go through to the next stage.

The other day I was told that racism in 2022 is the same as it was in the 1960s- just ‘less crude’. They cannot be seeing the same things I see. 🤪

As usual, the Council waffles around the subject, promising lots but never actually delivering anything. If we had £1 for every Lib Dem platitude, it would have been sorted by now.

So lost are some on the British left --Jolyon Maugham, Nadine White, etc-- that they need to be reminded that to argue minority ethnic Conservatives have betrayed their own identity is its own form of racism https://t.co/8ZnHSd4DAB

The suggestion that ethnic minority Tories have betrayed their identity is its own form of racism.

There are now more people from minority backgrounds running to lead Britain's Conservative Party than have ever run to lead Labour, sat in Labour Cabinet, been Labour minister in the Lords, or a Labour MEP. Diversity is not everything but this is awkward for the identitarian left

We’re just calling out hypocrisy. Just like we called out racism in @cheltlibdems. Oddly enough, all the Lib Dem councillors went quiet when we did.
@CheltCon @PeterJeffries3 @JulianTooke Of all the things your lot have been up to during the recent crisis, I didn't think I’d see you defending an MP swearing at protestors including a woman clutching a photo of her dead husband. Happy to ask the people of Cheltenham if they agree if you like? I'm off out in a bit.

The thin-skinned Lib Dem candidate is always here to chat. Unless you ask him difficult questions. He flip-flops like that. 🤣🤣🤣

Achievement after achievement listed in @AlexChalkChelt’s latest leaflet, both for Cheltenham and for the country.

Great work to address some of the anti social behaviour that sadly comes with big events. Working with partners on ideas should yield results.

Classic Lib Dem hypocrisy. Their right hand never knows what the left is doing! 🤣🤣🤣

It’s been a week since @cheltlibdems sent a letter to someone. That’s all they can do. Send letters. To anyone. No ideas. No vision. No record of achievement. No plan. Just protest letters. What a waste of a vote. 🤷♀️

* Doesn’t apply to racism in @cheltlibdems.
Happy #pridemonth2022! 🏳️🌈 This Pride, we're proud to celebrate achievements of LGBT+ people in the UK and beyond, but we must also fight for true equality and stand against hatred and discrimination wherever it arises. We cannot let hard-fought progress slide backwards.

A QC and a professor of law embellish a misleading headline about a speech on social mobility. The article is about recognising social mobility more widely than in “elite pathways”, not discouraging people from aiming high. Twitter is a degrading medium for this sort of thing

Racism fears force town councillor to defect to rival group. Racism is a very serious matter. @cheltlibdems are still blighted by accusations and questions. That’s why they’re silent on the subject. #nastyparty

Is Cllr Wendy Flynn’s defection to the Greens a vote of no confidence in @cheltlibdems’ leadership?
