HOW TO DEFEAT BORIS: all other parties should stand down in Uxbridge & South Ruislip at the next election, and let me take him down. That way he won't just lose, he'll lose in the way he deserves....

Surely only accepting an older persons bus pass, and not a student bus or rail pass is pure #Ageism? 🤬 #VoterID #ToryAgeism #ToryChaos #Disenfranchisement Voter ID: ‘It’s Far Worse than Any US State’ – Byline Times

Voter ID is to stop the young and oppressed from voting. Heres why the older generation vote is so important to the #ToryBullies
The government have finally published the list of ID they will allow you to use to vote - six of the Government-accepted IDs are specifically targeted at older people, while almost none are aimed at younger people.

Genuine question. Why is #Hancock sacked for taking a paid job abroad during parliament, but #BorisJohnson isn’t despite being a repeat offender? #awol #ToryCorruption #Corruption

Interesting question, is Penny Mourdant the only MP to have served as a minister under all five Tory PMs? Assuming she gets a role today Grant Shapps is close, but didn't serve under May, and Gove comes close, but didn't serve under Truss

An interesting comment on how the #tory government pushed it that step too far for even their own: In Britain today it seems your suffering only counts if you have a mortgage

A wonderful thread attempting to explain the #torychaos today over #Fracking . #trussterfuck #electionnow
I appreciate not everyone is a massive nerd. So I'm going to attempt to explain what just happened in parliament. Because it is BEYOND batshit levels of foot-shooting by Team Truss. /1

a) why would she be sacked for this when nobody else has, but b) why mention this is this isn't the reason she's been sacked? The Tories are a very odd bunch.

Countless ministers in the Johnson government stayed in office for far less than using personal emails for government matters. And since we've seen no indication from Truss she's going to crack down harder on this, why would this be in the resignation letter?

This letter is so odd. She's first admitting she broke ministerial rules by using a personal email account to discuss confidential government matters, but then claiming she is "concerned about the direction of government".
