She knew it earlier than most of us and paid a high price for pointing it out. She’s back now and not for a cheap ‚told you so‘. But to warn us again. That it’s late. But not too late. Rarely say sthg is a must read, but this is.👇 @carolecadwalla⁩

The hardest thing to accept is the cruelty. People saw what it was. And they voted for it anyway

Really is incredible to think that the Tories announced compensation for victims of two scandals, then did nothing to arrange the money. Labour has had to put aside a massive chunk of the money they secured yesterday to fulfil a promise the previous government made.

Some people seem to have forgotten how bad a president Trump was, so I made a list of the 100 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency, in no particular order. Please share and add anything I missed. 🧵

When we complained about the 'think' tank behind Liz Truss breaking charity law the Charity Commission raced to reject our complaint. Then we made it very clear we would sue - and now it has caved and (belatedly) agreed to investigate the IEA.

I know people are leaving Twitter, but the algorithms also seem to be mysteriously (or not so mysteriously) working against some of us. I know that some followers of mine have somehow automatically unfollowed me (without them doing that), and that my posts are hidden or buried. I

I've just read – officially skim-read – 733 pages of Boris Johnson's memoir, Unleashed. Here's a mini-thread of a few thoughts. But as a tl;dr – it's long, often rambling, packed with filler, and shows a complete lack of self-awareness or self-reflection. 1/

🧵/ This is, I believe, unprecedented in the history of UK medicine. 28 eminent UK doctors have written publicly to @LaylaMoran, the new chair of @CommonsHealth, to report something nothing less than scandalous. Read their letter here (1/n) 👇 https://t.co/qh5iZj7Xnj

So here’s a tale… I noticed Charlotte Owen, the junior aide Boris Johnson controversially ennobled, has a new gig with - shock! - Boris Johnson. But that’s only the start. There’s also uranium, Iran, Steve Bannon..& a LOT of qs My piece for @ObserverUK https://t.co/KQk2TsnedZ

NEW: UK snubs EU over rejoining Erasmus exchange scheme… …but Politico finds a majority of the public support rejoining it, with only 15% against. What is this government thinking? Where’s the “change”?

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage is the highest-earning MP as Parliament's Register of Financial Interests is published

My followers have dropped off again. Usually I find that this is Twitter glitch (automatic, deliberate?) and people have been kicked off from following me without their knowledge. No idea why. If you can help me reach them by RTing that would be amazing!

32 days to go. Do you live in North East Somerset? Do you know someone who lives in North East Somerset? Do you know someone who knows someone who lives in North East Somerset? Share this film with them

Fascinating and alarming in equal measure. This in 4 charts is the danger of the ‘Foxification’ of British TV. On ITV, Sky and BBC you have more or less same voting intention of viewers; on GBNews 60% back Reform. So people are tuning in to be affirmed - not informed. Bad.
