Well well well well well. This is worth a thread and no mistake.
How did the Foreign Office manage to spend £4,333.30 on two trips to the hairdresser? Why has their spending via government procurement cards shot up 45% since last September? And why won’t they answer these and dozens more related questions? Read all about it in my letter:

👀 Kwasi Kwarteng's Wikipedia page has been edited to remove all references to his role in the Owen Paterson scandal. The IP address of the user who changed the page... corresponds to the House of Commons network. Kwarteng is widely expected to be Chancellor under Liz Truss.

I’ve seen a confidential document from Lynton Crosby’s lobbying firm which advises Boris Johnson to ride roughshod over every convention and standard of propriety to pack the House of Lords. [Thread] https://t.co/iB23JdHqpJ

I hope a Labour govt won't be this blind to the normal people going about their lives in the backdrop of this utter arse-licking, backstabbing, pole-climbing nonsense that is going on. Disillusioned doesn't even scratch the surface... #ToryLeadershipContest #ToryShambles

In Germany commuters can now buy a monthly travel ticket for trains, buses & trams for €9 (£7.70), through Deutsche Bahn - their publicly owned railway company. Germans can travel their country, every day, for just a few quid. Our privatised system is a disaster by comparison.
