NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

@GregHands Correct. And I understand that you probably need to kid yourself that these ghastly scenes have nothing to do with a gawky, misfiring ex-MP who is now taking a bit of much needed time for himself. But just in case you missed it, Greg, the two biggest factors in what we're seeing

Confirmation today that Brexit considerations were high on Sunak’s mind as he left early. He stayed for the “ British “ celebrations but the rest, organised by the Europhile French, was marked “ optional”. He left. Where europhobia leads.

A warning for anyone standing in the background while Sunak pleads for people to vote for him - if you don't look enthusiastic about what he's saying someone on his team will get a text telling them to block you from view... https://t.co/nELrlOocPi

I understand that a number of Conservative MPs are looking to remove Rishi Sunak as leader of the Conservative Party and replace him with Kieran McKenna. #niche

Both the greatest strength and weakness of the Conservative party is its lack of ideological coherence. Take Danny Kruger, who represents the "conservative" extreme. A true traditionalist he apparently believes the Enlightenment was a step too far... 1/

Among all the new forms of Conservatism springing up in the run up to the next election, Kruger's New Conservatives appear to be the most religious in their "holy war against the Left"

Dear 🇬🇧, @RishiSunak & @Jeremy_Hunt promised they would dramatically increase med school spots but have funded only 350 extra for next year. So with our current staff haemorrhage, we’ll still be losing docs and won’t break even. Nothing they say is trustworthy. Nothing. #SOSNHS

⏬@JohnnyMercerUK slings abuse AGAIN I pointed out he'd said he would "end veterans' homelessness" by end 2023 & yet it's RISEN by 14% HIs childish response claims 🔷I tweet as I've a "sh*t lonely life" 🔷"No-one normal cares" 🔷I'm "mad" 🔷+ puking emojis Tory ministers eh?
@carolvorders @FredThomasUK No he’s not. You are both deliberately misleading people. For clicks. Because that makes your shit lonely life feel better. No-one normal really cares about your view. They think you’re mad. I’m changing veterans lives. What I came into politics to do. Keep going. 🤮🤮🤮

I am complaining to the BBC directly-this should not be allowed to happen-I thought this matter was still under investigation therefore silence should be maintained-she should not be allowed to use a public service this way-if you agree please repost & tag BBC services in @BBC

Apologies, but this is going to be a lengthy thread on @BBCNewsnight #Newsnight. The truly terrible decision to axe 34 of its staff, cut it by 10 mins, cut its original reporting and investigations, and to change its format to 'studio-based debate' format. 1/22

There’s an elephant in the room here… the counter-protests that you mention in passing are racists, fascists and football hooligans, partly whipped up by your incendiary rhetoric over the past 10 days. Especially your claim that the Cenotaph was under threat - which it wasn’t 🐘
Our brave police officers deserve the thanks of every decent citizen for their professionalism in the face of violence and aggression from protesters and counter protesters in London yesterday. That multiple officers were injured doing their duty is an outrage. 1/3
