Liz Truss wished upon a monkey's paw to be Prime Minister. It's the only possible explanation.

I see now why they came after me & my modest little radio show with big shot lawyers & an obvious determination to silence questioning & criticism: they rightly thought they were on the brink of getting into power & making the worship of unaccountable wealth government policy.

Better late than never but it’s obviously absurd that this perspective has not been prominently included in every single conversation about the British economy for the last six years. Absolutely ridiculous that the BBC tried to somehow ‘move on’ in the hope of appeasing idiots. twitter.com/BBCPolitics/st…

The most fundamental problem with platforming these secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as 'think tanks' is that we have absolutely no way of knowing whose bidding this identikit herbert is doing here. Just stop booking them. They have literally no right to your attention. twitter.com/SkyNews/status…

One horror of all Tory attempts to ‘clamp down’ on immigration is that the pit into which they throw all the red meat is bottomless. Whatever they do & however vile they are, racist demagogues will always demand more. Because racism is fundamentally irrational & deeply dishonest.

It’s impossible to convey the profundity of the moment in therapy when you make contact with the betrayed, damaged &/or brutalised child you used to be. Grown men, still desperately denying their own vulnerabilities & pain, attacking Harry for talking about it are truly pitiable.

Liz Truss's farewell speech was an attempted lap of honour after seven weeks of unprecedented self-inflicted catastrophe. It was, in many ways, the most perfect Brexit moment yet.

Nadien Dorries busted for using Parliamentary privilege to tell lies about Channel 4. She did the same to me, of course, on more than one occasion. twitter.com/PickardJE/stat…

Doesn't matter whether you're flogging counterfeit goods or counterfeit journalism, PayPal obviously has the right to shut you down.

The more exhausted I get by the inevitable madness, the more tempted I am to put "I told you so" on an audio loop and watch @reallorraine in the morning.

I thought the 'people are furious that a a couple held hands' narrative was at least a bit exaggerated. WTF is wrong with these people? twitter.com/Sapphireblues3…

Feels very different now from when I used to deal with loads of these callers. The difference, I suppose, between fighting a fire that’s still raging & surveying the charred wreckage of a beautiful old building with a bloke who insists he prefers it that way. twitter.com/LBC/status/158…

The question of whether or not he 'boasted' about it isn't even debatable. He categorically didn't. But it's too late for all the professionally furious commentators & their pocket military experts to beat a retreat. Even if they wanted to... twitter.com/LBC/status/161…

A week after praising Kwarteng’s budget in the strongest terms, the Daily Mail today waits until page *eight* before reporting on how it’s all going. Even the Daily Star has it on the front.
