And in an absolute ocean of nonsense, dishonesty & weapons grade incompetence, Jacob Rees-Mogg's claim that reaction to the mini-budget has nothing to do with the mini-budget is bobbing about like a top-hatted turd.

While the speed of self-destruction is remarkable, Truss as PM isn't an aberration or accident. It's an inevitable & logical consequence of the trashing of truth & norms that the Conservative Party embraced for Brexit. And they're at least one more leader from acknowledging this.

It's hard to find the words to describe just how awful Truss is but one key difference between her & Johnson is his ability to apply a veneer of plausibility to the twaddle they both talk.

There was always going to come a point where bleating inanely about 'BBC impartiality', 'Remainers' or 'metropolitan elites' would cease to camouflage the intellectual vacuum at the core of the con. Conmen like Rees-Mogg & co were, of course, too stupid to understand even that. twitter.com/PickardJE/stat…

The material risk to U.K. financial stability is, literally, the government. The tribalism & weaponised ignorance that brought us directly from Brexit to this must surely be close to collapsing under the weight of its own ‘achievements’. twitter.com/LBC/status/157…

Reaction to Nicola Sturgeon's claim that she 'detests the Tories' suggests that all the free speech pearl-clutchers might have a point after all. Problem is, they're now clutching their pearls about Nicola Sturgeon exercising her free speech. Perplexing.
