This is the meat of it. Unthinkable in ‘normal’ times that anyone in this position could remain as Downing Street chief of staff. twitter.com/Gabriel_Pogrun…

This thread is pretty comprehensive if you can’t get past the paywall. We spent all of Johnson’s tenure describing events in government that would have had enormous consequences in ‘normal’ times. This scoop will provide an early indication of how similar Truss’s will be… twitter.com/Gabriel_Pogrun…

This magnificent thread, in which I’m very proud to have a walk-on part, cuts to the heart of a very British malaise. Our society depends not just on the repression of emotion from the top down but upon a dangerous *reverence* for that repression. We prize it even as it hurts us. twitter.com/suzannezeedyk/…

There's one reason why it's exclusively Brexiters claiming that the epic pageantry of the Queen's passing somehow negates evidence that we're in economic & social decline: admitting the existence & extent of the problems the UK faces would involve admitting the main cause of them

Superb & shocking journalism. Helpfully encapsulated in this thread. And it hasn’t happened by accident. The media & political machinery dedicated to delivering this inequality (NB in countries where Rupert Murdoch concentrates his power) is immense. twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/s…

This is a harrowing but illuminating thread. Enormous love to Ben & his family. Attitudes to online harm are in need of serious remedy but this sentence is a big step in the right direction. twitter.com/benhewis/statu…

I did indeed tell them both to fuck off & would do so again in a heartbeat. I also told Tice that I wasn’t remotely interested in hearing about how much he enjoys my radio show. The rest, as you’d expect from an actual drunk with the criminal record to prove it, is bollocks. twitter.com/MediaGuido/sta…

It's been obvious throughout that Charles could afford his son this privilege & it's right that he has. A shame he has not extended it to the funeral itself. twitter.com/itvnews/status…

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…
