Feels like only yesterday he was slagging off the King for criticising Vladimir Putin. 'Patriotism', Farage-style. twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/s…

I would appreciate it if Center Parcs hold off any u-turns until at least 11am tomorrow, ideally 1pm. Thank you.

And it is *always* the kind of men who do this sort of thing without even noticing who rail against the very idea that 'unconscious bias' even exists. twitter.com/davidyelland/s…

Downing Street has advised London commuters to work from home this week. Rees-Mogg is going to need a *lot* of those pissy post-it notes.

This stinks. And trying to silence Femi like this will only make things worse. When you’re in a ‘Tommy Robinson’-shaped hole, stop digging. twitter.com/Femi_Sorry/sta…

We all mourn in different ways, of course, but defending a man who misled the Queen about a matter of such constitutional importance is at best bizarre, at worst insulting to her memory. I understand why people balk so violently at being reminded of this. But I won’t be stopping. twitter.com/LBC/status/156…

John Redwood is trending because he has said something sensible for the first time in his life.

A perfectly-judged & proudly woke speech from King Charles.
717
Perfect Horatio quote at the end there from the new King. It's spoken with such similar love & sorrow at the end of Hamlet. Always brings a tear to the eye.
718
The terror of being trolled by morally bankrupt newspaper editors has prompted many organisations & institutions to cancel events that should clearly be going ahead. This tyranny of bullies who routinely whine about ‘cancel culture’ & profess their ‘patriotism’ insults us all.
719
No matter how flowery your language or forgetful your fans, you can either respect the monarchy & revere the late Queen or you can send Jacob Rees-Mogg to Balmoral to mislead her about the unlawful proroguing of her Parliament. You clearly & categorically can’t do both.

Starmer's completely destroyed Truss today, and nobody's been more helpful to him than Kwasi Kwarteng. Incredible. Even her braindead 2019-intake backbenchers will have noticed.
721
Great question from Theresa May. Why haven't Labour built any new nuclear power plants over the last twelve years? Zinger.
722
Very clever framing from Starmer. These companies are making gross profits from Putin's war & Truss is protecting them. 'Disaster capitalism' at its most obnoxious.
723
Surely there's no getting past the political decision to protect the epic, unprecedented profits of the energy companies & make voters pick up the bill? I confess I don't understand Truss's calculation here, even with client journalists preparing to cheer it to the rafters.
724
For everyone wondering, Truss chose to accept interventions instead of taking questions from the house *after* making the statement. I doubt she'll do it again. Absolute dog's dinner.

It’s all so undignified. twitter.com/ionewells/stat…
