Truss's claim that companies untroubled by windfall taxes will instead invest heavily in infrastructure will comes as quite a shock to water companies.

You can either 'grow the economy' or impose economic sanctions on yourself. I wonder how long it will take Tories to realise that you can't do both.

You can't be completely sure of these things until a bit of time has passed & you find out for sure how deeply it's embedded itself in your psyche, but I currently believe The Sandman to be the finest thing I have ever watched on television. Thank you so much, @neilhimself & co.

People at the hustings clapped whenever she said 'deliver'. That's the beginning, middle & end of this strategy. twitter.com/trussliz/statu…

For a long time now, performing poorly in a government role has been no obstacle to promotion. Quite the opposite in fact. In ordinary times this would concern everybody. In Brexit Britain, however, ‘loyalty’ & ‘complicity’ are the only qualities that matter to Prime Ministers.

Imagine not being 'talented' enough to get a job in this Cabinet...

One of the UK's most tireless & desperate paid abusers of Meghan asks the various US weirdos & racists who would choose to follow him on here to endorse his prejudice & bigotry then pretends it's some sort of win when they do. No prizes for guessing what 'newspaper' he works for. twitter.com/richardaeden/s…

@richardaeden Look it up, I'm not Google. But I'll retweet your question in case other people can be arsed to help you out. The answers might distract you from peddling shite about Meghan for a bit. But I doubt it.

The last Cabinet contained only sycophants prepared to ignore Johnson's epic unsuitability for high office. The new one will contain only sycophants prepared to ignore Johnson's epic unsuitability for high office who haven't criticised or upset Liz Truss. It's a narrowing field!

Far from perfect but an effective, committed & much-needed advocate for military veterans. I wonder how many other Tories who held their noses while hoping Johnson would quickly pass are going to consider their political futures now Truss has taken up the reins of ridiculousness. twitter.com/JohnnyMercerUK…

Over a third of his own administration resigned in disgust at his character & conduct. He was propelled to power by bare-faced lies & kept there by sycophancy & shameless self-interest. His legacy is a country on its knees. I’m not sure ‘consequential’ is *quite* the right word. twitter.com/lewis_goodall/…

I literally get paid to attract listeners from the BBC but defending it from attacks by increasingly desperate right-wing politicians who’ve already been busted for dodgy behaviour is a patriotic duty. twitter.com/LBC/status/156…

To be fair to 'Lord' Frost, there really is *no* Cabinet position commensurate with his talents.

@mrjamesob
I'm increasingly convinced that these weird new TV channels set up by non-dom billionaires & staffed by various misfits & rejects are designed to create a media ecosystem in which right-wing politicians can pretend they're facing scrutiny while avoiding proper journalists.

@mrjamesob
It’s only Melanie Phillips but these things always start with outlying weirdos on the Murdoch/Mail/Barclay payroll: “an even more explosive issue is the number of *legal* immigrants.” These ghouls have torched the country & now need some new scapegoats. Step forward foreigners…

Time to start wondering which campaign pledge Truss will abandon first.
