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…

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/…

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…

@mrjamesob
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!

@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.

@mrjamesob
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…

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.

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.

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.

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

@mrjamesob
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.

@mrjamesob
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.
74
@mrjamesob
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.

Great question from Theresa May. Why haven't Labour built any new nuclear power plants over the last twelve years? Zinger.
