It's always been blindingly obvious that Meghan was a victim of racism from within the Royal household. There may be other reasons for refusing to believe this but I can only think of one: racism. In fact, the louder the accusations of lying, the more racist the accuser must be.

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.

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…

The failure/refusal of either Truss or Kwarteng to address what the Bank of England did yesterday, with some success, is just incredible. The central bank intervened to limit the damage being done by government policy & the government continues to insist that the policy is great.

Remarkable that the disappearance of any US trade deal over the horizon is both relief *and* disaster. Relief because Brexity clowns would have signed us up to any old toot while claiming a victory. Disaster because the hole they've blown in our international trade remains huge.

“The way a government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.”
Tony Benn didn’t get everything right but he was spot on with this one… twitter.com/matt_dathan/st…

But most of these 'anti-growth' people are the ones who keep pointing out how stupid it was to withdraw from the largest free market on the planet. It's just deeply, deeply weird to ignore the measurable & obvious damage this has done, is doing & will continue to do to 'growth'. twitter.com/nadhimzahawi/s…

I know it’s ‘fascinating’ to track every twist & turn of the Tories’ latest psychodrama but, when you step back from ringside, it’s all proof of how utterly screwed they/we are. The country is in deep crisis & most of their MPs are behaving like it’s an episode of Strictly. 1/2

The UK media is *full* of people who love Braverman's fascistic depiction of refugees & feel 'politically' closer to the man who fire-bombed the processing centre than they do to the people in it. They'll dress it up as 'legitimate concerns', of course, but they're all complicit.

I see @afneil, publisher of the rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit Spectator, is wondering in the rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit Daily Mail why the latest rabidly right-wing, pro-Brexit government is such an almighty disaster… 🤔

Hunt is now undoing all of the promises that Truss made to become leader *and then kept*. Her position is completely & obviously unsustainable.

@mrjamesob
Truss’s ‘reputation’ & her standing among party members rested entirely on her willingness to trumpet paper thin ‘deals’ & EU rollovers as glorious Brexity triumphs. The outbreak of reality has come very early in her premiership & will almost certainly persist for its duration.

Many people outside Liverpool still struggle to appreciate the true magnitude of this horrific scandal or the unbelievably despicable conduct of @kelvmackenzie, who even rejected his own colleagues' pleas to pull this disgusting front page.

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.
