I'll not be watching #bbcqt because it features right-wing "think tank" Policy Exchange's Trevor Philips, who in 2016 said Muslims are 'not like us' & 'we should just accept they will never integrate', & the right-wing Spectator's Kate Andrews, formerly of #TuftonStreet's IEA. 
Tommy Robinson loved Trevor Phillips's "Muslims aren't like us" comment, & much of Britain’s "news" media embraced & amplified this divisive crap.
Imagine the response from the national print & broadcast media had ANY public figure said "Jews aren't like us".

Just a reminder that Molly Kingsley of UsforThem and Together Declaration quotes Naomi Wolf and recommends her supporters read Wolf's latest book of crackpot conspiracy theories
Yesterday Together Declaration had an event at #CPC22

People can claim multiple different types of benefits depending on their circumstances, included in the figures for "benefits claimants" are those receiving the state pension. This whole, "people choose to be on benefits" line at #CPC22 ignores people's needs. 1/
Claiming that everyone who is on benefits is "workshy" ignores the disabled, the elderly, those with childcare needs, as well as the drop in claimants for benefits such as employment allowance. Further cuts to benefits will harm vulnerable people, with no real world benefit. 2/
You see, what happens is that when you reduce benefits you force people into more precarious positions. Among other things that has long-term negative effects on their physical and mental health. 3/

About to hear @SteveBakerHW @BimAfolami views on “whether we can afford net zero”. Stay tuned #cpc22
Steve cites research from Net Zero Watch and says we can’t afford net zero in the short term because of the energy crisis but in the long term it’s “water under the bridge”. Experts may say that we can’t do it in long term without short term action.
He says @CSkidmoreUK review “isn’t going to be a Steve Baker review” as he’s “pro all the green stuff” so people shouldn’t be scared of it

@KevinASchofield @RobinMillarMP @SymaCullasy @OfficialUoM @RichardALJones @DodsEvents Lord Willetts kicks off our panel, by praising the work of @OfficialUoM as an example of how UK universities can promote R&D, and economic opportunities. He says we should "be proud of and embrace our universities"
@KevinASchofield @RobinMillarMP @SymaCullasy @OfficialUoM @RichardALJones @DodsEvents "In my view, universities are crucial anchor institutions", says Lord Willetts, though he notes that more can be done - he says a well-tailored, investable proposition for domestic & international investors is needed, which brings together strengths in research and students
Grant Shapps says we have to end our reliance on fossil fuels and that renewables and net zero are the future - that Britain can be the top place to manufacture low carbon transport if the political will is there #cpc22
Chris Skidmore says “we can never take the energy transition for granted” which is why he is keeping net zero on the agenda and accepted Truss offer to review it to make it more “pro business” #cpc22
“We run the risk of falling behind in the global race” he says, pointing out that other countries are prioritising the green transition #cpc22
IEA chief Mark Littlewood introduces their first panel at Conservative Party conference, where the Chief Secretary to the Treasury Chris Philp is due to appear.

The best bits of the mini budget got "drowned out by media noise and "market turbulence," says the Chief Secretary to the Treasury Chris Philp, as he gets drowned out by the sound of protesters outside.
I’m kicking off my Tory conference at a @CapX / @CPSThinkTank fringe event titled: ‘Can the Tories win the next election?’. Polling guru @jamesjohnson252 says that in recent days “the title of this panel has become easier to answer.”
.@jamesjohnson252 says that up until the Truss/Kwarteng statement the Tories still had a decent shot of winning the next general election. But something “very big” and “drastic” has happened since then: the Tory party has rapidly lost its reputation for economic competence
.@jamesjohnson252 says “it’s very hard to see how” the Tories stay in power at the next general election
Michael Gove tells @ChoppersPodcast that Truss/Kwarteng income tax cuts are ‘not wise or necessary at this time’.
Doesn’t rule out voting against them but suggests he would like them removed before it comes to the Commons
Michael Gove says Liz Truss is ‘no way’ like a Tory Jeremy Corbyn, adds that ex-Labour leader is an ‘eccentric fringe figure with unsavoury friends and bonkers views’.
