I just spent a depressing but interesting spell in the land of Tory Twitter. Here’s what I found.

Tagging a few of the people I follow and whose analysis I admire. Please consider this. /1

@johnharris1969 @rafaelbehr @chrisgreybrexit @andrewPRlevi @alexhallhall @snellarthur
The people I follow write about policy flip-flops and govt weakness, incidents of proven lying and a wobbling economy, as if all these things mean that a reckoning is coming.

But Tory supporters are busy. Not building a defence but preparing for something more aggressive./2
They are trying to get Boris to withdraw his resignation.

They are pouring out hatred and bile about Sunak and Truss. /3

I don't care, tbh. What they've put us through to get this stage, makes me boil with anger.

Women have had to beg for our basic, hard won rights, whilst they've looked silently on as left wing misogynist abused us & robbed women of their livelihoods. #NeverLabour
Every other issue is more important than women to the current iteration of @UKLabour. Even the handmaidens they've appointed who got to power on all women shortlists, now want to throw women in shelters & refuges under the bus.

They are NOT my kin.
We should never have been put in this position where we are fighting for our basic rights in the 21st century, given the LONG history of oppression & marginalization of women.

I will never forgive them. The betrayal is too deep.

As Labour keep banging on about about Conservatives i feel it’s only fair to have impartial reporting. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Gosh, bot networks are out in force today pushing #NeverLabour #BackBoris ... always remember, you are likely to be talking to a bot or someone trapped and being radicalised within a network. They are usually not aware that most of their active "friends" have an agenda ...
... or are actually bots. So be kind, be mindful of this. There can be good people trapped and radicalised by this stuff, see the whole #DefundBBC saga.

If you need to engage then listen first, be kind, be caring and don't push them further into these networks.
Wow ... bot networks (and people captured in these networks) have gone into overdrive this morning pumping out the idea that strikers and their supporters are capitalist hating marxists. Last time I saw this level of disinformation and propaganda was the Corbyn days.

1) Now a 2nd thread - help for businesses.
Cutting tax on businesses so that they can invest more through our ‘Super Deduction’.
For the next 2 years, when businesses invest, they can reduce their tax bill by 25p for every £1 invested - worth £25 billion.
2) The Employment Allowance cuts employers’ national insurance tax bills by increasing the employment allowance even further to £5,000 – that’s a new £1,000 tax cut for 500k small businesses.
3) largest single-year cut to business rates in 30 years.

Last Thurs night my brother, a farmer in Wales, had a phone call from a neighbour saying there were suspicious lights in one of his fields. He went to look and found 8 Indian men catching his sheep ready to kill in the field (Halal). He challenged them but they had knives 1/2
and told him they would use them if he didn’t back off, which he did. He rang the Police with the Reg no. They stopped them in Shrewsbury. They were from London. If his neighbour hadn’t rang him he would have found just sheep fleeces in his fields 2/3
On Friday morning and copious amounts of blood. We are 3rd generation farmers, this would have been unheard of in my Father’s Day. What on Earth have we done to our once wonderful Country 😡#immigration #BanHalal #PritiPatel #Boris #SadiqKhan #NeverLabour

Today @thetimes published a story about @UKLabour antisemitism based on access to "documents leaked from within the heart of Labour’s disciplinary machine [that] tell a different story from the party’s public line." The story is behind the paywall so I've copy pasted much of it
The confidential files give the most detailed portrait to date of Labour’s failure to stamp out rampant anti-semitism in the party. They have been passed on by whistleblowers to expose what they claim to be “Corbyn’s lies”. thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/r…
According to the files, Corbyn’s reforms to take swift action against offenders remain so controversial within the party that its own lawyers have privately warned they are ill thought through and possibly illegal. Few of the much-trumpeted changes have been enacted.
