#Conservative MPs & peers hoping for their Party's fortunes to be rescued by continuing to cling to #Sunak, or for personal favours from #Sunak, really need to reacquaint themselves with the tale of the frog & the scorpion.
1/ cont. Image
As we know, the frog offers the scorpion a lift over a raging river. The scorpion accepts, but half way across, stings the frog, dooming both in the process.

The scorpion cannot help but be himself.

2/ cont. Image
So it is with #Sunak. He is unable to behave any differently to that which is his inner nature: to sting (fatally) anyone who uncovers that truth by lifting the rock he hides under. We've had him all wrong: he's not a snake, he's a scorpion.

We have cause to be grateful to #Sunak, yes grateful. For he has done what no one else, not #Boris' friends, allies or supporters, could.
He has finally woken the sleeping giant.

1/cont.
#Sunak has been a very silly boy. Even after everything #Sunak did to him, #Boris was content to sit quietly in the backbenches as a loyal #Conservative. But tonight, there was a turning point, the letter to the Privileges Committee. Finally #Boris had had enough.

2/cont
The trigger was the Honours List, what #Boris might well have seen as closure: recognition of those who had been loyal to him and good servants to the nation. But all #Sunak could do was see #Boris in the light of his own behaviour and personality.

#Gamma radiation in #Khmelnytsky could actually indicate that a #DirtyBomb was stored in the warehouses.

Why #Kwarteng should have sacked the #Governor of the Bank of England.

/thread
Kwasi #Kwarteng would not have realised, when he first announced his intention to be a tax-cutting, pro-growth, fiscally-responsible #Chancellor that he had immediately set in motion the daggers that would be thrust in his back 38 days later.
/1
The Bank of England, guardian of the nation’s wealth and cornerstone of its economic management originally started life as a private company, funded by subscription under Royal Charter in 1694, as a means to finance the public purse, depleted by various wars.

1/4 🧵PM #Sunak - This is a crap answer. The notion that #F16’s / 4th Gen fighters are too advanced for this war against #Russia is ludicrous. Here’s why:

@MriyaReport @BalticSnowTiger @YAmzallagh
2/4 For nearly a decade, DC, London and other NATO capitals validated the need for next Gen fighters (#F35) on the tech advanced #S300/#S400 air defense threat - both present in the #Ukraine war.
3/4 hence, if politicians remained consistent, they’d argue the #F16 and other 4th Gen fighters are NOT tech advanced enough for the #Ukraine theater with S300/400, as it’s the same argument they used to spend billions to fund the #LightningII.

Yesterday @EmmanuelMacron and @sanchezcastejon signed a Friendship Treaty between 🇫🇷 and 🇪🇸

The 🇫🇷 President will then host 🇩🇪 @Bundeskanzler Scholz on Sunday, before welcoming 🇬🇧 PM @RishiSunak on March 10th

What is the strategic significance of this busy bilateral agenda?🧵 Image
Each of these summits has its own bilateral rationale. But they are also illustrative of 🇫🇷 multilayered approach of collective security alongside #NATO and the🇪🇺 #EU, and of President Macron’s willingness to reconnect the dots between main Western Europe capitals. 2/16
With Spain, the Friendship Treaty raises the relation to the highest level, on par with 🇩🇪 and 🇮🇹. It confirms 🇪🇸 centrality, as it hosted the last NATO Summit, will chair the next EU Council and host the third European Political Community #EPC summit in the second half of 2023

La Grande-Bretagne va livrer 30 canons automoteurs (1) à chenilles AS-90 de 155mm aux forces armées ukrainiennes et la formation des équipages devrait commencer sous peu/L'UK voit une fenêtre d'opportunité, la Russie connaissant des problèmes de moral des troupes et d'arsenaux.
#CanonsAS90 (2): Rishi #Sunak a chargé le Secrétaire UK à la Défense d'unir les alliés militaires pour assurer "un soutien stratégique et coordonné maximal" .
Ben Wallace (Dégense) ira en Estonie et en Allemagne.
James Cleverly (Affaires Etrangères) ira aux US et au Canada.
#CanonsAS90 (3): Ces ACS ont été produits par Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering de 1992 à 1995. Au total, l'armée UK en a reçu 179 unités pour 6 régiments d'artillerie. En 2015, 117 étaient encore en service dans trois régiments. L'exploitation est prévue jusqu'en 2032.

#sunak & Co aren't even subtle about what they're doing, they think it's in the bag because they live in the bubble.

1. PARTY: They will render impotent, the Conservative Post petition - Sunak is already creating his own chosen member stooges to head it off at Conference
2. ECONOMY: #sunak said "profound economic crisis" setting the crisis in motion - even though that's patently not the case! This was supported by the useless OBR but worse, the Bank of England.
3. DISTRATION PR: They're currently sending up loads of kites - the Steve Barclay announcement about NHS penpushers this morning - which are clearly just distractions.

@GuidoFawkes 1. Why was the Minister of State for the Home Office, a department responsible for national security, not herself aware of the #cybersecurity risks which attend e-mails.
2. Why was #Braverman not #briefed accordingly upon taking up the role? Or if she was, why take the risk?
3. Why would she even think asking someone to delete an email was sensible? Any business person would know that:

#RishiSunak was at the heart of the #HerdImmunityScandal

Every epidemiologist, virologist & scientist made clear that - without a vaccine - #HerdImmunity was an “outcome” never a “strategy”

On 21/9/20, Sunak & Johnson skipped a crucial SAGE meeting to meet two lockdown sceptics
At the Sept meeting that Sunak skipped, SAGE had advised a circuit-breaker lockdown

Scientists had also warned against #Sunak's Eat Out to Help Out scheme which is closely linked to rise in #COViD19 cases & likely helped trigger a rise in deaths among ethnic minority populations
After #Sunak & Johnson were briefed by the anti-lockdown sceptics, they ignored SAGE’s advice to:

1. introduce a circuit-breaker lockdown

2. close pubs, restaurants & gyms

3. stop households mixing in each other’s homes

4. stop face-to-face teaching at universities & colleges

Interesting fact re incumbent PM Sunak - he founded a hedge fund firm called Theleme Partners.

The Abbey of Theleme is a ref to Francois Rabelais, the hilarious genius who parodied contemporary Renaissance life. The abbey was unlike any other & links to the Hellfire Clubs...🧵 Francis Dashwood painted as...
The Thélème motto was "do what thou wilt" (FAY CE QVE VOVDRAS), a corruption of earlier Christian doctrine. In the abbey this meant that the monks & nuns admitted should do as they please - by virtue of their natural grace, anything they would want to do would be God approved
This natural grace was that they were the "best" of society, the most perfect, well-bread, well-educated, rich, and hawt.

The structure of the abbey was based around a hexagonal shape, just like the Francis Dashwood’s c 18th mausoleum at West Wycombe, above the Hellfire Caves Drawing of the hexagon-shap...

1 soutien inattendu et majeur dans la course pour devenir leader Tory et PM en Grande Bretagne: Kemi Badenoch, étoile montante du conservatisme culturel droitier, issue de l'immigration nigériane, vote Rishi #Sunak. L'ébauche d'un tout sauf #BorisJohnson? thetimes.co.uk/article/kemi-b…
2. Le ralliement de #Badenoch à #Sunak semble indiquer qu'1 éventuel duel avec #BorisJohnson- toujours pas candidat- ne se fera pas sur 1 clivage modérés/radicaux chez les conservateurs mais bien plus sur le degré d'adhésion ou de rejet de la personnalité et du style de l'ex PM.
3. #Badenoch, qui a étonnamment brillé lors de 1a précédente course au #leadership en juillet sans se prononcer alors entre #Sunak et #Truss, joue aussi clairement le coup d'après #BorisJohnson s'il est écarté. Très jeune (42 ans), elle peut mener l'aile droite Tory à l'avenir...
