Watching #Newsnight and @angelaeagle is spot on, this isn't just about Cameron, current ministers must be investigated
Away from the allegations, the interesting thing about this story is how it 'bubbled under' for a while and a lot of people (and the government) didn't think it would breal through the noise, now it has they are on the back foot and are desperately ...
trying to pin it on 'the old guy' and one bad company
For me it is bigger than that and strikes at the heart of how this government has been operating
Johnson will be delighted with a report that says "Cameron did wrong, he broke the rules"
He can then stand up in the HoC and tell us how he would never behave like that, how he will tighten the rules for former Ministers and then chuckle as everyone shouts 'Cameron is a bad guy'

The Labour Party: A thread
Starmer has been leader for just over a year and in true Labour Party tradition members (and supporters) are getting restless, well if you look at Twitter they are!
We need to go back to December 2019 to start the discussion
It wasn’t simply a crushing election defeat, that was the result of something much worse, the loss of trust, our own rejection of our most recent achievements in government and the turning of a political party into a social club or debating society
Starmer (or whoever replaced Corbyn) was inheriting a hollowed out mess posing as a political party
Community organisers replacing election organisers, rallies more important that voter ID and contact
But away from the organisational issues we had done a ‘reverse Cameron’

The local flower shop and a bar have teamed up and tbh I quite like the look
Away from that and from a male perspective the barbers shops were very busy and a lot of smiling men with very short hair were wandering down the high street
The only other busy shop was the bakers and that has been open throughout
Personally I am happy to report that M&S are still selling #HotCrossBuns

The reason Cameron became leader of the Conservative Party - a short thread
The Tory brand was damaged
As someone famous said they were seen as ‘the nasty party’
Three election defeats and trying three different brands of ‘nastiness’ they were still failing
Cameron arrives and says ‘we need to change, we are nasty, we apologise for being nasty, for the nasty things we’ve done, this is a new era of conservatism’
He announced support for stuff both he and the wider Conservative party had rejected previously
The party listened
They wanted to be back in government, they still opposed almost everything the Labour government was doing
Losing a 4th election and Labour winning a 4th term along with a growing Lib Dem parliamentary party would’ve been a disaster and probably another decade out of power
