So the main hall at #conservativeconference is a ghost town…

But the pro-European @euromove fringe event is packed to the rafters.

The times they are a’changing.
And overflowing, apparently. Should’ve turned up earlier. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Great that some media is there to catch it.

A pro-European event at Conservative Conference absolutely storming it.

Follow @euromove
And here they are - Tory big beasts David Gauke & Michael Heseltine…

…on the pro-European @euromove stage at #conservativeconference, telling a packed room of Tories just how screwed up Brexit has been for the UK.

👏👏👏 Follow @euromove & share.
And here’s that packed room again at #ConservativePartyconference, listening to David Gauke & Michael Heseltine on a pro- European platform, hosted by @euromove.

Make sure you’re following @euromove for more.
I’m told person who just turned up to the pro-European event, and decided to leave as he couldn't get in, said:

"you should have swapped with the event in the main hall, I think there's more here than in there"

Complete sea-change at
#ConservativePartyconference
Nope - Conservatives, that’s not where “OPPORTUNITY” lies…

Leave the main hall, go to the packed pro-European @euromove fringe event, learn about the Single Market, Erasmus, Horizon, Galileo and European Union membership…

…and then join @euromove.

THREAD:

The Met consistently refused to investigate Patygate despite overwhelming evidence.

They then launched an inquiry days before Sue Gray report release, delaying the report at key moment.

They issue 1 fine to Johnson for the least serious incident & include Sunak.

1/
Johnson tells friends that he's been assured he'll get no more fines (reported on 24/4 - so Johnson knows outcome *one month* before Met announce).

Met delay issuing fines to Downing St during local elections.

Met issue fines for Nov event, but not Johnson despite photos.

2/
When full set of fines come out, it is clearly disproportionately aimed at junior staff, protecting those leaders responsible for the culture and also present at the events.

--- I wouldn't want to make accusations about any individuals in Met, as you don't know who did what.

MASSIVE respect to this woman. She’s been arrested already of course.

What a hero! 😲
Apparently her name is Marina Ovsyannikova and she’s an editor at Russia’s Channel One.

Will post more as I findvout.

No10 says the Queen has approved knighthood for ex education secretary Gavin Williamson.

At a time when we’re trying to tell the world we’re not corrupt?!

I can only assume this is because Sir Gavin was once given the book of buried bodies & this sordid gift keeps him quiet. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Fascinating thing is this:

When Gavin Williamson was fired for being useless, he was also wildly unpopular in the Tory Party.

So for someone that loathed within the Tories to gain such an honour at this sensitive time…

…indicates he knows something very significant. Image
To use the honours system to repress information that is very likely to be of national significance is, in my view, borderline treasonous.

One thing that gnaws at me is that, unlike science, politics is not becoming incrementally better.

Despite all the positive potential latent in humanity... our politics seems not to go forwards, but rather to tap a cyclical churn of cynicism, farce, corruption & ineptitude.
Now obviously, this is impressionistic and there are many dimensions of "progress" (diversity of inclusion, depth of knowledge base, effectiveness of self-correction mechanisms...)

...but I was mainly thinking of quality of information & thought offered to the public.
It just strikes me that if you look at the nature of political arguments and fall-outs in Ancient Greece and Rome - the worst and the best... we've still got all the worst tropes kicking around, but there's a ridiculous dearth of the better political philosophical thinking.

Actually… this appears to be the origin:
I saw it on Instagram. Copied it across. Tried to find its origin… but only found the above tweet Elizabeth refers to.

Looks like this was actually the origin of this version - so have now retweeted that tweet. 👍
