I've no doubt the Tories are in GE mode now. They've ordered their client journos and social media trolls to kick the usual scapegoats who are down but to do it on speed - refugees and the homeless, kids sniffing a bit of N2O, trans people and drag artists. #TorySadists
The attacks on Starmer by CCHQ and the 'I'm madder than yow' ERG/UKIP/BNP Tory back benchers are whipping up the frothing rabid right-wingers who on being thrown this red meat are behaving like fox-hounds as they leap on it and tear it apart #toryfascists
The anti social behaviour nonsense and making those who the Tories classify as 'offenders' wear silly clothing in a nasty attempt humiliate them is no more than modern day equivalent of putting people in the Stocks or Pillory

This is the level of lunacy reached by fanatical NI unionists like @JamieBrysonCPNI. First he tweets a story claiming that Jeffrey Donaldson has been refused an invitation to the coronation as head of the DUP and that this is a conspiracy by King Charles
Then Bryson concedes the story is not true
Then Bryson tries to argue that it was all a devlish plan by the UUP

We've just had the 20th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war that killed anywhere between 650k and 1m people depending on which sources you use. We now of course know that 1/4
The war's aims were that the US secure oil supplies and make a great deal of money for companies in the US industrial-military complex.

The Vice President Dick Cheney was the driving force behind the war and manipulated a compliant and unintelligent President 2/4
We also now know that Saddam and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, Al-Quaeda nor had the WMD capabilities that US and UK intelligence said they had.

Blair's motivation is mysterious. Personally I believe he was caught up in the grandeur and self-agrandisement of the time 3/4

I'm genuinely interested in the psychology of @conservatives. What is it makes you think these things are right and proper?
1. Allowing Water companies to pump sewage into rivers and seas for the next 15 years while allowing bonuses and dividends to executives and shareholders?
2. Taking inflation-level pay rises for yourself as MPs have done for 13 years, but refusing them for key workers?
3. Whipping up hate for people seeking sanctuary in our country while trying to worm one's way out of humanitarian treaties like the ECHR and UNHCR?
4. Disenfranchising up to 2m people by insisting that the six convictions/cautions that followed the 2019 GE mean that our elections are not safe?
5. Criminalising people for simply attending a peaceful protest?
