One thing I will not miss when it is gone is Rees-Mogg's patrician drawl. His vision for the country is quite the opposite of freedom promised for almost everyone
A thread with perhaps useful context
A longer one with more background
Also relevant in light of recent news
Odey incubated Somerset Capital, Rees-Moggs investment firm
Nothing illegal about betting against the UK, depending on how much influence there was to secure the outcome hedged for
It is the gift that keeps on giving
Who are the useful idiots?
Perhaps not a genius on trade
Trade specialists on checks finally due to come in. No deal proponents all worked on the premise that tariffs could be avoided by might or voluntary EU and international goodwill
The people for whom he pleads mercy
Who was Philippa Day? theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
We need to think about our future
Transparency a weak point among Johnson's ministers
Only certain lives are valued
Johnson was clear about that
To what extent the #CovidInquiry might eventually clarify. When / if the government Judicial Review fails
Good detail on that here. Also from David Allen Green. Ex-central government lawyer
Maybe Rees-Mogg will quietly retire to some non-extradition tax haven
I hope most will second this now

One has to wonder what kind of constant fear some will live in knowing the secrets that Johnson had access to via WhatsApps, official briefings, and various international contacts
What bets they may be taking on who has been demonstrably loyal enough not to fall foul of his wit in upcoming writing. People who helped him make the bed we lie in and then, perhaps belatedly or only in private, realised the post hoc implication of his malleable loyalties
Means Vs ends, with means now being laid bare and ends not at all what was promised except for a very narrow set of interested parties. Some of whom a past caught up with

Houchen has been one of the very staunchest Johnson supporters
He believed everyone wants to move on from talking about how Johnson broke rules most followed

Do we need to school children to accept the status quo and historical definition of morals? Do we force agreement with the prevailing ethos that they are rejecting? An ethos that has shaped them, their parents and their peers for 13yrs and the lion's share of the 50yrs preceding

This while working to weaken the rights and oversight bodies upon which AI safety would hinge is quite extraordinary. Deregulatory fervour had been the theme of the last 7 years
We are hunting unicorns while a lot of the infrastructure to support growth is in need of investment. Higher education harder to access while we need a workforce and environment that can power change
Venture capitalists need to trust the UK, but unless we innovate in the governance space to partner speculative investment, we are at risk of growing a bubble while the existing one has signs of bursting
