As far as I can ascertain, @Conservatives voters fall into one or more of these categories;

The Rich;
Millionaires and Billionaires whose only interest is to enrich themselves still further regardless of the damage they do to other people in the process. They vote for and donate… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@Conservatives As @DWright28 points out, I missed the classic 'Self made man'. The man who forgets that luck gave him his break, bot his abilities. The man who Harry Enfield carricatured beautifully; The man who is 'considerably richer than yow'

The triumphalist delight exhibited by @nigel_farage and his supporters at Rose's resignation is both sickening and entirely expected. However, Tom Scott at @BylineTimes suggests that if anything, Coutts and Nat West were less diligent than they should have been in checking… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@Nigel_Farage @BylineTimes Remember this word Farage; hubris.
@Nigel_Farage @BylineTimes Who are Farage's supporters? Well in addition to the usual suspects - #DickLice and #ReFashUK, #LoozaFox and #BaggageReclaim, Murdoch and #TalkShitTV, Wootton and the whole #GoebbelsNews mob, Farage has picked up support from Tories. Notably, Sunak, Braverman, 30p, Hunt, Davis… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Assuming she lives to be, say, 80 years old, Charlotte Owen now has a guaranteed tax-free income of £53.3k per year, for 6 months 'work' per calendar year, index linked, for 50 years. This is amount she can claim in her HoL allowance based on 156 sitting days per year. Oh and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
That is a monthly take home salary of £4441.
Assuming similar longevity, Shaun 'mingle and jingle' Bailey can do the same for 30 years.

On #PoliticsLive there was a short discussion about slavery reparation and the fund set up by Laura Trevelyan. Having attended @HaileyburyUK College (also Clement Attlee's school) I know something about the Trevelyan family - so here's a 🧵 /1
The name Trevelyan is 'celebrated' at @HaileyburyUK, with a Boarding House named after Charles Trevelyan, created first Baronet of Wallington in 1874. Charles Trevelyan was the son of George Trevelyan who was handsomely compensated for the loss of hundreds of slaves /2
whom he 'owned' in the West Indies. This compensation was the equivalent of £millions today and will have, with prudent investment, grown into £billions. The debt incurred by the British government to compensate slave owners was only paid off in 2015. /3

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
