Each new tweet I see from the Tory conference is more mental and outrageous than the previous one.
Here's a compressed list:
1. Nigel Farage and Priti Patel dancing together. (The Tory party is now just UKIP in blue.)
2. Lee Anderson asking why anyone would want to go to Bradford. (I'm sure people from Brandford will be thrilled)
3. Sky's Sophy Ridge reads out part of the Energy Secretary's speech where she says, 'there's no wonder Labour seem so relaxed about taxing meat...' - and asks: "You didn't write that, did you? They're not proposing a meat tax?" (Labour never proposed this. It's a total lie.)
4. Michael Gove lying about Brexit delivering £350M a week for the NHS.
5. Jacob Rees-Mogg seemingly batting for hormone-injected beef from Australia instead of backing British farmers. He said: "I want cheaper food. I want hormone injected beef from Australia. I've eaten beef in Australia, it's delicious. There's nothing wrong with it."
6. The UK's worst Prime Minister in history, Liz Truss, demanding the biggest audience of the conference so far.
7. 20mph speed limits are a war on motorists and will be stopped. (Despite the evidence showing that it saves lives.)
8. Not a few bottles, or a couple of cases, but a full pallet load of expensive champagne is offloaded at conference.
9. Priti Patel describes GB News as 'The most successful, most dynamic, no-nonsense news station, and the defenders of free speech'. This is despite the station being under investigation for multiple potential broadcast breaches by OFCOM.
10. Tory MP Tom Hunt says he's "not xenophobic", but his town centre feels like "a foreign country", which there's no "shared values".
11. Rishi Sunak refuses to rule out Nigel Farage joining the Tory Party
Bradford. I meant Bradford.
In relation to HS2, Anderson said: “Anyone here from Bradford? Would you want to get there quicker?"
