Thread 🧵 1.

So any post-Brexit USA trade deal hinged upon Trump winning the 2020 election unless the Tories adhered to the NI Protocol under the Biden administration but they’re politically hamstrung by the DUP to tear up the international treaty they lauded as ‘Oven Ready’ 2.
Meanwhile, America is solidifying its trade arrangements with the EU, and has no plans to bring the U.K. to the negotiating table.
But don’t panic because a trade deal with India is simmering nicely except for Home Secretary Suella Braverman jeopardising it by labelling Indian

The most troubling part for me in this whole Crispin Odey situation is the lack of recourse to actually drill down into what occurred when his former consultant and now Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng and former Shell employee and now Prime Minister Liz Truss sat

There’ll be no meeting minutes, no agenda filed in the

1. Dan Wootton who you may recall brought in a production team to get his 2 seconds of reflection time for the Queen just right after several botched takes has decided he knows that Meghan Markle was crying only for herself at the Queen’s funeral. So appalled by the presence of

Spurious Sunday Poll 🚨🚨🚨

When it comes to mathematical wizardry and and a godlike ability to interpret and understand figures infinitely faster than your average Joe/Joanne…

Who are you picking?👇👇👇 *no idea why I typed and twice (I am pretty stoned though)

1. So GB News are trying to excuse their racism by getting a black presenter to declare that Meghan Markle is an arse wipe but it’s not racist because look, I’m a black girl is saying it not them white folk…
This isn’t exactly scientific but bear with me… I looked at a cross

2. section of 50 or so accounts who’ve commented and cheered on Nana Akua’s tweet, and here’s what I found…
The average number of followers was 62, and the average engagement each tweet by these accounts gets is 1.8 per tweet… unless… they mention Meghan Markle, Jack Monroe,

1. If you cast your minds back a few short weeks, and if like me you were watching the Tory leadership hustings with a keen eye you’ll recall a procession of candidates dodging and weaving their way through any question regarding the real life impacts of Brexit and ergo the 2. lack of tangible benefits. You might recall that across the spectrum of non responses, MPs asked about Brexit would without fail respond by calling those who dared ask the simplest of questions as gloomsters, remainiacs, and most infuriating of all anti-British
No credible

1. I’d imagined the last day of Boris Johnson as PM differently to this. There were no circumstances I could conceive where we we’d trade down and yet here we are about to install political ‘vuvuzela’ Liz Truss as his replacement. Popular for two weeks in summer then everyone

2. got sick of the constant blowing of hot air and the accompanying din that ate away at people’s ears, brains, patience, and sanity before being outed as massively irritating and a danger to people’s hearing…
And like the infamous vuvuzela, the initial enthusiasm turned

1. Cressida Dick repeatedly pleaded the Fifth in media interviews and Public Inquiries in order to provide cover for Met Police corruption, epic never before seen failure in protecting victims of domestic abuse, rape, police brutality, and failed to fully investigate Partygate

2. and yet here she is in perfect lockstep with the current attempts to unseat Sadiq Khan as Labour Mayor of London.
Committee after Committee we endured Dick excusing abhorrent investigations into institutional corruption at the Met, and using confidentiality as a cover not

Liz Truss getting 5 second delays between her finishing each sentence in her opening speech and the audience realising they’re meant to applaud…
90 seconds in and she’s slaughtering Sadiq Khan (to a luke warm response) and declaring that London is really a Tory city. Painful And she’s now blaming Sadiq Khan for low economic growth in London and I can’t help but think she’ll be gone before we’re opening our Christmas prezzies

1. Love child of Harry Hill & Paddy off Emmerdale, James Whale of Talk TV who you may recall was normal in the late 80’s has now decided that the @RNLI are the real enemy because (wait for it…) they’re doing their job. James and his roll call of regular callers are outraged at

2. the idea that one of the most lauded charitable associations in Britain won’t just let these refugees sink. In fact he goes on in a later tweet to decry calling these people refugees because “they is illegals innit boss”
Outraged by International Law, and insistent that

1. Did GB News realise that they were platforming a Holocaust denier when they booked Peter Sweden with angry pancake Neil Oliver who sees life through ‘Eastenders-tinted spectacles’ given his outlook of impending doom on steroids… of course they did. Are they racing round right

https://twitter.com/Otto_English/status/1563617391237804033

2. now investigating how such an abhorrent error was made? Were meetings held through last night working out a PR campaign to try and quell the wave of disgust? No, none of that. Of course they knew who Peter Sweden was, and the reaction his appearance would trigger. ‘@ing’

1. On the morning that Ofgem announce an 80% increase in the energy price cap, effectively triggering a social and economic disaster in the U.K. the likes of which hasn’t been seen for 75 years, and with experts predicting a grim death toll as a direct result, the media brought

2. the wonderfully astute financial expert Martin Lewis to once more spell out the immediacy of the emergency facing the poorest in society. Of course for these continued efforts we’re supremely grateful… but if you’re half awake today you may have noticed a glaring omission

1. In the wake of the outstanding truth to power lecture by Emily Maitlis exposing Tory cronyism within the heart of the BBC, all backed up by factual evidence… first Tory gobshite out of the blocks to try and discredit Emily’s viewing figures is @CatharineHoey inferring

https://twitter.com/supertanskiii/status/1562563825626259457

2. that the reason for a switch off from Newsnight was due to Emily’s rhetoric. Ms Maitlis was the second most watched Newsnight presenter behind Jeremy Paxman thus proving that Conservative peer and travelling circus ‘She-Bear’ Hoey is exactly the problem described by EM in her

1. So Shaun Wooller of the Daily Mail who’s famous for absolutely nothing other than demonising the symbol of the LGBTQ movement 🏳️‍🌈 by aligning it with the existential crisis of our time… ‘woke’… fails to mention that the £0.83p spent by the NHS per employee per year is less 2. than they allocate per employee per week on toiletries, is the equivalent of NHS staff parking for 22% of the average daily shift, and is 7p less per year than the Daily Mail charges per day to read their fantastical twaddle. In a normal functioning workplace Andrew Pierce

1. Airports taking ‘draconian measures’ that’ll affect that famed summer getaway ‘the end of October’ whines the Daily Mail while omitting to point out that the labour pool drawn on by airports has halved due to the Tories hard Brexit denying access to anyone with a suspicious 2. accent or who’s surname isn’t Smith, Jones, or Chormondley-Warner…
The Daily Mail which has spent 6 years laying waste to anyone with expertise or ‘Brexpertise’ by simply calling their opinion ‘woke’ or declaring them an enemy of the British Reich…

1. Today’s Daily Mail headline of Trumpian partisanship is brought to you by Kumail Jaffer who you’ll note is quoted below from a previous article where he’s singing the virtues of diversity training being conducive to his career as a journalist. Now I’ve done an exhaustive 2. search across the Mail Online and you’ll be shocked to hear this but at no point anywhere on any of the Mail’s various sites and feeds does Jaffer come leaping tearing out of the blocks to take issue with the current Tory policy being floated by Tory Attorney General

1. Great piece in the Guardian from @JohnJCrace who takes a deep dive into what the rest of us who have eyes, ears, and a functioning cognitive response can see unfolding within the Conservative party. The ascension of Liz Truss to the position of

Bookmakers’ favourite in the Tory leadership race… just three candidates are left standing in the bid to replace the exiting incumbent Boris Johnson (although buffering rather than exiting would be more precise given his unwillingness to actually depart Downing Street)

1: Northern Joe Pasquale impersonator and comedy extremist @ScottBentonMP took to Twitter last night to celebrate the US Supreme Court ruling that overturns Roe v. Wade effectively stripping women of their abortion right to choose what they do with their body. Minutes later the.. 2: Supreme Court inferred that gay marriage may be next at which point Benton of course deleted his retweet… you’ll recall he came out as gay and announced his marriage to his husband on GB News because how meet cute is that??? So Scott hates brown people, refugees, the poor..,
