I’m not saying it’s like the last days of Rome or anything but they’ve decided to replace Lee Anderson with this as the Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party.

This is not a drill. Please assemble at the nearest muster station.

And no, this isn’t a joke. They’re totally fucked. Desperate times.

The BBC is apparently going to ‘speak to’ @GaryLineker about this tweet, which is ironic as it’s more accurate than most of the corporation’s actual news coverage.

I would love to know precisely which bit of the tweet @BBCNews thinks is inaccurate.

A wholly unsuitable person for any senior office, and particularly the stewardship of our natural environment and food systems. Almost unbelievable that a person of such vacuity and snooty, bored, indifference is in her role. She should be removed.

Yes, I realise this could apply to nearly all current ministers. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Here you go, far right thugs, a free pass from a Home Secretary who is meant to uphold both the law and public order.

Get these dangerous Trumpites out of office or our own January 6th won’t be far off.

Shameful legitimisation of racists here. Abysmal.

It’s quite astounding.

I was close. He missed out Brexit and blamed the media for his demise, otherwise basically as below. They write themselves.

So if I don’t pay for #TwitterBlue no one will see my tweets or replies, despite Twitter saying my tweets got 88 million impressions this month, but a far right racist with 2 followers can pay to be seen. This is apparently democratising online dialogue.

Really @elonmusk? I’m not talking about verification ticks. I’m talking about the features musk says only Blue subscribers will enjoy, like people actually seeing their tweets. The implication is if someone like @stephenfry didn’t pay, his tweets would be below a troll with 1 follower who had.

Bloody hell this is really magnificent from @asda Chairman Stuart Rose (formerly @marksandspencer)

More of this. Much more. It’s vital that business leaders speak out in this way. Bravo. 👏

Doubtless the *checks notes* Tory peer who has run two of Britain’s largest retailers is ‘woke’ or something.

Where are we all going if this site becomes as awful as feared? Which app? Guys we can’t all go to different ones you’re all supposed to say the same one!

Braverman's return is the first huge error. It's only been a few hours. Penny Modaunt is rewarded for another briefly entertaining and entirely pointless leadership bid by remaining in the crappy job Liz Truss gave her after her last briefly entertaining and entirely pointless leadership bid.

I am absolutely pissing myself at the ministers announcing they’d back him who have so badly miscalculated their job prospects. I love you all. I’m now really worried that Tory members won’t know who to choose between Rishi Sunak and Rishi Sunak.

Truss: “Your Majesty… Lovely to see you again.”

King: “Back again. Dear oh dear. Anyway…”

This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. 😂😂

This whole exchange is proving to be an unexpected boost for the monarchy.

The death of a political party, filmed up close for the first time ever. It’s like an Attenborough film about extinction.

#TheQueue has just been paused for 6 hours, so they can now interview all the people who are queuing to get into the queue. Several people telling me that some in #TheQueue are taking relatives’ ashes along with them as they’d apparently have wanted to be there, and I’m seriously wondering if this society can survive much longer.

They’ve just interviewed a woman asking her about the ham sandwich she has brought to #TheQueue

She made it at 7 this morning and there are also some tomatoes in the Tupperware.

I’m losing my mind. Seldon just said visiting Westminster Hall may be one of the most significant moments of many people’s lives. He makes Witchell look like Guy Fawkes.

Please don’t let other events obscure the fact that Liz Truss has quietly made this man an education minister.

For those asking, it really is true. schoolsweek.co.uk/grammar-suppor…

Two weeks ago the British Prime Minister said the ‘jury was out’ on whether this man was friend or foe.

If nothing else, I hope our government uses this period to reclaim some basic dignity for itself and for our country.
