During the Munich conference I was asked why I am so gloomy. Well, somebody has to tell it like it is, so here’s how it is: Things are not going well. 🧵
@behaviorpanel please PLEASE do a special show using interviews with these British politicians who say that Brexit is going well... I am sure they must be a rich source of material to demonstrate deception and lies 😉
.@sturdyAlex you have probably been inundated with this already but Annika on @BBCRadio4 is brilliant with the wonderful Nicola Walker... Check it out on @BBCSounds
@MaxFRobespierre I have never realised before how strident Farage is. I couldn't listen to him on TV all day like some people I know. He turns me right off.
Turned off @MTLegalAF because it should be much less of Ben talk and much more @mspopok Wonder if the YT algorithm has sussed out at what point I switch off?
@Samfr@YellsOnPolitics Anyone is better than Trump for SCOTUS. He threatens their very existence and from recent reporting they are very fond of their special position and the benefits it bestows on them.
As an addendum, I'd like to point out that this jaw dropping report by the Public Accounts Committee last week was NOT mentioned in the Mail, Express, Telegraph and the usual suspects. Further gaslighting of the electorate in a cost of living crisis.
Navalny’s aides just minutes ago confirmed to me that they have no news, do not know where he is and have not seen or heard of him for two weeks now !

@campbellclaret where is your "Where there's a will there's a wake" episode? I was sure you had done one and now I can't find it. @KathyBurkeWTAW Was he too seriois to air?
It’s reported tonight that MPs pine for a Boris Johnson come back in order to keep their seats and ‘Tory party bosses’ say they would block him from getting a seat and the option of Cameron being imposed as leader is discussed - I ask, who are the Tory party bosses?
THE PLOT
Nothing at the top of the Conservative Party happens by accident.
A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.
“In just a few years, we have gone from being relatively secure in our democracy to being a few short steps, and a matter of months, away from the possibility of dictatorship.”

Secunder Kermani, "Israel's flag now flies high in the centre of Gaza city, overlooking a desolate apocalyptic landscape. This is one of the most intense assaults on a population, the world has ever seen. And it's not over yet"
Thanks @carolvorders. Though senior journos who shall remain nameless dismissed it, our first PPE scandal story was on
