I would like to pay tribute to Johnson for providing the nation with a list of Tory MPs who believed he hadn’t done enough damage last time (in some cases despite telling him to step down only a few months ago). We will remember.

Braverman lost to tofu, Truss lost to a lettuce, vegans having an amazing week tbf

@joncstone Another issue is essential utilities have to ensure continuity of supply if they fail which costs taxpayers in the end. You can’t just be cut off for days because you chose a weak supplier. Essential public services should be run in the interests of the users.

[Thomas Hansen @MrTHansen]

@AaronBastani Also, because of the way Johnson organised the cabinet their hasn’t been the opportunity for the stronger ppl on the Tory bench to get governing experience, so the likelihood of them turning things around by May 2024 is pretty low
