Bravo @WNOtweet with Candide! More if that please!

Johnson's flounce-out starts two processes. The first is the meltdown in office of the Tory Party... there are three factions - Johnsonists, NatCs and austerian technocrats who have run out of road to govern.

The second process involves the creation of a new, populist formation with far-right politics. Tice and Farage are working towards it - but the big step will be the moment any of the fragments makes a formal move beyond Conservative structures.

Johnson's garbage statement injected misogynistic conspiracy theories; the NatC conference was thick with racism, traditionalism and "Cultural Marxism" obsessions. There'll be a fight now for the soul of the Tory party...

Liberal conservatism has already been effectively ousted. Next up the neoliberal globalists.

Yet the nice shire dwelling people of SE England will go on voting Tory even as it mobilises the kind of plebeian racism that disgusts them.

As for the Sunak govt it has lost the ability to wield its majority. You watch. Everything from solar farms to the cap badges of infantry regiments will now become a Blue-On-Blue.

Meanwhile the economy is drifting.. Gilt yields are close to the highs thru reached under Truss. There is no growth story. There is no governance story other than "we're competent".

This is why we need PR - to catalyse a constitutional change that ensures people like Johnson, Kempsell, Cummings, Frost, Dorris never get near power again.

Johnson has gone, protesting his innocence to the end. To understand what has happened it it vital to understand one critical thing, which is that he is a pathological liar. He lies continuously and has not the slightest idea that he is. Nor does he recall doing so. A thread…

[Debra Swain @MrsDebbs]

@RichardJMurphy He’s also a narcissist

@rob_kelsall @pauline_beer @NAHTnews @NEUnion Are @NASUWT not balloting their members?

[Debra Swain @MrsDebbs]

@GeorgeMonbiot I have long thought this and out TV schedules show this all the time

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

Today, the @NEUnion will be giving evidence to the school teachers’ review body (STRB) which makes recommendations to Govt on the pay.

They’ll be telling them about their experiences and why teachers need a fair, fully funded pay rise.

RT to show your support. #SaveOurSchools

@AndyPeacock999 @MelesVulpes @UKLabour Back in the good old days, when there was hope

[Debra Swain @MrsDebbs]

This is the funniest thing.. I’ve laughed my head off this morning and I’m not even out of bed! Don’t get any ideas @bonemotion !!

#plymouthcitycouncil should have read this - children understand the importance on trees - why don’t Tories!

[LBC @LBC]

'I hope every councillor who voted in favour of this is kicked out on their well-remunerated backside.'

After Plymouth council felled 110 mature trees overnight, @NickFerrariLBC says there is 'no defence' for the move.

@LesterJHolloway @pauline_beer There is a term this and it is revealing itself … just like @GaryLineker said!

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Now we know why they’ve taken so long. This is a thorough piece of work. And it spells the very end for Johnson. I strongly recommend you all read the whole thing. And look forward to him being questioned under oath while his acolytes bleat about Sue Gray https://t.co/ezse7rxU6Y

[Debra Swain @MrsDebbs]

@mollie__swain Along the lines you’re getting involved in!

Ah fuck it, THREAD, I guess. I’ve tried to hold my tongue re: the lack of female guitar acts/female headliners/the “pipeline problem” at Glastonbury. But perhaps my experience is relevant. I am a female guitar act. I write big, singalong chorus songs that go great at festivals.1/
