Days to draft, yet the letter staggers about, hunting for a literary style to call its own. You give us 'knights in shining armour', 'fighting in the trenches' and 'falling on swords'. Like Wayne's World, hurtling through time & space searching for 'Britain's best days'. Thread

Antithesis is your favourite device, you wield it like a Wiganer with a hot pie barm. Local saint versus Westminster rot, stepping aside yet not away, progress v the great complacency. Everytime you open your mouth you set one thing violently against another. 17/20

Birth in the infirmary, football in fields, parades for St George's (sadly minus the apostrophe). You're securing, restoring, building and cleaning up. You turn from Handyman to Andyman - whilst Westminster complacency 'has become a rot', St Andy is draining Bickerstaff dump. 🧵

@JonTonge Tell us about it ....

Alas, that fine antithesis is merely a flash in the pan, or rather an NHS bedpan. You stagger on, swelling the lexicon of disaster with tyranny, pandemic, war, austerity, Brexit and Liz Truss, before collapsing into one long, tired sentence. Take a break. 14/20

This reads as if you've locked Churchill & JFK in a cupboard but every now and again we hear their muffled voices. In para 9 you deliver a decent antithesis, boosted by anaphora & alliteration ‘....where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction..'

Taking one for the nation - Richard Johnson explains the intricacies of leadership challenges in Great Britain to an American audience.
He also offers an excellent library backdrop.

I was on CNN this morning to explain the process of a Labour leadership challenge to an international audience.

"This above all: to thine own self be true — and therefore, as a Minister in this government, I must tender my resignation..."
My hopes are high for the Hamlet of the Health Service's bash at a resignation letter.

In Wes Streeting’s office there’s a @spectator editorial pinned to the notice board. Its title? The Hamlet of the Health Service…

Whilst we wait for the worst of Wes, here's a review of Boris Johnson's 2023 epic resignation letter.

[Rate your resignation letter @ResignWell]

Boris, you’ve fired your 1035 word resignation from Africa and it resembles a word safari. From ‘kangaroos’, to’ witches’ you aim fire at your enemies one by one. The tricolon ‘They know’ in your second paragraph tolls like the bells of Big Ben. (1/4)

You can read all yesterday's resignation letters in full. Or instead you could read this; Anthony Eden's perfectly formed letter of resignation to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in 1938.
