[The Critic @TheCriticMag]

Lizz Truss had a good plan for Britain, argues @RohanWatt. What a shame about the execution https://t.co/tHeaFPbKkh

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

Have a read of this month’s @TheCriticMag - out this week - where I give an assessment of what could have been, and what went wrong, in the Truss premiership

[The Critic @TheCriticMag]

In our October leader, we consider the deep failings of the Conservative party after 13 years in office, and note powerful interventions in our latest issue from @RohanWatt, @LeeReynoldsUKNI, @HJoyceGender, @jonkay and @JSMilbank on the state of the nation

@PembrokeOxford As someone who had the flat in the background - I can say it was my favourite season!

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

@yuanyi_z Australia has a group of pretty brilliant IR schools!

[Kathryn White @KathrynWW1]

Incredibly happy to say I passed my DPhil viva with minor corrections! A wonderful - and constructive - chat with @AdrianGregory20 and Mike Snape, followed by celebrations with my wonderful @PembrokeMCR friends.

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

@KathrynWW1 Good luck Kathryn - looking forward to celebrating after! Break a leg!

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

@SirWiggo for the record, I was admiring the butterflies on the new bike when your snapper papped us…

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

@PembrokeOxford @GillmanSoame Can our new library look something like this 😍😍😍

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

@leightonst Skip straight to London - you’ll know just as many people here and it isn’t that far from home anymore really

[Kathryn White @KathrynWW1]

In the dust bath, but wouldn’t have it any other way. Brilliant day at Le Tour, seeing so many riders up close thanks to the many groups that split apart on the cobbles. #TDF2022

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

@robert__ds It might be a fact of a quiet warning ahead of time… it’s not exactly clear, I’m not sure anyone loves the idea of constitutional crisis

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

1/ Those conjecturing that #BorisJohnson could head to the Palace ahead of Monday’s committee election as a final effort should note an important change since the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 was repealed the other day:

[Madeline Grant @Madz_Grant]

No, YOU try sketching all of that in 700 words

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

5/ So, HM could say “no” if she can be reasonably confident a process to find a replacement will be sufficient to meet the principles

[Rohan Watt @RohanWatt]

4/ One wonders if this is being raised by the delegation in number 10 right now. This principle was first raised by the Queen’s then private secretary and now forms part of cabinet office guidance on government formation.
