Elon Musk is wholly unsuited to the responsibility of running Twitter.
We need to be able to hold the stewards of online communities to account.
In the meantime, I'll be over on Mastodon: https://t.co/g6aARVdHv0

📮 @nickwallis has been investigating the Post Office Horizon scandal for more than a decade. But, even as it is being investigated by a public inquiry, he learns it is far from over.

What just happened?

This, I think:

- Liz Truss was told yesterday by Graham Brady that she’s toast, but time is needed to find a successor, so she must stay as zombie PM until then

- it’s possible she tried to fight back, possibly by threatening to call an immediate GE /1.

This is so unbelievably stupid and irresponsible it ought to disqualify Coffey from her post. And possibly any other public office.

Tsundoku: a Japanese term for the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them.

So happy I have now a term for this major issue in my life. Here's a small part of my current tsundoku pile.

What's in yours?

The government has lost control of the economy. It’s going to mean higher mortgages and higher prices.

And what for?

Unfunded tax cuts for the one per cent.

They must recall parliament today and abandon this act of economic self-harm.

As Thatcher once remarked, “you can’t make a soufflé rise twice”.

My piece on why Truss can't launch a free-market revolution – Thatcher did that in the 1980s and created the model we still have today. https://t.co/n5bPWUjAux

After announcing he’ll remove restrictions on banker’s pay, the Chancellor says that 120,000 more people on Universal Credit must "take active steps to seek more and better-paid work, or face having their benefits reduced". Brutal, structural violence against women +children.
