@dieworkwear Great inspiration pictures as always. Any suggestions on where you can find trousers like this RTW?
When I tried a reverse image search it took me to a thread on styleforum, but I couldn't actually see the picture there.

It'd be awful to have a PM who didn't look at the evidence, barely understood the regions he governed, denied parliament a voice & then stitched it up so that no future govt could undo the damage he inflicted. But that is precisely the PM we've got https://t.co/dTexhX5rTW

The Swingometer returns after a summer break with a look at an issue which is a hot topic once again today (and a longstanding interest of mine) - immigration. Why are immigration attitudes more positive in Scotland than England? Link to the piece in the next tweet!

First time the press regulator has forced a paper to correct an article written by a secretary of state. By Braverman inevitably. https://t.co/kKnL5oBZGs

Really enjoyed talking to David Runciman about his new book, the power of AI, how the capitalist state became the default way of thinking about the state, corporations, artificial agency and structure, and whether any of it can be changed…tune in to listen @PPFIdeas

Here's my post debunking Fraser Nelson's recent tweet and articles.
Welfare benefits are not "the biggest scandal in politics". The right-wing press misrepresenting facts and misusing statistics in pursuit of their political agenda is.

If you can get passed the slow pace of it and the terminology, the Covid Inquiry is turning into quite the drama...and, dare I say, may well have some teeth!

Today Dame Jenny Harries (Head of Test & Trace and HSA) was in the hot chair, and it certainly got fiery!

Hopefully the next batch of Labour attack ads will focus on the dreadful record Sunak can and should be blamed for - do read the last few paragraphs of this passionate piece. Here’s what’s wrong with Labour’s attack ads on crime – The Secret Barrister https://t.co/sBCsHn2BQW

@Samfr Great read. I hope politicians of all stripes are paying attention, but fear not.

Ange Postecoglou's Celtic play a style which resembles the best teams and coaches in world football such as Pep's City, Arteta's Arsenal, & De Zerbi's Brighton.

His Celtic team invert the fullbacks, attack with flawless positional play, & counterpress relentlessly.

MEGA-THREAD!
