Each new tweet I see from the Tory conference is more mental and outrageous than the previous one.
Here's a compressed list:
1. Nigel Farage and Priti Patel dancing together. (The Tory party is now just UKIP in blue.)
2. Lee Anderson asking why anyone would want to go to Bradford. (I'm sure people from Brandford will be thrilled)
3. Sky's Sophy Ridge reads out part of the Energy Secretary's speech where she says, 'there's no wonder Labour seem so relaxed about taxing meat...' - and asks: "You didn't write that, did you? They're not proposing a meat tax?" (Labour never proposed this. It's a total lie.)
4. Michael Gove lying about Brexit delivering £350M a week for the NHS.
5. Jacob Rees-Mogg seemingly batting for hormone-injected beef from Australia instead of backing British farmers. He said: "I want cheaper food. I want hormone injected beef from Australia. I've eaten beef in Australia, it's delicious. There's nothing wrong with it."
6. The UK's worst Prime Minister in history, Liz Truss, demanding the biggest audience of the conference so far.
7. 20mph speed limits are a war on motorists and will be stopped. (Despite the evidence showing that it saves lives.)
8. Not a few bottles, or a couple of cases, but a full pallet load of expensive champagne is offloaded at conference.
9. Priti Patel describes GB News as 'The most successful, most dynamic, no-nonsense news station, and the defenders of free speech'. This is despite the station being under investigation for multiple potential broadcast breaches by OFCOM.
10. Tory MP Tom Hunt says he's "not xenophobic", but his town centre feels like "a foreign country", which there's no "shared values".
11. Rishi Sunak refuses to rule out Nigel Farage joining the Tory Party
Sunak speech: 1/ His comment about Nicola Sturgeon, if uttered by a journalist live on air, would lead to them being taken off air immediately. It risks contempt of court. And the broadcasters cannot report on this error of judgment accurately without also risking contempt....
@paulmasonnews I couldn’t quite believe what I was hearing from a British PM. I���m NOT a Scot or an SNP supporter but I know this was wrong …..VERY WRONG

You previously reported on the Danny, the rebuilding & operation of which has been a labour of love & genius by a passionate team of volunteers.
Sadly the CRT have scuppered the last few cruises; please can you report again ASAP?
Dear Mr Sunak:
Sort the NHS out urgently - no more faffing around with Tory-speak & no action.
Dear Parents of Unvaccinated Children:
Herd immunity ain't gonna work. Time to protect by vaccination rather than by the actions of others.
Hurry!

Superb, deeply affecting interview this morning.
I'm horrified at the treatment you experience, Rosie, and applaud you for your campaign.
My invisible disability is never a cause of cruelty, I can only imagine the trauma & stress & it would cause.
@KayBurley Nah, sorry.
Wrong time (few hundred years wrong).
Oh and please don't expect taxpayers to fund the ceremony nor all the emergency & armed services required (they have enough to do as it is).
I wish you a happy reign, nonetheless, please keep up the environmental work. Cheers.
@erbrooker Sadly it seems to be the general strategy. I know of Primary & Secondary staff told Not to test for covid. If they do, against advice, they're still told to come in to stop Ofsted results being influenced by absence stats. Appalling.
@ClairElle__4 I'm so sorry you've lost so much of your life to this illness & hope that you get some relief & a return of at least some of your memory & energy.
This is so similar to my own story of pituitary failure; you have my love & empathy x
