I wrote about how to spot a bad man: Sin and the Booky Wook of common prayer.

We are being gaslit out of existence. Literally and proverbially.

@SoVeryBritish The ‘doofer’, obviously.

UK is always like "We should protest like the french! Set the country on fire!"

One guy jumps on a snooker table "good heavens that's a bit much"

We really, really need to get our act together before it’s too late.

HIGNFY producers hoping BBC don’t find out that Ian Hislop also edits a satirical magazine occasionally critical of government policy.

There will never be a stronger argument to change our voting system, than a party with a minority of the vote, cycling through their THIRD PRIME MINISTER IN THE SAME YEAR, while simultaneously crashing the economy, and claiming to have a mandate from the people.

If you think Boris Johnson is the solution…

Then you’ve completely misunderstood the problem.

Ought to be a big rally in London to demand a GE

Tofu: 1; Braverman 0.

Do you remember when people who voted for & claimed to welcome all of this national & generational damage insisted that they loved it all because it upset people like us? Do you remember how they relished 'Remainer tears' even as the country crumbled? I do. And I *always* will.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

One day soon, our children & grandchildren will look at the last few years of British political history and wonder, more than anything else, why on earth people like Nigel Farage, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Daniel Hannan, Zac Goldsmith & Digby Jones were ever taken seriously by anyone...

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Even I'm bored of pointing this out, but British politics broke when Brexit lies were presented by almost all of the British media as an equal & opposite counterpoint to reality, gravity, evidence & expertise. None of it can be fixed until the idiocy of Brexit is acknowledged.

For exactly the same reason, the natural monopolies, such as energy supply, train services, water and maybe core internet infrastructure will all need to be nationalised. There is no room for failure here.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

At the same time the artificial markets that the Tories set up in education and healthcare, in particular, will be swept away. They have failed, dismally. Instead the aim will be high quality service for everyone, without anyone extracting unnecessary profit.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Education, health care, social care, a strong welfare state, functioning legal systems, enforced regulation and even a fair tax system all create value. They are the underpinnings of a confident country where people can afford to take risk, including in setting up businesses.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

The philosophy is fundamentally flawed. Only narcissists, sociopaths and worse, think only individuals matter in life. The rest of us disagree because we know we live in society, and that our communities, from our families upwards, are the biggest determinants of our well-being.
