If the right wing press and their Tory allies want to go after politicians' cvs, then why didn't they go after Iain Duncan Smith when he was the actual party leader?

1/ So, where were we? Oh yep, #duvetknowitschristmas. Firstly, some admin: Twitter/X has evidently been run into the ground by a preening, self-radicalised clot, so while there's a slim possibility that this annual celebration might be thriving over there, I won't know cos I won't be looking.

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/

Good morning sky people 🦔 Or of course, rebleet.

1/ Ok, so instead of just making jokes about the EU Reset, I wanted to do a very simplified thread on: - what the actual problem is Keir Starmer is trying to solve; - the options on the table; and - why this shit is hard. This will be very long. I'm sorry. Let's get wonky.

Here's what's happening ... 1. Starmer's hopes of a cherry-picked reset have collapsed under EU demands. 2. The EU is taking us to court to make us fulfil our obligations in the Brexit deal. 3. Some obligations, like border checks on EU food, can NEVER be introduced by us because then we'd starve!
