Badenoch, last month: Why is PM obsessed with Thatcher? SO WEIRD! I was not even born. He wants to take us back to the 70s. Badenoch, this week: I'm like Thatcher, a new Thatcher, possibly possessed by Thatcher, LOVE Thatcher, Thatcher was right, and I'll take us back to the 80s. Tory Conference:

In this letter to @thetimes.com, Lord Carlile, @bricksilk.bsky.social and Sir Max Hill explain why the ECHR is a national security asset. The three former Independent Reviewers of Terrorism Legislation wrote the foreword to our recent paper on the subject: justice.org.uk/news/former-...

The UK Daily Mail obviously did not like the results of its own poll. Its own graphic portrays 75% as less than 50%. #UKPolitics #Brexit #EuropeanUnion

Wolfie Badenoch is fond of appealing to 'common sense'. What we need is good sense. Once the nasty party, always the nasty party. #wato

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

Legal C@legalclaret.bsky.social · 2d ago

I have heard some bonkerooney from the Tories in recent years, but this is off the charts. As a sensible policy, it is up there with making it a legal requirement for people called Jacob to wear trousers while taking a shower. That level of madness. Let’s break it down.

Surely if water companies are bankrupt renationalising them won't cost any money? #bbcaq

What a week. We've seen the news agenda rescued from the grip of the far-right. We've seen astonishing levels of competence in government communication. And we've seen the outline of a radical policy programme. It's a v.exciting time to be involved in politics iandunt.substack.com/p/some-dispa...
