This is only the beginning. He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight. The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone. Choose who you'll be in this moment.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

The notebook sweet spot is so small. Like the chances of finding one that's nice enough to buy but not too nice to ruin by writing in it are basically zero. Madness. This world is absolute madness.

There's been talk again of a royal commission on social care [cue collective groan from policy wonks] Like many I agree a royal commission would be a waste of time. BUT I do think there could be value in an inquiry modelled on the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards Short 🧵below:
