This is the fiction (almost) everyone pays lip service to but it's usually reserved for the small print and not proclaimed publicly...

Flip-flop, flip-flop.
Once again, it is very hard to know what (other than independence and himself) Humza actually believes in. thetimes.co.uk/article/new-no…

A bona fide idiot. (There is going to be a lot more of this before November, I'm afraid. Truss is on the Trump wagon too, for instance.)

This x 1000. Daly and her pals are a useful reminder that other countries have politicians just as ghastly (and just as monumentally thick) as any we can put up against them.

It is bold to tweet this with a photo that does not seem to assist the defence. (Their true offence, of course, was the you-know-it-when-you-see-it crime of being irritating, stupid, buggers. Three years.)

JK Rowling is a woman who long ago ran out of fucks to give. No wonder she must be traduced or, better still, burnt at the stake. alexmassie.substack.com/p/the-unbearab…

I've seen (and done) some brazen things over the years, but Team Badenoch releasing Liz Truss's lobbying letter on exports to China under FOI, and then claiming it was all a mistake, is right up there in the top drawer. Via Graham Lanktree's excellent sleuthing for Politico.
