1584837405864910848 | Resignation statements, abbreviated. Cameron: Oops. May: I'm sorry. Johnson: You bastards. Truss: I was right. | 964 |
1468010062220247043 | Marshall says the Prime Minister instructed the evacuation of the Nowzad pets, despite FCO deciding they were ineligible. Doing so endangered British troops and took up capacity that had been denied to Afghan evacuees nominated by cabinet ministers. https://t.co/LboqAVBli3 | 497 |
1413155464632836100 | NEW: @ipsosmori polling for The Economist shows some Brits support anti-covid restrictions *permanently*, regardless of covid risk. Inc: - 19% for nighttime curfews - 26% for closing casinos and clubs - 35% for travel quarantine - 40% for masks https://t.co/bcYpSbCFNB https://t.co/I7K3fEn2YC | 409 |
1467987496772542470 | This testimony is jaw-dropping. https://t.co/1kEfP3ynul | 371 |
1370517994988789760 | I wrote about Brexit, divergence and the single market this week, so I had a rummage in the archives this week for what Boris Johnson used to write as the Daily Telegraph Brussels correspondent. And it was slightly more interesting than I’d expected. A little thread... | 321 |
1306522834110500864 | The convulsions of the past three years are due largely to the fact that enough MPs believed a US FTA was a bigger prize than the customs union and single market. That Britain could leap clean from one pillar to another. That bet is now collapsing. You’d be furious too. https://t.co/DnS63ENpXn | 248 |
1329916067821613057 | Blistering speech from the former MI5 chief on Patel, Jenrick, PPE procurement and chumocracy. A sense that “a culture of impunity seeping into British governance.“ https://t.co/U8MBPKUzyn | 238 |
1285896624208830466 | Clear from PMQs that Boris Johnson is very much looking forward to fighting the 2024 election against Jeremy Corbyn on a ticket of delivering Brexit. | 214 |
1618014476846133248 | News to me, at least. There was a full deal text done on Erasmus, and personally nixed “at the very last minute” by Johnson. A case of his personal decision to build a politically much narrower Brexit than could easily have been the case. https://t.co/FCpFUI5kB4 | 191 |
1573313430219784192 | Indeed the gulf in reactions between free market think tanks and the actual market is genuinely fascinating https://t.co/k6xZxhPYpA | 176 |

1621067067695984641 | Strangely enough, Lib Dem canvassers say the only thing that offended what until 2019 was known as the core Conservative vote (ie people with jobs, in offices) more than Partygate was being goaded for working from home. https://t.co/ffHtuy4ePD | 739 |
