None of this hullabaloo is about protecting women. It's about reifying gender roles and femininity.

I’m not saying it’s like the last days of Rome or anything but they’ve decided to replace Lee Anderson with this as the Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party. This is not a drill. Please assemble at the nearest muster station.

Chris Patten has just murdered the party of which he was Chairman. It’s all in here - the bilge of Brexit, the worst foreign policy error ever made, and the insanity of the right wing cult’s grip on this once great political machine. Pure gold, spread it.

In a country with a functioning democratic system and somewhat healthy political culture, people like this would be shunned and ostracized, a party elevating them would not be considered a viable option by anyone but an extremist fringe.   America, however, evidently has neither.

This is extraordinary. Notable also that Donelan’s published retraction rather underplays the events described here. I wonder whether *anything* is a resignation issue in Rishi Sunak’s government…
Michelle Donelan, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, has today tweeted a full retraction of her false allegations about Professor Kate Sang and agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to her. Read more here: bindmans.com/knowledge-hub/n…

Teesside Freeport scandal is not going away.... Oh no.... @MattWestern_ MP ⏬️
Raised Teesworks again today. The public can see it for what it is, yet more Conservative cronyism...but the Leader of the House says it is value for money..but it’s not for the public. They’re making a 35% profit! It’s even more than Mone! Teesworks = industrial scale scandal

At #PMQs I asked the Prime Minister if the Conservative Party were illegally scraping data - from a link he tweeted on the 6th January. The @GoodLawProject have already launched a legal challenge against them regarding the cookie policy on their website. My question👇🏾

Sorry. Maybe I have false memory syndrome, but I don’t remember the Brexit campaigners during referendum warning companies that cost of doing business was going to rise steeply and become ever more bureaucratic. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention
"Businesses are used to the costs of doing business" Dame @andrealeadsom MP tells @KayBurley businesses need to "adapt" to leaving the EU single market and the rising cost of checks on food and plant imports as a result of Brexit. trib.al/vkgFnyi 📺 Sky 501

This must be satire? Live tweet feed of the DUP meeting, including the 'mayhem' caused by the fact it's being live tweeted! And the confiscation of phones, accusations it's the police leaking. And the live tweeting continuing...

If you live in a Tory "Special Economic Zone"....or what I prefer to call a Tory Thief-dom 😡 Watch out as Michael Gove quietly changed law so that business, agri and residential properties can be "acquired" by govt. It's called a corrupt Land Grab in my dictionary Be EXTREMELY concerned
Replying to @carolvorders
Gove updated his Leveling Up Bill last Oct to include a section on Compulsory Purchase Orders, business, agri, and residential properties can be 'acquired' by the govt to aid 'economic growth'. See for yourself, corporate governance in full swing👇🏻 xitter.cf/EuropeanPowell/status/…

I am historian Kemi, and I teach the British Empire to university students. I’m sorry to have to tell you that, for over 30 years, I’ve been updating my reading lists in the light of new research. Please can you tell me which year’s lists I should go back to for my students to get a correct and complete account? Or maybe you’d prefer I just stick with 19th century writers like Charles Dilke, who wrote of colonialism being necessary to ensure “the defeat of the cheaper by the dearer peoples”? @Sathnam @Keir_Starmer
Kemi Badenoch, "The only people who are stoking culture wars are the people who trying to change what is written in our history books, what's in our museums. And when someone comes along and says actually this is fine, we're the ones accused of being culture warriors"

Aha.... The bloke @mwilliamsthomas who filmed the laughable "investigation" (marketing video) of Michelle Mone & husband, and then took money from them as payment himself🙄 Was calling me "a troll" who's "lost all credibility" back in September... It all adds up now eh Mark?

I've just spent 5 minutes trying to find the source of the most horrible screeching sound emanating from my radio. I then realised it was Ann Widdecombe banging on about how successful Brexit has been. God help us.

Jenrick is raising the stakes somewhat by comparing woke elites to 'Communist subversives', as this justifies more strenuous countermeasures than simply frowning when the National Trust points out that its properties were owned by slavers.
These stop-the-woke opeds can all be pretty derivative and boilerplate, but this is an interesting paragraph as a statement of intent

More Brexit chaos. More Brexit costs. Dearer food prices on the way. And yet Labour supports Brexit. Ludicrously, Sir Keir Starmer says “there’s no case to rejoin the EU.” The case is overwhelming. And in Scotland we’ve a Brexit escape route: independence & back into the EU.

The people who once cheered Priti Patel to the rafters are now denouncing France for refusing to increase the Freedom of Movement of British expats there by extending visas to 180 days rather than 90. But you know what? France is exercising the same sovereignty as everyone else.
