Riddle me this: If the ULEZ initiative was created by Conservative Policy, introduced by Boris Johnson, backed by the Tories and enforced by Grant Shapps. How is it now deemed a policy of “the left”? Whatever your thoughts on it. Whether you agree with it or not. Facts are facts.

Jacob - Rees Mogg debating concentration camps in a measured, calm and empirical way is a shining example of what happens when wealth, family status and intelligence get conflated. No amount of mono-tonal debate would save his argument in my tutorial room.

There you have it. Stanley Johnson secures French Citizenship. Enjoying the wonderful qualities and freedoms that the EU has for its citizens and their families. The rich keep enjoying every single benefit. Convincing voters they don’t need any of them.

If this picture. If this scene. If this violence, was in any other part of the UK there would be 24 hour news coverage, calls for calm, peace, speeches for hours in Parliament. But because it’s Northern Ireland, what? Just a few words of “don’t do that” will suffice? Speak up.

It is believed that Russian backed hackers gained access to nearly all information on Liz Truss's phone, including a year's worth of messages. Sources say the phone was 'so heavily compromised' it has now been placed in a 'locked safe inside a secure government location'.

Downing Street must unequivocally confirm whether Boris Johnson travelled to Perugia, Italy this month. And if it is true. The Prime Minister must resign. No ifs, no buts. This must be the end of him.

Today across Twitter I’ve seen Leavers say: “we voted to leave. Stop treating us like idiots. Get Brexit done” Well may I also remind you that you, that your country, also signed an international peace treaty called the Good Friday Agreement that must be respected and upheld.

Anyone genuinely feel so beaten down by the last 6-7 years of U.K politics (to be fair the rest of the world too), that to even engage in the commentary of the Tory Leadership Race (with the two absurd choices, Sunak & Truss) just seems almost futile. Am I the only one exhausted?

If anyone dares utter the words “women are too emotional to be leaders”, I will just reference Jacinda Ardern smiling and calming stating “We’re just having a bit of an earth quake here” live on TV, versus Trump screaming “ASK CHINA” at his own press conference and storming off.

Yet Another Brexit Minister quits. It’s almost as though (and bear with me here, with my wild conspiracy theories) but hear me out. It’s almost as if Brexit isn’t working. Was never working. And was never going to work. A wild thought, but it could just be true #BrexitHasFailed

A government that can change laws without the consent of the people, simply because they - the rulers - don’t like them. Or they are inconvenient to their political agenda - is not a democracy. #DominicRaab

After: • 3 different Prime Ministers • 3 extensions • 2 Deals • 1 General Election • 1 proroguing of Parliament • a few lies to the Queen • numerous Court cases • 1 uncivil war; Some argue that a People’s Vote on Brexit would be a step too far. Infuriating.

Twitter friends! I’ve asked this before, this type of post has truly helped my account rework itself (post Musk takeover). With people not seeing tweets. Would be unbelievably grateful if you could engage again. So if you can see this, could you put an emoji 👇🏻. So appreciated!

Johnson has confirmed its new ‘Turnaround Tactics’ For migrant Boats. Stating “it’s what the public want”. Can every journalist, moral MP and citizen, directly challenge the Prime Minister on why he’s telling the world that WE want to threaten the lives of refugee. #NotInMyName
