NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

Correct. And I understand that you probably need to kid yourself that these ghastly scenes have nothing to do with a gawky, misfiring ex-MP who is now taking a bit of much needed time for himself. But just in case you missed it, Greg, the two biggest factors in what we're seeing here are the abject poverty that was utterly compounded by 14 years of austerity, and more importantly, the foregrounding, demonising and scapegoating of immigrants for short term political gain that was gleefully engaged in by almost the entire Conservative party, while you were its chair.

Confirmation today that Brexit considerations were high on Sunak’s mind as he left early. He stayed for the “ British “ celebrations but the rest, organised by the Europhile French, was marked “ optional”. He left. Where europhobia leads.

A warning for anyone standing in the background while Sunak pleads for people to vote for him - if you don't look enthusiastic about what he's saying someone on his team will get a text telling them to block you from view...

I understand that a number of Conservative MPs are looking to remove Rishi Sunak as leader of the Conservative Party and replace him with Kieran McKenna.

Both the greatest strength and weakness of the Conservative party is its lack of ideological coherence. Take Danny Kruger, who represents the "conservative" extreme. A true traditionalist he apparently believes the Enlightenment was a step too far... 1/ bylinetimes.com/2024/02/22/f…

Dear 🇬🇧,
@RishiSunak & @Jeremy_Hunt promised they would dramatically increase med school spots but have funded only 350 extra for next year. So with our current staff haemorrhage, we’ll still be losing docs and won’t break even. Nothing they say is trustworthy. Nothing.

I am complaining to the BBC directly-this should not be allowed to happen-I thought this matter was still under investigation therefore silence should be maintained-she should not be allowed to use a public service this way-if you agree please repost & tag BBC services in

NEW - THE VIP FILES
Part One 🔍🗄️📂
I'm working with @goodlawproject on never before seen data about the VIP PPE Lane.
#TheVIPFiles today...
🔹 £3.8 billion contracts for Tory associates and donors for just PPE through the VIP Lane and the govt went further
🔹It turns out the Government massively overpaid on stock through the VIP Lane too....by at least £925 MILLION.
🔹On average the cost per item of PPE through the VIP LANE was 80% MORE than through the USUAL NHS supplier channels.
🔹Sometimes it was much higher.
🔹For instance, the price of a protective gown through standard suppliers at that time was £5.87.
🔹Through the VIP Lane, Meller Designs Ltd was paid more than twice the price at £12.64 per gown.
🔹The company made unprecedented profit that year.
🔹David Meller (of Meller Designs) an associate of Michael Gove, has donated almost £70,000 to the Conservative party since 2009.
🔹More than a quarter of the VIP Lane stock WAS UNUSABLE.
🔹Another company based offshore in a tax haven received an enormous contract and yet £145 million of their stock was useless. The referral for that company to the VIP LANE came from a Tory adviser to Liz Truss.
🔹All these contracts were given preferential treatment even tho most had no previous experience in PPE.
🔹A company was 10 times more likely to get OUR money through the VIP Lane than through being a usual NHS PPE supplier.
@RachelReevesMP has committed to appointing a Covid Corruption Commissioner if Labour wins the next election.
We'll be passing our discoveries to her.

Apologies, but this is going to be a lengthy thread on @BBCNewsnight #Newsnight. The truly terrible decision to axe 34 of its staff, cut it by 10 mins, cut its original reporting and investigations, and to change its format to 'studio-based debate' format. 1/22

There’s an elephant in the room here… the counter-protests that you mention in passing are racists, fascists and football hooligans, partly whipped up by your incendiary rhetoric over the past 10 days. Especially your claim that the Cenotaph was under threat - which it wasn’t 🐘
