Harry Quilter-Pinner of the IPPR think-tank: "The rules should be changed so that Elon Musk cannot give £100m to one political party, either through X or shell companies. We need a democracy that is driven by people and not by money."
Grateful for the opportunity to meet @rozzthomas and @Bruce_Bucknell - two outstanding British diplomats who served as ambassadors to Belarus. Thank you for your contribution to relations between our peoples and for your continued interest in the situation in Belarus.

Lord @RSkidelsky (letter @FT 10 July: ‘Seize peace in Ukraine before it’s too late’ - see link) makes the astounding claim that: “If peace based on roughly the present division of forces in Ukraine is inevitable, it is immoral not to try for it now”. /1. ft.com/content/90185a…

Much as I idolise Ian, it’s a classic illustration of the mindset of many progressives towards the SNP that in a single tweet he can both acknowledge the damage of Brexit and imply that Westminster bears no responsibility for anything that’s gone wrong in Scotland. THREAD
And there's Flynn's bullshit right there, for all the decent talk on immigration and Brexit. When it comes to his government's failure, he blames Westminster. The same message of grievance and pass-the-buck irresponsibility as the populists.
