@Samfr @wtfrench76 What label should we use to criticise those rich enough to be outside the tax regime of any nation state via tax loopholes and offshore investments?
English
Anyone saying "globalist" as a term of abuse is using an anti-semitic slur and shouldn't be invited to appear on radio/TV in any capacity.

@trevhewsongy @MarxMedia @SkyNews It appears he showed up twice in September; #n4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theyworkforyou.com/search/?pid=10…
English
@MarxMedia @SkyNews He’s been on his holidays again whilst the country was in disarray. Love to know how many times he’s been to Parliament since the summer. Absolutely gives no shits apart from himself.
English
Absolutely staggering @SkyNews that a national broadcaster should treat Johnson’s flight home as a major news event. He couldn’t buy this kind of presidential coverage.
English
@DuncanWeldon Possibly. My reading is that he's refusing to commit to any single measure not being reversed because he doesn't know which ones will be reversed. Either because he's not been told or, more likely, because decisions haven't been made. But he's maximising the wiggle room.
English
Reverse the tax changes and claim that the main point is unchanged? Maybe?
English
This *sounds* like an argument that actually the main point of the mini budget was the energy price stuff?
Sam Coates Sky@SamCoatesSky
😳 Are you going to stick with the mini budget? Fast forward this clip to 1m 02s and start there for a clear @KayBurley question curiously guarded answer

@xtophercook My corporation tax return is a real waste of the time I could be entrepreneuring, psyched to hear I don't have to do one anymore.

Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng "are challenging the orthodoxy and that's bound to wind up a lot of people," says economist Julian Jessop, who advised the prime minister before she took office

Pannick Attack!
Aubrey Allegretti@breeallegretti
As we revealed a few weeks ago, privileges committee has drawn up a rebuttal to Lord Pannick - now published They say his legal advice "is founded on a systemic misunderstanding of the parliamentary process and misplaced analogies with the criminal law". twitter.com/breeallegretti…

@Samfr Didn't @DavidGauke quit a few minutes before Boris Johnson became PM?
English
Is that the first time someone's resigned before a new PM has even started?
Christopher Hope📝@christopherhope
NEW The change in Government has already started. Lord Harrington, the Minister for the Ukrainian refugee programme, has quit this lunchtime before a new Tory leader is announced. @Richard4Watford says someone else can now take over, with the sponsorship scheme set up.

@oldandrewuk @supermathskid @jenfuristired @Miss_Snuffy You've failed to complete the reading for this lesson? That's a detention. Also your attitude is too disruptive for this social media site, either try harder or find a different one.
English
@supermathskid @jenfuristired @Miss_Snuffy I haven't read all your screenshots, but they seem to be evidence the school enforces rules not evidence that they force children to leave.
English
I truly feel sorry for anybody who has to attend your school
Katharine Birbalsingh@Miss_Snuffy
Hard. Go on school websites. If they use ‘creativity’ or ‘tech’ a lot, avoid. Do they care about tradition? Uniform important? Homework? Assemblies? Do they mention order, discipline, reading, maths? Watch the kids outside the school on street. What are they like?
English
@MLBrook Presumably if you don't graze the field it gets overgrown and shades the panels?
English
One of the things I find most confusing about this is just how often I see sheep in fields containing solar panels.
Adam Bienkov@AdamBienkov
"I think one of the most depressing sights when you're driving through England is seeing fields that should be full of crops or livestock, full of solar panels," says Liz Truss.
English
@Samfr This may go some way to explain why she's considering breaking up the treasury...
English
If you take all the current and former cabinet ministers backing Truss and other leadership contenders like Badenoch and Braverman it adds up to more than the total number of cabinet positions - they can't all get a top job.

@Samfr Fabricant as ethics advisor? Is Neil Hamilton not available?
English
Just prepping myself for the announcement that Fabricant has been appointed ethics adviser and Daniel Kawczynski the anti-corruption tsar.
English
@jr_pritchard Once the Tory leadership election starts it's coup or nothing
English
Then you hear that Johnson means he’ll stand down in the Autumn and you realise it’s yet another Johnson attempt to stall in the hopes he can find a way to survive.
Jonathan Pritchard@jr_pritchard
HE’S RESIGNING!!!
English
@JolyonMaugham What's the point? No Tory MP will support it. Steal the order paper, table a humble address asking the Queen to appoint Raab (or literally anyone) as caretaker PM
English
Me: "Right I've finished the script."
producer @caithanrahan: "OK, move onto the next one."
It's that kind of day.

Help us resolve an important dinner time debate. Is a taco a sandwich?

@JustRowena I _think_ the quotes mean you're supposed to read it in a pejorative tone of voice as used by misogynists - a "women's issue" in the sense of something trivial that only women care about as opposed to a women's issue, an issue that disproportionately affects women
English
@lewis_goodall I noticed that too. Strange that the the word "yesterday" appears in the printed text though. But I don't think it's surprising it was written in advance - who wants to make a snap decision to resign and draft a difficult letter at 4am?
English
Intrigued too that the letter’s date has been written in…was the rest of the letter prepared before?
English
BREAKING: Conservative Party Chairman Oliver Dowden resigns: "We cannot carry on with business as usual. Somebody must take responsibility and I have concluded that, in these circumstances, it would not be right for me to remain in office."
Oliver Dowden@OliverDowden
My letter of resignation to the Prime Minister.

@ZaltzCricket You may mock, but having only just found out about Gilbert's record I'm quite pleased it's still intact
English
@jr_pritchard I'm no Colleen Rooney, but you'd think the Met might have considered looking into this "but we were doing that thing you've decided was illegal literally every week" defence a little deeper than they seem to have done
English
“It wasn’t a special party, it was just the regular Friday drinks” really doesn’t make it better.
English
@JustRowena I think there's an argument that the scams are deliberately unbelievable so that only the most credulous get hooked. Plus, I guess people who don't shop online don't have internet banking and won't notice the scam until their next statement comes in the post?
