December issue of @CounselMagazine interviewing Tim Otty KC on Ukraine/Netherlands case against Russia is powerful advocacy for European Court of Human Rights which no mainstream British political party should undermine.

Quite . On a more positive note for @Conservatives, they’ve now also “lost” (😂) @danny__kruger.

New @AsgardStorage “police preferred” metal Garrison workshop “reinforced” “to keep thieves at bay”. Asgard boast about the lock but …duh. Tools nicked were 10% of the cost of the shed: better to replace padlock on wood shed than be lumbered with this waste of money

‘Brexit was a humiliation’ and other revelations from Angela Merkel:corroboration of what was obvious from the start of @David_Cameron Tory leadership. Quitting @EPPGroup was one way road to failure. He trashed the UK’s polity.

One good start with @KemiBadenoch - affectation of the glottal stop (prattishly affected by twits like @George_Osborne who knew be’er) over, now with clear (not gratingly Thatcherite) vowels and consonants. But so much @Conservatives baggage: as she accepts.

.@PrivateEyeNews notes that only Putin’s Russia quit European Convention on Human Rights. Why do so-called @Conservatives like @theresa_may (who let in so many Russians) want to copy Putin?

Sad to learn of the passing of Michael Ancram. We need more
statesmen as civilised and useful - in keeping with a distinguished tradition in his family - as was he.

While speculative, this is a pertinent test.

A statesman would and should have stayed longer in France. That properly said, Sunak is not overall the affront his Bullingdonian predecessors were: there should have been more, but he has nonetheless brought some constitutional and external normalisation.

Far-right ID group expels Alternative for Germany: this is a party with whom Cameron took the Tories into alliance politico.eu/article/far-ri…
English
Vennell’s evidence graphically illustrates how those of insufficient talent & moral compass have been over-promoted in the UK. Many retiring MPs are as bad: would it be triumph of hope over experience to think their replacements will be better?

A prime minister standing in pouring rain with jacket visibly drenched & with blaring & hostile background music aurally drowning him out is not the most auspicious or professional start to a General Election campaign.

Brexit/2016 referendum were fatally flawed. @anandMenon1 creditably built up @UKandEU but, like others chose not to be inconveniently prescient on Brexit’s transience: as folk chose not ignore Cameron’s party alliance with Putin/AfD etc.. If anything, Curtice is too cautious.
UK in a Changing Europe@UKandEU
🗣️ “I think the 2016 referendum is going to be as unsuccessful as the 1975 one". 👉As featured in Playbook this morning, Sir John Curtice predicts that there may be another EU referendum before 2040. 👀 Catch up on last night's Unlocked here youtube.com/watch?v=W4C4fA…

Headline grabbing cheap politics. Police/CPS already have all the legislation they need to prosecute offenders who assault shop workers & Judges have the requisite sentencing powers as well.
The Secret Barrister 🦋@BarristerSecret
This is an astonishing waste of time and resources when the daily operation of the criminal justice system is in chaos. Assaulting shop workers is already an offence. It is already punishable by up to 6 months’ imprisonment. Indulgent, posturing nonsense.

.@David_Cameron “compares Putin regime to Nazi tyranny”: but you sustained formal alliance - a human rights alliance at that - between your party and his until some weeks after his Crimean invasion. When was your alleged Damascene moment?

If the public knew what stunts Cameron pulled in quitting @EPPGroup and setting up a hard right essentially pro-Putin political alliance in Europe, they would share some of my profound anger with him. He chose - had no need - to go where he did.
UK EPP 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #FBPE #WeStandWithUkraine@UK_EPP
So says he who as conservative leader and PM had his party in formal alliance with Putin’s, had Conservative Friends of Russia (ie Putin) on his watch, delivered Brexit, helped Putin’s allies across Europe etc. etc. etc.. Sickening hypocrisy.
