I gritted my teeth and watched this trailer: my Outrage Meter has exploded.

Morrissey's Brexit. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog analysing this week's developments, including the Windsor Framework vote & Privileges hearing, and what they mean for Brexit populism, organized via The Smiths' song titles (read it to find out why): chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2023/03/morris…

“Like ⁦@RevRichardColes⁩ I also feel sad that @BBCRadio4 never announced my exit from ⁦@BBCFrontRow⁩ & persuaded me not to say goodbye after 19 years.” What is it with the #BBC these days? ⁦@thatkirstylang⁩ theguardian.com/media/2023/mar…

@MichaelSadgrove @RevRichardColes @BBCRadio4 @BBCFrontRow @thatkirstylang Same thing happened when Radio 3 suffered upheaval. It was reported that management people were in the studio to make sure that none of the old 'outgoing' presenters made any reference to the fact that this was their last show.

@StortfordAndrew @GuidoFawkes Half a memory from half a lifetime ago: In view of the settlement time with barristers' fees (not received until after a case is settled), there are particular rules about just what year they are due to be assessed in.

@GuidoFawkes People often account for income on an accrued basis - ie reflecting the time the work is done rather than when it is invoiced or paid. This could trigger a tax liability (although not familiar with barrister specifics)

@JohnLoony Common expression.

On #TheApprentice they were talking about “spit and sawdust” as if that means something

@syptweet 'Parson Cross' (sic) is not a very useful indication of location.

Detectives investigating a suspected arson in the Parsons Cross area of Sheffield on Tuesday (21 March) are refreshing their appeal for witnesses and any footage which may have captured what happened that evening. More here: orlo.uk/Y1TUF

@IntranetFocus @RCO_Updates Or - playing a Bach trio sonata and dictating a letter at the same time.

@tristramc @IanDunt I never believed that he did. Had he actually had Covid (with hospital treatment), his later conduct would have been different.

I get why people are mocking this, but it's kind of an admission of defeat from the Mail, after many inglorious months trying to protect or exonerate him. If there was the slightest chance to publish JOHNSON VINDICATED they'd have done it.

@FT That's been the only certainty in the whole process.

Just in case you were worried you were being gaslit by @SuellaBraverman with her media junket showing how "beautiful" refugee homes were in Rwanda... Her photo op was in a brand new residential housing development NOT housing for asylum seekers! newtimes.co.rw/article/193573…

@Ekklesia_co_uk They're merely upset that they've been found out.

@PeterStefanovi2 Sorry: tried to watch it, but gave up after 3 seconds.

Wow. After introducing his guest as “a particularly distinguished professor of economics at Kings college London” Jacob Rees-Mogg squirms as he’s told some hard truths about the damage of Brexit. Watch in disbelief at what comes next

@squarebistro @SkyNews Give me a ‘T’ Give me a ‘U’ Give me an ‘R’ Give me a ‘_ . .‘ What have we got? Sue Ellen!!

@SkyNews What a rotten person!!!

Home Secretary Suella Braverman 'delighted' with Rwanda partnership which she says, will create 'secure haven and home for many thousands of people'. Read more: trib.al/YF5I4if

Johnson’s defence against Partygate allegations is absurd taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/03/1… Johnson”s defence to accusations on partying requires that we believe he was in special category of people, all on his own. That is insane.

@SRoyChowdhury01 @Barristerblog @ProfDaveAndress Time top send her back. To Pakistan.

@Telegraph Give me a ‘T’ Give me a ‘U’ Give me an ‘R’ Give me a ‘. . . ‘ What have we got? Sue Ellen!

Suella Braverman was so impressed by the decor of the Rwanda homes being built for migrants deported from the UK that she joked she wanted the name of their interior designer #Echobox=1679151666-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…
