The first verse of "Moving on up" is very apt for Truss
👇
You've done me wrong, your time is up
You took a sip from the devil's cup
You broke my heart, there's no way back
Move right out of here, baby, go on pack your bags

There were many big follower accounts, & people in publishing who critiqued the book. More so,
in fact. One person dissected every page and posted fully about it. We came to it days after it started. Yet its only our accounts being investigated by PIs, and named by press.

What the people stoking these flames should ask themselves is - why is it that out of the dozens of people who critiqued the book and the hundreds who signed the open letter, it is three WoC whom you continually single out for opprobrium? twitter.com/chimenesuleyma…

Kind of incredible that a journalist has shared this document as fact, with phrasing that says I claim to be Black, & was mocked for such an obvious lie on my part. Ofc I’ve not claimed this. In actuality it erases that alt right accounts were writing the n-word in tweets to me.

Great stuff from Owen. Mogg’s really not very bright. And the Wodehousian faux posh voice does little to enhance his credibility as he runs from scrutiny. A perfect front man for this ludicrous but dangerous UK Government. #Indyref2023

I challenged Jacob Rees Mogg about Tory plans to cut benefits.

Sure sure we are going to launch austerity projects that will predictably kill hundreds of thousands of people and demonstrably don't even have the economic benefits they are pitched as having. But! *But*. Have you considered that we will also launch asylum seekers into the sun?

Think it's quite funny that "we want to grow the size of the pie so that everyone gets more even if they don't get a bigger slice" has been very standard anti-redistribution rhetoric for, like, my whole life, but suddenly people are taking extreme umbrage with its central conceit

Sayeeda Warsi repeatedly explained Gove is a crazed counterjihad Eurabia-thesis wingnut freak who taints and distorts everyone around him, horking up insane racist freakouts. Her audience of people like Dave are absolutely fine with that and they don’t see a problem with it.

Wasn't there at least one infamous scandal at some point during the 12 years of Tory failure when it turned out that they were in fact deporting *too many* people, quite maliciously and deliberately? No, you are imagining this.

It often strikes me how much of our political discourse involves commentators making hugely moralistic points at the expense of other people that could with equal justice be made about themselves.

journalists were appalled for 100+ articles that a white woman was being challenged on twitter for racially insensitive language. but its fine and normal when woc authors are singled out by a private investigator to see if they can be believed on their experiences of racism? wow.

it’s going to take a while to fully comprehend how unsafe and sinister it feels to have a paid investigator monitor, for weeks, what you said about the racism you experienced. in order to discredit it. this is a horrendous feeling.

Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights grants the right to seek and enjoy asylum from persecution. This right, in addition to the right to leave one's own country (Article 13), and the right to nationality (Article 15), can be traced directly to the Holocaust.

Uh… if someone is ‘topping up their salary with benefits’ then that means they *are* working, right? They are fit to work and able to work and do work.
It’s just that her government decides to subsidise the most parasitic miserly businesses rather than raise the minimum wage.

When you watch Russian propaganda, it always comes down to "we have to slaughter and annex Ukraine to stop gay pride parades in Moscow."
Putin-aligned conservatives are *so* afraid of LGBTQ people the desperate insecurity reaches across oceans.
Quote Tweet
Witness a steady diet of upside-down propaganda fed to the Russians: head of RT claims the West is supposedly trying to "colonize & enslave" Russia and other countries. Without a hint of awareness, she unwittingly describes what Russia is doing to Ukraine and why Ukraine resists.

We'll see. The director of Transgender Trend just made a documentary with notorious antisemitic conspiracist David Icke so I mean... they might not be in the best position to take advantage.

There are four battling branches of Tories:
1. Trads with an endless belief in their right to rule
2. Spivs who believe only in wealth
3. Politicos who seek a career in gamified politicking
4. Ultras driven by bullying hate
Brexit 'done', they have lost their common ground.

This Tory conference is so amazingly messy I still can't believe it's real. Ministers going completely rogue, MPs barely here but still throwing shade left, right & centre, Tory members downing champagne while half laughing/half crying "we're all f***ed". It's WILD

I find it perfectly possible to get up at 6 and work hard all day and also not want other people (whether they be in work, unemployed, disabled, a carer, a child, or whoever) to starve and freeze; and I'm offended by the suggestion that I'm somehow incapable of basic empathy.

Had she said "Oh god! I didn't realise those clumsy words were so loaded. I've learned and will do better", she'd have a modicum of respect. But she seems intent on setting fire to get reputation, in the name of saving it.

I'd never heard about her before this, but her reaction, more than the initial words she wrote, have cemented an idea of her as an unhinged, bitter, conspiratorial and unrepentant racist.
