Liz Truss reminds me of a Tory leader, but it's not Margaret Thatcher. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Constitution was followed, but many principal-agent problems in #lka. MP votes are bought / horse-traded w impunity here. Many feel the very instruments (elected reps) intended to convey their preferences have undermined those preferences & so parliamentary ‘democracy’ too.

"Boris Johnson still hangs over" the Tory leadership contest. Andrew Marr explains how Johnson has been attempting to control the leadership election, for example, by targeting Penny Mordaunt in a "ferocious" manner. Watch here: youtu.be/dH7CaSYMH2Q

This clothes, schools and fashion conversation is ludicrous. I would be deeply bewildered and depressed if I was in the debate and trying to land policies with 20 minutes to go and the whole subject lurched to clothes and schools. The Rest Is Politics #torydebate

Can we please get back on how they would actually run things? Their record? Their future performance? This is supposed to be a job interview and it is sliding into clothes and irrelevance #BBCOurNextPM

Good responses from Rishi to Andrew Neil about inflation. Where is Liz Truss ?? #LizTruss knows she could lose against Andrew Neil #andrewneilshow #RishiSunak #Ready4Rishi #ReadyForRishi #channel4

#RishiSunak responding well to battering by Andrew Neil Channel 4 News

#RishiSunak on #NHS “no one should have to go private” Yay! Andrew Neil Channel 4 News

@conservatives #RishiSunak has an answer to everything Andrew Neil raises. His intellect is at a different level and he won’t be bullied. #LizTruss won’t turn up 🤔

Short thread on a scary but believable story. As we saw already in 2010 with arrest of Sarath Fonseka, not even the most diehard nationalist or “war hero” is safe from political-legal victimisation in #SriLanka if they cross someone in or close to the highest office in the land.

#lka realise that todays economic crash is the culmination of culture of entitlement corruption and collateral based expenditure bribe giving taking. education sys symbol only 40k uni places. ppl now real world 74 years later where they realise there is nothing as a free lunch

#SriLankans demand a “radical system change” and the voters must elect someone who can deliver that, former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga said. #LKA #EconomicCrisisLK #SLNews #SriLanka economynext.com/sri-lanka-must…

Is #britishcouncil in #Colombo fit for purpose? #bureaucracy, #fcouk, #ukhighcommision, The Rest Is Politics

Hope Nelly is reunited!! BBC Breakfast Richard Frediani one for you!

Terminal2@Lisbon airport IS awful! TAP Air Portugal Ryanair ETHLisbon 🇵🇹

Well he was fluent, informed and persuasive. I think he’ll keep his friends on side, and may well persuade others to vote. Can’t see Starmer being as strong #panorama

Great response from Sunak on national service #bbcqt.
