“People of the UK: hold your nerve”

“Hold your nerve, I’m down to my last £730 million.”

That the Tories have brought us so low should give everyone - including Conservatives - pause for thought. #shameful #C4News

A majority Tory audience and not one raises their hand in support of the Rwanda policy. Not one. Meanwhile some will claim that they have the country’s overwhelming support.

That's how the whole Ponzi scheme worked. Borrow lots money say about £64bn and instead of investing it in the company pay it to yourself as a massive dividend leaving future shareholders to deal with the car crash you created. Now if the regulators had been doing their job?

Feeling nostalgic and sad as I pack up my office after 20 odd years in it. GoodbyeHarcourt Hill, hello Headington I suppose. 😢

Thought I’d look at the cricket score to cheer myself up.

Thanks to Sally McKone for helping me move office stuff this morning, not least of which was #Medea. Now, where to put her? (Think she might have views on this question!)

Australia thoroughly deserve to be booed off. #ENGvsAUS

I do hope the Tories put Mercer up for more TV as the election approaches. "Hold your nerve" says the £100,000 a year man to his constituents, most of whom are on wages way below the national average.

Tory MPs really are something.... "Minister ordered Home Office staff to paint over art for children at asylum centre. Robert Jenrick ‘said pictures of cartoons and animals must be removed'." inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

Entirely pointless, unseemly, and costly legal battle, with minimal prospects of success, does not, in fact, succeed. At huge , and entirely self-inflicted, reputational damage to Sunak's government. ~AA

Sitting on a train where the doors won’t open. Is there any aspect of this stupid country that actually works? #ToriesOut

Ugh, when you log into Twitter, and that X pops up, it feels like going into a secret Nazi site...

So much great feminist writing out there at the moment. This by Clare Chambers is a model of clarity & precision. It’s also a great example of why #philosophy matters. #feminism
