You can sense the palpable despair of most of the broadsheet punditry as it dawns on them that Liz Truss is in all likelihood going to be Prime Minister and will probably go on to smash Keir Starmer in the general election.

You may dislike the current incarnation of Labour and deplore their Brexit position. You may believe that one Tory MP more or less makes no real difference when we're facing a Labour landslide. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The huge prize at this election is the Tories coming THIRD.

This is why Labour are so nervous about Thursday.

I find this 'the ball is in your court' stuff really childish tbh. If both sides recognise a mutual interest in coop, then both sides have an interest in finding ways to do so. 'You left, so you propose stuff' is a weird way to deal with a new gov none of whom backed leave.

Who do you think should be the next American President?

Jeff Bezos has forced The Washington Post - the newspaper he owns - to not endorse in a presidential race for the first time 36 years because he’s worried Donald Trump will take away his government contracts. RETWEET if you think Jeff Bezos is a disgrace to democracy!

I hear that #ElonMusk has named his son X. I look forward to the day when the rebellious teenager changes his name to Twitter.

Looks like fascism to me. Especially all those good burghers sitting on their hands. That really has a 1930s Germany vibe.
