Analysis finds the rise of “muscular unionism” is out of step with public opinion and there is a “striking ambivalence” to retaining the union in its current form

For me, the best twitter (as was) moment was on the day Boris Johnson resigned.
That morning I sent him a tweet telling him to sling his hook and called him a 'sledge'..a super rare word that my art teacher used around 40 years ago to disparage Welsh schoolkids in art class.
Johnson, in his resignation speech requested an end to 'the sledging'...my arrow went true to his heart ...my proudest moment.

Unfortunately not unique to the #us ! Had #BorisJohnson been regarded more seriously earlier he would not have been able to wreak the havoc that he did.
[Moconomy] summarises how super wealthy backed think tanks and the ERG (party within a party) steered #Brexit after the #EURef to become the disastrous hard Brexit that the UK has today and which only a minority of wealthy elitist special interest groups will benefit from

I've been watching "A Spy Among Friends" recently.
Gripping stuff.
And it's sweet to see how back in the 60s, everyone lost their shit about a couple of intelligence agents working on behalf of the Russians.
Now we have Prime Ministers working for the Russians and nobody seems to care.

#MPs paid £10m for second jobs and freelance work over past year
#BorisJohnson’s extra income accounts for almost half of figure, of which vast majority was made by Tory MPs

Is this a yYoung GCN? If so, screw you, Boris Johnson...

And just an afterthought… If anyone’s going to be paid £250K for eating kangaroo plums and bits of an ostriches arse, why not let members of the general public appear on the show and try for the money if they want to? At least the cash would be going to a better cause. #liztruss #borisjohnson #imacelebrity #itv #politics #antanddec

For any kind people out there who occasionally read my random rants, please sign and share. Seeing Johnson and Truss being paid a fortune to appear on ITV isn’t my thing. Even if they have to eat a kangaroos privates.

Angry, shouty, narcissistic,
slogan-coining, false, simplistic,
pathologically liars,
noses long as telephone wires,
strangers both to being upfront,
both claim stitch-up, shout ‘Witch hunt!’
Likely facing their come-uppance,
still they will not give a tuppence.
EXCLUSIVE: Now the #UK Government is demanding Boris Johnson's #Covid19 era #Whatsapp messages back from it's own Covid-19 inquiry.

This is because the
#conservatives have just one councillor left - with #labour forming the official opposition to a #libdem #green joint administration! This situation - which dates from the #LocalElections2023 in #england - may be a harbinger of a wider collapse in the #conservative political heartland of the rural #homecounties .
In which case the #newt has had the last laugh on him!
Hope no #vigilante calls my #toot #speciesappropriation !

1/ More on the story about #BorisJohnson having his application to install a swimming pool turned down by the #localcouncil in #south #oxfordshire . He has in the past complained bitterly in public about #planning #legislation protecting "The Great Crested Newt" in particular but does not seem to have used the rather large parliamentary majority he enjoyed in recent years to do anything about it. He would have been unlikely to have had much leverage over the #localcouncil .

@oliphant Oh, I assure you it's front-page news here in the UK, too, just as Trump's daily outrages were front-page news when he was in power. (And they had a corrosive effect by giving cover for #BorisJohnson to behave as badly as he did). The difference between our countries is that I've never met anyone who has a kind word to say about #DonaldTrump. Opinion here is pretty well unanimous: that he's a lawbreaking liar who must never be put in charge of anything ever again.
At the cost of having cited the #bbc as a source for this story - and doubtless being abused accordingly! - I should add that #BorisJohnson's predecessor as Mayor of London was rather in favour of newts.
My phone decided it was a good idea to make a movie of my finest #BorisJohnson moments made with #aiart using #midjourney and it was right!
Enjoy

Remember #bojo #borisJohnson #UK #primeMinister, almost dying from #covid19?
It was a complete lie, a pure fabrication to shift the public perception about his situation, and the danger of #SARSCoV2 ...
They know we will not believe them anymore, so they want to take all power.
Be aware toothless, slavery is coming for all of us.

In other news, Charlotte Owen, former 'adviser' to Boris Johnson, has just taken her seat as the youngest peer in the House of Lords. (Quiet at the back, she's NOT his illegitimate daughter).
Also introduced as a peer to the house was Ben Houchen, Mayor of Tees Valley, and described by Andy Mcdonald MP as involved in 'industrial scale corruption'.
#BorisJohnson still treating us with contempt.
