Looks like the investment zone thing is in the bin along with pretty much everything else introduced under Truss.

I said it the other day (and before lol) but this is what I mean when I say there’s no consequences for these people. They do wrong, just tell us they should get another chance and expect us to move on. Why is there never any repercussions!?

I think you say in this thread every day!

Can anyone suggest any pro-Tory or centre-rightwing twitter commentators for me to follow? Preferably ones that seem relatively intelligent (other than being Tory supporters of course).

My twitter feed and indeed all the tweets shared in this thread aren't very helpful for getting a balanced view on what the rest of the country is seeing and thinking.

It was meant as a joke, so I'm sorry.

I'll avoid commenting on anything you say in future!

All good. You said yourself "(and before lol)" so was just expanding on that really.

Fair enough 😀

Thought this was very clever in a 'fuck me we're a laughing stock' kind of way.

How do you get a big instant police response to a burglary, report it as loud music from an illegal rave.

You know as a, youngster he was in the SDP and spent years actively campaigning to beat the tories?

A long time ago when I lived in Eastville I was shocked at how quickly the coppers attended if you phone up in panic and say there are people in the house, a minute or two as compared to how it was if you found they had been and gone. 

Mind you they lost over twenty thousand coppers since then.

Obama is great.

They shut down a rave just north of here last night and found the numbers to do it.

I can believe that actually. One of those Tories who always seems a bit embarrassed by Tory ministers.

I'd rather they governed competently in the first place.

Considering the amount of voter suppression that seems to have been going on in Brazil Lula's doing well.

Fair shout. 

I can recall answering the phone to him when he was chair of the young social democrats, so as someone who didn't closely follow the transition to the Lib Dems I was a tad surprised several years later seeing him commenting on the comings and goings of the tories.

Result in Brazil is going to be so close.
