@ConnorAllenEU A compromise would be the German system where both the President and Parliament have a role in appointing the Chancellor.

@SimonSt51662750 There is no mystical law of the universe that says the Head of State must appoint the Head of Government. I accept that, as a matter of fact, is most common and will be.. until things change.

Going off to resign to the Queen is outdated nonsense.

We're a parliamentary democracy. It would make more sense to give a resignation to Parliament, and for Parliament to appoint Truss as new PM.

RT @favershamfocus: Cuts the Kent's buses have been appalling.

We used the Scrutiny Committee to force a reconsideration. It must be looked at today by Kent CC's Cabinet.

In the past Opposition members have been allowed to address Cabinet meetings but the Conservatives have banned that today!

This is costing the govt (and taxpayer) far more than @TheCriminalBar is asking for.
RT @juroberts_julia: A jury has been discharged today from a trial which sat for one week, was then delayed by barristers' action last week, and now can't go on because of indefinite strike. New trial date? November 2023. Date of offence? March 2018.

@crimlawuk Yes, with an exception for circumstances such as applied in 1916 and 1940.

Today is, apart from anything else, good riddance to Boris Johnson. A man of deceit, hypocrisy and self interest.

It's almost as if countries are interdependent and we would benefit from an international organisation in Europe that brings countries laws and policies closer together, you could call it a European Union 🇪🇺? Could we 🇬🇧 join?
RT @andrew_lilico: When you boil everything down, UK citizens are going to suffer a lot this winter because the German government screwed up its energy policy.

Well done @JoSidhuQC for your leadership of the CBA which broke new ground in pursuit of a just cause, #legalaid, and good luck to next Chair @Kirsty_Brimelow

@MichaelLCrick To be fair, isn't the same as political commentary referring to "since 1945" or "since 1979" etc? Of course things happened before, but it can make analysis more practical.

Astonishing the government press office didn't put you forward..
RT @mariacaulfield: It is not true that no Government minister was available to do media this morning on the energy price cap increase. I was on @LBC this morning to discuss this . No one else contacted me for an interview but I was available

@amcarmichaelMP has confirmed to me that the @LibDems party leadership agrees with the @TheCriminalBar that the govt should have implemented the Bellamy Review in full, when it was published and govt should do that now as CBA is asking.

@HannahPerkin There must be a tremendous gap in the market for voices you could download to read your emails, like people use to for satnavs. Homer Simpson, Darth Vader, Winston Churchill, Dame Edna, Jean-Luc P, Dobby... I would set certain people's emails to be read in certain voices.
