#OTD 1979, Margaret Thatcher inherited a fractious, bankrupt, declining country. Eleven years later, she left it prosperous, confident and free.

Quite something to hear @Keir_Starmer, who opposed every loosening of the lockdown, complain to @BBCr4today about “low growth” and “the cost of living crisis”. What does he think caused them?

I envy the certainty of the absolutists on both sides of the abortion debate. I find it a difficult and delicate issue. About the only thing I can say with certainty is that, precisely for that reason, it should be decided by accountable representatives, not judges. #RoeVsWade

He’s still doing it. I don’t blame Angela Rayner. She made a jokey comment which was then reported without context. Of course she’s cross. But for Starmer still to be blaming sexist Tories *when he knows that the source of those comments was his own deputy* is beyond dishonest.

Looking at what has happened to people's numbers since @elonmusk's bid went ahead, I'm starting to think that the Leftiness of Twitter owed a great deal to its algorithms - algorithms that now seem to have been hastily junked in anticipation of a new boss.
