RT @michael_hal: Too much made of personalities and identities in Tory leadership contest rather than ideas and abilities to lead in a period of instability. Commentators wanting their fave to get a Cabinet post as some kind of vicarious thrill isn't politics. More like football or reality TV.
RT @guy_herbert: Important. Do read.
RT @danielmgmoylan: About 20 years ago, @PennyMordaunt was appointed Director of Comms at @RBKC Council. After a few months she had to be let go for sheer incompetence. The thought of her running the country fills me with terror. @DavidGHFrost is spot on.
Ouch. @DavidGHFrost making it clear Brexit not safe in Mordaunt's hands (and she was his deputy). Not prepared to make tough discussions. Excoriating review.
RT @TalkTV: Ex Cabinet minister Lord Frost has "grave reservations" about Penny Mordaunt becoming the next PM.
"I am surprised at where she is in this leadership race. She was my deputy. She wasn't fully accountable or visible. I had to ask the PM to move her on"
@JuliaHB1 |…
RT @realchrisrufo: The anti-critical race theory campaigner @kemibadenoch could be the next Prime Minister of the UK. Listen to her incredible speech denouncing CRT:
RT @christopherhope: EXCLUSIVE Pictured tonight outside the Commons - leadership rivals @KemiBadenoch and @SuellaBraverman. Both are fighting on tomorrow.
@SteveBakerHW, who took the photo, tells me: "This is the future of our country and our party. Enduring friendship despite our differences."
@AThebrexitparty @tomhfh Neither do I
@gazmus1 @Iromg @TalkTV @willgeddes @GaryLineker Ahh Gary; yiu joined our conversation, not other way down. I will take my lead from you and use the block button. But generally my advice is not to get so angry. Better to argue your point calmly than yelling abuse on twitter.
@nirvanafeelsli1 I have.
@LauraMK20 Sadly true.
I spend more than that on buying cigarettes. Are Gov going to do affordability checks when I buy fags; or indeed buy clothes/meals out/ treats I can't really afford?
RT @RacingPost: Government proposals include background checks once a punter records a net loss of £125 a month or £500 in a year.
New information on the gambling review has emerged 👇
RT @1supernotts: How to destroy a industry
RT @MartinChapman12: Auntie Ethel goes to bingo twice a week , plays the fruit machines and the cash bingo games they play before and during the interval for the proper games…Guaranteed she does more than a monkey a year.
RT @KemiBadenoch: This would be the right move. The bill is in no fit state to become law.
If I’m elected Prime Minister I will ensure the bill doesn’t overreach. We should not be legislating for hurt feelings.
@memeXchange Agree
@HartofBuck @911Amelia @TalkTV Thanks for noting that
RT @nmdacosta: Rare for @benjamincohen and I to agree but he’s right that people are surprised. I was in May’s government when self-ID legislation - reform of the Gender Recognition Act - was under consideration and Penny was the minister taking forward consultation. Never got a sense of this
@Drusilla_S_ Good. But after recess, let's see who is running the country, and whether they have a censor's or free speech instinct...
RT @christopherhope: Wow! I am picking up pressure tonight from ERG sources for Suella Braverman, Liz Truss and Kemi Badenoch to merge campaigns and blow Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt out of the water. #ToryLeadershipRace
One can only hope. But not holding my breathe yet.
RT @eleanormia: Hearing that the Online Safety Bill has been dropped from government business next week with a view for it to "come back in the autumn" (aka when there's a new PM
Read: it's being dropped
Pretty key piece of govt legislation gone
