The thing that really stands out from writing about the Tories since 2010 is how arrogant, incurious and contemptuous they are w/r/t the country they feel they have the right to rule.🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼for an extinction level event today! It really is nothing less than these idiots deserve.

Martin Amis’s friends and family will gather for his memorial service tomorrow. I spoke to Tina Brown, Andrew O’Hagan, Rose Tremain and other friends about how his death has felt representative of a wider loss in the culture. Free to read @thetimes https://t.co/YyhWLMFa1G

This is truly sinister behaviour from the Starmer team and, I suspect, will backfire. I don’t want to vote for a party that behaves this way.

The full ten minutes of @faizashaheen on #newsnight. Faiza gave this interview only an hour after being told her candidacy had been blocked for liking a tweet. The people of Chingford and Woodford Green have been done a terrible disservice. https://t.co/tYZ4ybr4xg

Genuinely sad about this. The Standard has always had a long streak of insanity and has been catastrophically mismanaged over the years. It was also an institution. It shaped so many incredible journalists, past and present. I loved it. I had a total riot working there.

Once again I have to wonder, why are people more angry about a statue being vandalised than a neo-natal ward being bombed? Why does the murderous violence of the Israeli state seem to fade to insignificance next to a few students with slogans?
