Commenting on a current set of leading Tory MPs, I described them as "Temu Tories", reflecting their lack of quality relative to some Tory politicians of old. I think I'll use this epithet more often...

🚨🚨 Today's under-reported but quite significant #brexit news: UKG government will scrap border checks on fruit and veg imported from the #EuropeanUnion in an early move to ease trade ahead of its new SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) deal with the EU. 🧵 www.gov.uk/government/n...

Let's face it. The only chance the Tories have of not being completely annihilated is to do a full 180. Stop wirh the reform tribute act. Go back to defending the rule of law & defending free trade and making sensible economic decisions like rejoining the EU Their only chance.

I’m still trying to understand why the UK allows the price of renewable electricity to be set by the price of gas, when renewable electricity is so much cheaper. I mean I understand why energy companies do it, to make more money, I don’t understand why we let them www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-wh...

17 years on, the Tories still paint the £45 billion bailout of RBS as a once in a lifetime economic disaster that proves Gordon Brown was a terrible PM. Brexit costs just as much every 19 months. Tories spent last week demanding we keep it. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
