So, Kemi ‘No-Gaffes’ Badenoch tips another bag of Tory rubbish into the House of Lords, degrading the place again with some of the worst, most undeserving wingnuts going. Toby culture-war-dickhead Young. Therese sewage-enabler Coffey. Embarrassingly dismal choices by another dismal Tory leader.

1) This feels like really good, bold public interest journalism by the BBC! 2) If you were around social media / online publishing circa 2014 and followed The Social Chain, it was soooo baffling to watch his reinvention as a business guru. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“They get incredible bang for their buck these [Tufton St] think tanks. According to the IEA’s accounts last year, they got over 4,500 media hits the previous year. Which means they were on radio, TV, or print something like twelve times a day.” @petergeoghegan.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know. Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue. This thread reveals the truth.
