@timothy_stanley All of the people INFURIATED that the will of the Commons was being stymied will now, naturally, be delighted to respect the will of the Commons...

@timothy_stanley Look at us in Scotland. A unicameral Parliament is an open door to corruption and gross idiocy.
Whether it be Lords or otherwise, there needs to be a second house to temper the excesses of ideologues.

@timothy_stanley The latest cohort is exceptionally weak, and the fact it came so far is testament to that. Argument and reason overshadowed by toxic empathy and narcissism in many cases.

People said "how can the Lords reject/delay something the Commons wants: isn't that un-democratic?"

@timothy_stanley @jtworr This is ill judged to say the least, Tim. A personal friendship you may have with James Orr does not excuse his behaviour. He boasted of his proximity to Nigel. He engaged in possibly illegal behaviours to influence others & get his party in power. That i

@timothy_stanley @jtworr Goodness sake, Tim. Sorry - this is daft. It’s irrelevant whether you know him, this stinks. It all stinks. And you and Camilla fawning over Reform in yesterday’s Daily T was weird.
What we have seen is possible illegal activity by the powers that be in

James Orr, @jtworr, made a mistake, and knowing him, he’ll be mortified. But nothing was done for personal gain. He’s a superb academic, too insightful & valuable to be written off over this. I hope he’ll find a way back.
As ever: “kids, don’t do politics!”

Nuanced and moving Substack piece by @roddreher about @jtworr, as a man and a friend, aside from any politics or scandal. He writes:
‘There will no doubt be people in the days and weeks to come who say, “James Orr? Never knew the man,” even though they were friends. I am not

I see Mr Austerity has found the budget for some Louis Quinze chintz.
A lesson for conservatives: just because someone knows his Milton doesn't mean he's your Friend, man.

Watching political exposés is always a depressing reminder of the clubs & restaurants I'm not invited to.

Amusing as this is, the Trump administration has ended asylum for Haitians, threatening to expel 300,000 people - some in the US since Obama - to a country so dangerous that the deportation flights cannot land at the capital airport. https://t.co/EDKTIoqlLW

If a conservative is a liberal mugged by reality, a liberal is a conservative arrested by the American police.

@timothy_stanley This is why I can’t be a Christian like you Tim. I lack the ability to forget or wave away things like him describing the ERG as worse than the Nazis.

@timothy_stanley Well deserved? He tried to scrap jury trials ffs! A good man? One of his last acts of ‘transparency’ was to run to the courts to prevent crime stats relating to migrant offending being published.
