NEW: Britain’s grim winter of strikes, falling incomes and a worsening NHS crisis is not some unfortunate series of events It’s the inevitable result of a decade of Tory austerity that steadily weakened the state’s capacity to respond to shocks enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re… Thread:

Thank you @gezmedinger - such an interesting piece to write, and a question I’ve been wondering about for 2.5 years
Here’s the spread in the Telegraph today. Amazing to see this level of attention from traditional print media, and particularly given the article’s focus on the long neglected issue of ME/CFS.

This is horrifying
As the Conservative party begins the process of electing another leader – and therefore, a de facto election of the Prime Minister – here’s a summation of our application for judicial review on the way it elects its leader. 🧵⬇️

What is so striking is how many conservative mps are still talking about what is “ best for the party”. It’s a real give away - that party still seemingly comes before country and constituents and democracy.

This is one of the funniest pieces of live radio you’ll ever hear. And the animation adds an extra layer. #Radio #GerryAnderson

Literally the nightmare isn't it, having your song used as campaign music by your enemies. I will stick to my lifelong policy of never writing uplifting bangers, while extending nothing but solidarity to those who write uplifting bangers.

There are sharks on the highways in Florida. Unreal.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The user is joking but plenty of users are taking this Tweet as fact, as they have for dozens of storms before Ian. This is a manipulated photo with a long history on Twitter. mashable.com/article/shark-…

Maybe a probationary period for Prime Ministers is worth a shot?

Horrifying
It’s hard to overstate how scared people are right now. Filming in North Tyneside today, the first 2 people I met - a shopkeeper of 30 years who said he may have to close, and a working 60 year old who can’t pay her energy bill - burst into tears when I asked how they’re coping.

A quick request, we have a mentee on this year’s programme who would love to become a chef. Does anyone know any Black women in the food industry who might be able to spare an hour a month to mentor her? Please do drop me a DM if that might be you!
