Le Royaume Uni complètement raide dingo.
Démissions en cascade, Liz Truss obligée de s’excuser pour sa nullité, les conservateurs en burn-out, Boris Johnson appelé au secours, élections envisagées, Labour aux aguets…
🇬🇧🤪
Et pourquoi ce bazar hallucinant?
Un seul mot: BREXIT.
Conservative MP Charles Walker seems broken by tonight's events - tells @BBCNews he is livid with colleagues

Cabinet split on making life tougher for people on benefits who are struggling to find anywhere to live. New research by @TBIJ for @C4Dispatches (tonight 7.30 Britain's Evicted Kids) shows only 1 affordable rented property in Cardiff or Bristol, 0 in Swindon or Ipswich or...

Could you find a home to rent in your area if you were on benefits?
@TBIJ reveals it’s impossible for those on housing benefits to find a home to rent across large swathes of Britain ✋

The PM has been forced to abandon her unfunded tax cut for the richest 1%.
But it comes too late for the families who will pay higher mortgages and higher prices for years.
The Tories have destroyed their economic credibility and damaged trust in the British economy. 1/3

It should have been obvious this would age badly. Local journalists interviewing the PM don't have to worry about losing access or a social backlash. All the incentives point in the other direction: they've got one shot and they're not going to miss

It's OPERATION ROLLING PARTRIDGE!!! Liz Truss is going to hit BBC •local radio• stations this morning where a bunch of sleep-deprived non-expert presenters will throw her soft questions, while she dodges the heavy hitters. (h/t @politico )

Worth repeating. Take all the tax changes coming in over next few years and:
If your income is < £155k, you lose
If your income is > £155k you win
If your income > £1m you gain more than £40,000

£45 billion of tax cuts. This is biggest tax cutting event since 1972. Barber's "dash for growth" then ended in disaster. That Budget is now known as the worst of modern times. Genuinely, I hope this one works very much better.

A graduate earning £50k will pay a *higher* marginal rate (51%) than someone on £150K (42%)
A graduate earning £25k will pay a 40% marginal rate, just 2 points less than top earners.

Before the bandwagon rolls on, some awkward questions for the parties and the Westminster system
1) was this the summer where the Conservative Party prized its constitutional processes above that of the country’s wider needs?
2) why did the contest need to take so long?

Deportation of asylum seekers should shame us as a nation.
Our Christian heritage should inspire us to treat vulnerable people seeking asylum with compassion, fairness and justice.

BREAKING: The entire senior leadership of the Church of England (every bishop in the House of Lords) has joined to decry the Rwanda scheme as "an immoral policy that shames Britain" in letter to @TheTimes thetimes.co.uk/article/immor…

Punishing those fleeing conflict zones by deporting them to Rwanda and leaving them there won’t stop the smugglers. It will just push up their prices and the dangers of their trade. #safePassageNow
