Quentin Letts has plenty of form as a C list asshole hack - been doing this kind of bullshit-to-a-deadline for years.

Loving the show :-)
Saw you in Tunbridge Wells the other week - fab

It's his brutal instinct. He's absolutely obsessed with being The Hard man. And his entire political mission, since the earliest parts of his leadership campaign has been to destroy the left. It's not even a secret.

Exactly how i feel.

Have it to read next. Saw her on South Bank reading from it 2 weeks ago. Great night. She reflected on her passport running out next year. Defiance, anger & determination. Queue for book signing was so long I *literally* left, had a sit-down pizza/dessert, returned & was the final one in the line!

🧵3. I was so touched. And I fought for the advancement of women in that company. The #2 in my team was a woman & I pushed hard for her to be made a Board Director too, with her own team. She did it. Her talent & ability were obvs key but I like to think I played a part. She went on to become MD.

🧵2. A few years ago I joined a company as a Board member. I was the 1st woman they'd put on the Board. One of my most powerful memories is a few weeks in.

Only one key watch out. It's written by two Times journalists.

I've read it. It's chilling. Starmer presented a principle-less, robotic, character-free bot. The aim was the total destruction of the left & they did it. Not once in the entire book is there any mention of aims or values - just power. Also one line in it reveals McSweeney to be a long standing GC.

Fuck Keir Starmer

I was wondering about that. I presume so, soon.
