As you rightly say, that is absolutely chilling.

Sounds perfectly reasonable - got to maintain standards, and everybody has a breaking point!

I think Neil needs to take a good long look at himself. He’s let you down, but also let himself down!!

What on earth was going on there?!

Can’t say I blame you - some of the nonsense on there is pretty outrageous. Enjoy the calmer waters where the sky is blue!

Good for you. Have you left twitter for good, or just taking a break?

How are you doing Julia - thought I would ask after your tough time at the “other place”!

That is a phenomenal letter. I’m sure it was very difficult to write, but it really is breathtaking in its unambiguous dissection and take down of Mr Kennedy.

It will indeed Neil - it will do very nicely. That could so easily have been a 4 point switch the other way today.

I agree Gregor - they don’t seem to come at it from a left or right angle, more just outlining what we should expect of public servants and where (and why) he fell so far short.

I agree he is awful - but it says something that I view Truss as even worse! How far have we sunk! Did you see “The Rise and Fall of Boris Johnson” Rachel? It was a 4 part documentary (Channel 4 I think). Really, really good, and gives lots of insight into why he is as he is. Worth a watch.

One of the all time greats in my opinion. I would say it’s never been more relevant than it is now. Although it’s a superb book, I have to say my favourite of Orwell’s books is Animal Farm.

I’m sure he would appreciate that - after all, what’s not to like in a lemon drizzle?!

I agree wholeheartedly Chris. The debate in my mind is what would I feel if something like this did come to pass - something I was so fervently against. Would I support the team in the same way. I genuinely don’t know (and having supported Liverpool for 50 years that’s a big call)!

I really worry about the US, and therefore the world, a great deal with this deluded fool in charge. Very scary times.

I guess it’s a double edged sword though Tom. Maybe more are giving to charity since there is a greater need for charity to fill gaps that the state perhaps used to fill? Eg some countries have lass charitable giving because there may be less need?

Quite right - I think that was a very scary day for American democracy, and I have to say I’m not looking forward to the next 4 years!
