  1. I have a suggestion for the venue for this meeting of the brainless: Sunak’s office, where he can read them the riot act and threaten them with removal of the whip if they don’t come to heel.

  3. “We’ve always looked beyond the walls for the invaders,’ he said. ‘We always thought change came from outside, usually on the point of a sword. And then we look around and find that it comes from the inside of the head of someone you wouldn’t notice in the street. In certain circumstances it may be convenient to remove the head, but there seem to be such a lot of them these days.”

  4. Miriam Cates, Conservative MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, one of the #NewConservatives has said fewer care workers were needed to ‘make it an attractive career’ for British people

    She also said in June 2021, that it was wrong to protect the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic as in her opinion it only had a short-term impact on the "longevity of older people" and that emphasis should have been on "the long-term impact of lockdowns on young people's lives".

    Isn't she lovely 🙄

  8. Listening to #r4today on the wireless this morning, I learn of a new Tory faction - the #NewConservatives - who among other things wish to slash immigration by raising the minimum salary for a #SkilledWorkerVisa to near 40k English Groats.

    As well as decimating the #NHS, this would kill off #science #research, where the starting salary for new postdocs is less than the proposed minimum for visiting contract researchers. You can think of them as the #JuniorDoctors of academe.
