The Roald Dahl rewriting thing feels odd simply because there are 42 new David Walliams books published every week that are stuffed with problematic drivel - often racism that isn’t even hidden. What’s the point of acting retrospectively if you don’t get it right in the present?

The big @timeshighered interview with @UofGVC, one of the UK’s most thoughtful vice-chancellors. On Brexit, he warns, “I'm actually of the view that we haven't seen the full economic damage. No, I think we're only beginning to see the tip of the iceberg.” timeshighereducation.com/talking-leader…

2/ Scottish democracy will not be denied. Today’s ruling blocks one route to Scotland’s voice being heard on independence - but in a democracy our voice cannot and will not be silenced. I'll make a full statement later this morning - tune in around 11.30am

The turd is being flushed. Rejoice …. Deluded ever to think he could be back. Good riddance to the worst PM in history of all those who lasted more than 44 days.

More than every other Conservative leadership contest (we seem to have every other year) this one is proving the utter selfishness of the party's leading politicians who are placing their personal careers and enrichment ahead of the interests of the country

Number of students currently studying architecture, building, planning and engineering = 245,395 Number currently studying "Harry Potter Studies" = 0

"The current system would rather our young people get a degree in Harry Potter studies, than in construction," says Higher Education Minister Andrea Jenkyns, who says that universities are feeding students "a diet of critical race theory, anti British history and Social Marxism."

Tragic news The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr) Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

I am sick of hearing that Brexit was the "will of the British people" when it was actually the result of a massive fraud.

When someone claims to have made a computer-powered "appliance" - a smart speaker or (ugh) a smart toaster - that can only run certain apps, what they mean is they've designed a computer that *can* run every app, but *refuses* to run apps that the manufacturer hasn't approved. 9/

Johnson should not be allowed to stay a minute beyond the decision to go. Caretaker should be appointed. He should not be allowed to use Chequers to write books at our expense. He should not be allowed to deliver resignation honours to put more spies, crooks, donors in the Lords

Isn’t it going to be quite hard for Tory MPs who’ve changed their minds about Boris Johnson and want a second vote to remove him to tell Scotland they have to live with the decision of the 2014 referendum for another generation?


Jamie Wightwick Reposted

In the end he has to go because he will lose ministers faster than he can replace them and Nadine Dorries cannot do all the jobs in government
