Funny how Tories used to complain about the "undemocratic" EU. Turns out the EU is a lot more democratic than the Tory Party!

if you want to know what a long week it's been, Kwasi Kwarteng was still chancellor 7 days ago

In one sense, I’d love to see it. In another, it again starkly highlights what a shitshow FPTP is. Tories on 15% should have 90–100 seats. Hey – if this polling sticks, perhaps the Tories will put through a PR bill to avoid electoral wipeout, eh? Stranger things and all that…

so here's a story I volunteer helping seniors with their technology issues. One of my regulars came in with a Lenovo laptop. It still had a retail sticker; I imagine she bought it used, for over $500 "I bought this so recently, how is it already so slow," she asked me

I doubt he'll stand but if the Tory party put Boris Johnson back in charge I'm going to become one of those people that stands outside Parliament shouting all day.

Everyone: Surely the politics in the UK can't become even more ridiculous and awful. UK: Hold my lettuce.

Understand some MPs have been privately talking (very informally) about ways to possibly kill off the privileges committee to stop it causing trouble for Boris Johnson

In the Levelling Up Bill Committee yesterday, I proposed an amendment to make all train stations meet disability access standards. Disappointingly my amendment was defeated by 8 votes to 6, with every Tory MP voting against. All train stations should be accessible for everyone.

Another ridiculous aspect of the Tory Chaos is that in his revenge, Johnson (reportedly) offered dissolution peerages to 8 loyal MPs so that Truss would have the humiliation of losing lots of by-elections. If he returns as PM, it'll be he who faces those. #GeneralElectionNow

I have written to the Foreign Secretary about the 16-year-old Palestinian boy Shadi Khoury, who has been detained by Israeli authorities. The numbers of Palestinian children subject to military trial, detention and ill-treatment is deeply concerning. Read my letter below:

Illegal meat found in trucks coming in from Dover. MP says it shows UK should not rely on EU for biosecurity. But a reminder that Rees Mogg pushed back checks on imported goods to 2023. At time Chartered Institute of EnvironHealth said delay could have public health consequences

Rob Ford spot on: "He isn't popular. He never was. He can't govern. He can't unify. Scandal & chaos follows him wherever he goes. And enough Con MPs know all of this to leave him unable to govern from day 1." @robfordmancs
