The major lesson I have derived from the second presidency of @realDonaldTrump so far is, the ease at which kleptocracies can work with emerging plutocracies. #Corruption #Government #politics

@DailyMirror Perhaps his next proclamation will be that the legal system is just.

@Telegraph I would assign the same term to her being Prime Minister. She is reasonably intelligent, but her interviews are dull and unimaginative.

@UKinUSA @StateDept Perhaps @realDonaldTrump more recent behaviour explains why this is not such a surprise appointment.

@YvetteCooperMP That is a very round number. Do forgive my scepticism.

@Telegraph For this, the previous government must also accept its share of the blame.

@GBNEWS Is piggy banking, retailing banking, or economics? It is hard to tell in @RachelReevesMP world.

@RobertJenrick We had the rule of lawyers under your government too, although it is more brazen now. There is, and always has been, a vertically integrated enterprise of corrupt between politicians and the legal profession.

@MirrorPolitics I am sure they will thank him for the NI increase.

@elonmusk It was paid largely as compensation to the owners. Perhaps we should revisit the families and businesses which benefited?

@BBCShropSport @studunn21 It is fantastic listening to Ainsworth. You can take so much inspiration from him.

@RuytonShrew I think you have to appreciate how he has stepped up under Ainsworth.

@TomTugendhat Interesting work in one sense, but keep focused on WealthTek too.

@shrewsburytown You have credit John, as he has really stepped up after Ainsworth’s appointment and when the club needed him.

@business I doubt whether Lammy will be high up on the list of counsel for @realDonaldTrump

@trussliz @bankofengland But would there have been an LDI crisis without the Mini Budget? If so, what can we say caused it? Even Thatcher took her time. It was not until the second term that she unleashed her major reforms. You tried to do too much, too soon and failed.

@FootieNick @BBCShropSport @Ebenno88 Listening was my reward for going for a run in the cold north east wind. 😊
