Equalities Minister \u2066@trussliz\u2069 says the government has been too focused on \u201cfashionable\u201d race, gender and sexuality issues and will now pivot towards focusing on poverty and levelling up. https://t.co/UOrxSapG7Z

So really simple questions
And there are so so many
Why are concerns over race, gender and sexuality put into air quotes e.g. "fashionable"?
Is "fashionable" meant as a derogatory?
Who are you selling this shite to when you write it this way?
When did the government become "too focused" on race, gender and sexuality issues?
Define "too focused" ?
Will now "pivot" - what you mean from today 17th December 2020?
Why could you not focus on "poverty and levelling up" at the same time as equality issues since some of these issues go hand in in hand after all?
Who and what are you "levelling up" from?
Can I be the first to congratulate Boris Johnson
On getting a "British shaped deal"
On a "gold standard" trade deal
On making the UK "mightily prosper"
/joking
He won't
But he will sell it as such
And that is all that matters
British PM Boris Johnson will visit India in January to boost trade ties, his first major bilateral trip since taking office https://t.co/EjfCeYAaNK via @bpolitics

This is good news
The securing of British jobs
Is good news
Though to secure them
It admits two things
1. They were under threat
2. Something was done to address that
This is a great vote of confidence in the UK and fantastic news for the brilliant @Nissan workforce in Sunderland and electric vehicle manufacturing in this country.https://t.co/W6nN1ki3Lq

Priti Patel
Is eager to divulge internal debate held in cabinet to bolster her reputation & get a boost for Tory leadership post Boris
“On ‘should we have closed our borders earlier?’ the answer is yes, I was an advocate [of] closing them last
So this is going to be a really simple thread
I have a larger thread on Priti Patel
Which we will come to at the last
But I want to focus on
“On ‘should we have closed our borders earlier?’ the answer is yes, I was an advocate [of] closing them last March.”
So I would ask of Priti
What evidence did you have that informed your advocacy?
Did you have (to borrow a phrase) an "absolute burden of proof"?
Was it just a hunch or belief?
Were you trying to "do-good" so to
Ian Hislop explains to Priti Patel why she's wrong about supporting capital punishment, but she disagrees claiming "absolute burden of proof" means innocent people will never be wrongly executed.#c4news @LBC #r4today #bbcqt #PoliticsLive #Newsnight #bbcaq #marr #GE2019 pic.twitter.com/dsQ98AzHQH
