Reminder that in the UK an incoming radical, populist government would have immediate access to immense, unchecked executive power.

Thank you for voicing this. It is totally unacceptable for Wolfson to take this brief while Shadow AG! I hope to hear more on this and action taken, but we can be assured it won’t be from Badenoch. I see few UK news outlets are reporting it. The Mirror has:

@mrjamesob.bsky.social one for you to highlight as the rest of the MSM ignoring this story.
The Tories’ Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson, is representing Roman Abramovich in a legal case that is delaying the transfer of £2.5bn of assets to benefit the people of Ukraine.
I’ve written to Kemi Badenoch about the conflicts of interest this raises. 👇

@orwellprize.bsky.social why on earth is Gove one of your judges? Are you ok? Conspiracy or cockup?
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat.
This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026
