Latest Launch! ⁠

Based on his riotously popular #TheWeekInTory thread on the platform formerly known as Twitter, Russell Jones aka @RussInCheshire offers us a rollicking, rip-roaring, impeccably sourced and blackly comedic first draft of history:

Tories: The End of an Error by Russell Jones — Unbound

Unbound is a crowdfunding publisher that gives people the tools, support and freedom to bring their ideas to life.

@RussInCheshire that's a shame I'm not on threads and I miss #theweekintory

RT by @catherinerowett: #TheWeekInTory is back, damn you

1. Britain faces a crisis in health, education, farming, energy, housing, childcare, social care, imports, exports, manufacturing, services, debt, growth and infrastructure, so Rishi Sunak announced his grand plan to slightly alter A-Levels

Very nearly swore bigly on Threads thanks to
the latest #TheWeekInTory
@witewulf
I do get that Mr Jones has no desire to duplicate his tomes of Tory tragedy over multiple platforms. I also get that we are in a state of fragmentation as we all search for a post-birdsite home. But surely the answer to fragmentation is to make #TheWeekInTory a blog, then post links across multiple platforms. Write once, link many should attract the widest audience.
@witewulf When Zucky adds #ActivityPub to #Threads you'll get #TheWeekInTory back again I assume.

Really disappointed that RussInCheshire has decided to paywall #theWeekInTory behind a Threads login.

It was always a good read, but I'm not bending over to Zuck just for that. There are so many other free, openly accessible platforms that don't eat your private data for lunch 😒

This is my first attempt to do #TheWeekInTory on Threads, and it might all go horribly wrong (although that would be on-brand for this government).

@RussInCheshire
Me too - followed the steps but got an ‘this promo code has already been used’ message. Never mind… reading the book got me so riled up lord knows what the audio version might have done.
Already practising calming deep breaths for #FourChancellorsAndAFuneral
Can I just check - where will the next #TheWeekInTory appear? Don’t want to miss it
FIIINE @RussInCheshire I'll get Mastadon... couldn't bear to miss #TheWeekInTory....
