Alasdair MackenzieBold book title from someone responsible for intimidating people from racialised communities with Go Home vans
Paul D'Ambra@AlasdairMackenzie they say "write what you know" good to see she's taking that advice

Ray Gulick, he/him/wtf 🇺🇦 ❌👑Trying to rewrite history or just that massively self-unaware?
Jamie Scott@rgulick She seems to be trying to present herself as some sort of social justice warrior on the basis of having occasionally hesitated over some of her successors’ policies
Sir David Nielsen@AlasdairMackenzie @DemocracyMattersALot look at that emotionless glare, a tarted up abuser.

WTAF.
The lack of self awareness hurts.

ersatzmaus@AlasdairMackenzie I mean, she would know, right?
@AlasdairMackenzie Just needs 'Confronting' changed to 'Committing'...
Nicole ParsonsBook deals are just one avenue for laundering the bribes and payoffs directed to conservative politicians.
In the USA, books deals for the corrupt are common. Dark money groups often bulk-buy these tomes to game the best-seller lists.
The mass publication of these right wing talking points are used to train ChatAI LLM's for online disinformation campaigns later.

TopWKone@Npars01 @AlasdairMackenzie mainly because there is no limit to how much you can earn while running for or in office.
So it is a great way to make you look good “best selling author” and to funnel money into your pocket.

Joanna Bryson, blathering@Npars01 @AlasdairMackenzie @paul_ward_irl is it worth saying that when I asked google to pay me for the work we expected me to do on ateac, they said ordinarily they just buy people‘s books?
@ NovaNaturalist🇨🇦🇩🇰🇬🇱🇵🇦🇲🇽🇱🇸🇳🇫🇺🇦🏳️🌈 #FBPE@AlasdairMackenzie she thought the naughtiest think she did was running through wheat fields, when it was her hateful racist vans.
The right wing often falsely paints itself as victims.
Theresa May is a member of a group intent on ending representative democracy.
Tories & Republicans do nothing but donor maintenance. Especially for their oil industry donors.

Stanley Q Woodvine@AlasdairMackenzie Possibly an editor shortened it, for the sake of punch, from "The Abuse of Power Heels"? https://www.thecut.com/2016/09/theresa-may-urged-to-stop-wearing-high-heels-to-work.html
AndThisIsMrsPeacock 🏳🌈@AlasdairMackenzie @RussInCheshire once described her as "a tottering mechanical seabird that has swallowed a kazoo" and I've never been able to think of her any other way since
⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@AlasdairMackenzie I assume it's an autobiography

@the5thColumnist yes, am assuming it’s a user’s manual
Oli@AlasdairMackenzie far from a fan of Theressa May but she did personally block the extradition of #garymckinnon - he would have died in the american "" justice system""
Any decent person would have done that - but there were plenty in the UK establisment working to appease the humiliated and vengeful US
There was considerable pressure from the #USA and UK to extradite him -
@AlasdairMackenzie this doesnt excuse her other mistakes and cruel policies but is *one* redeeming fact
@OliverNoble yes but she has quite a lot which needs redeeming!
@AlasdairMackenzie its interesting though , as is the fact that "human rights lawyer" #Starmer was very personally invested in extraditing him after promising US officials that he would 'deliver' #garymckinnon to his fate

Keir Starmer is a Long-Time Servant of the British Security State
Labour under Keir Starmer has taken a troubling flag-waving turn. But while his patriot act may in part be driven by political expediency, Starmer’s loyalty to the British security state has historically been strikingly consistent, writes Oliver Eagleton.
eduqate@AlasdairMackenzie I think it's a "how to" book.
Stephen Cox Author@AlasdairMackenzie
Civil servant. Minister, if we burn these crates of files, many of the Windrush generation will have not a single legal record of their entry to the country. After all, the UK invited them, and they did not need papers to come.
Minister. Burn the lot
Civil Servant... No legal proof...
Minister. Do it.
The Minister was Theresa May as Home Secretary,
ash@AlasdairMackenzie it's a tutorial
DogeMocenigo@AlasdairMackenzie @schrotthaufen unless it is an autobiography.
AGTMADCAT 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼🇵🇸@AlasdairMackenzie Hold up, is this *about* her or *by* her?
sleepy@AlasdairMackenzie @cstross this title is longer than her tenure.
Charlie Stross@sleepy @AlasdairMackenzie What, one word per year? (IIRC May was the longest-serving PM we've had since 2016.) I suspect you're thinking of Truss ...
@cstross @AlasdairMackenzie I must be confused, who was the one that didn't outlast the head of lettuce?
@sleepy @AlasdairMackenzie That was Liz Truss.
@cstross @AlasdairMackenzie ... liz truss.
