#theweekintory

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:

@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 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

@RussInCheshire Thank you so much for #TheWeekInTory! I started following you on Twitter during the "who will replace Boris" period, and you helped this Californian get up to speed on British politics. (I bought The Decade in Tory, too.)

@RussInCheshire Welcome! I've seen many links to #TheWeekInTory. I'm looking forward to reading it more regularly.

@RussInCheshire Hey Russ! Lovely to see you here; I hope you'll encourage more people to head over. Looking forward to the Mastodon version of #TheWeekInTory x

It's only been 3 days since I did #TheWeekInTory, but that hasn't stopped them. It hasn't even slowed them down. It's an absolute blizzard of chaos.

(There's a mistake in this - I refer to Johnson's time as Home Secretary, I meant Foreign Secretary)

For those avoiding the bird site, here's the thing on the bird site that you wanted to avoid the most - #TheWeekInTory

In lieu of #TheWeekInTory here's an thing about, oh, yknow, all this shit, and why it's no surprise

The person in #Politics I feel sorry for is the guy on #Twitter doing #TheWeekInTory but he's accomplished this herculean task in some style - only the 54 points this week including
"... 11. Despite all this, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Nosferatu attempting to blend in at a Bible Study Meeting..."

Hi everyone. Time for #TheWeekInTory, and then probably a bit of a weep.

God bless Boris Johnson for resigning literally 2 minutes after the latest #TheWeekInTory

Regardless, here's the stuff currently being drowned out by the albino Baloo. Enjoy, ideally with alcohol

@RussInCheshire I am so pleased to find you on Mastodon as am no longer on Twitter and missed your #TheWeekInTory

You thought you could hide on Mastodon? Too bad: #TheWeekInTory found you anyway.
