I'm curious as to how a "mini reshuffle" is going to "shake" up the "No 10 operation" and the day-to-day "delivery" of PM’s priorities. It's all fucking word salad which is going to achieve fuck all. And, yes, I am fucking angry.

Granted many accounts are like this, but I'm thinking of people I used to follow on Twitter, whom I really liked, but who accrued a large following which they then seemed reluctant to lose. Some of them got BlueSky accounts but didn't post much here - if at all.

I think a lot of it is not wanting to lose followers. For some people who have a large following, this obviously overrides any ethical or moral concerns.
