@GeoffPolHist At least Scullin had a caucus of heavy hitters? Economic policy differences from the start? Lang-ites like an Abbott within? #

@SachaBlumen That's just for today. Sadly, Twitter is getting loopier. #
@SachaBlumen I suppose it depends on who you follow, etc, but I think it's a much lonelier & more hostile place than it was, say, 3 yrs ago. #
