Children of immigrants who despise other immigrants probably shouldn’t be in charge of immigration policy. They often seem to be dealing with personal issues that shouldn’t be anywhere near the political space. People who protected & defended their parents might do a better job.

Boris Johnson is, by some distance, the worst thing ever to happen to British politics. A serial liar, a proven cheat, an enemy of common decency. If he has finally buckled under the weight of his own depravity, none of his supporters should be allowed to forget their complicity.

Even I'm bored of pointing this out, but British politics broke when Brexit lies were presented by almost all of the British media as an equal & opposite counterpoint to reality, gravity, evidence & expertise. None of it can be fixed until the idiocy of Brexit is acknowledged.

@mrjamesob
It seems quite fitting that Boris Johnson’s final official speech as PM should involve barefaced lies about Gordon Brown & a suggestion that new kettles might somehow alleviate the impact of rocketing energy bills. Disgusting & ridiculous to the very end.

That Jeremy Clarkson column is right down there with the Hopkins one about cockroaches. Gobsmacked that it got published at all and staggered that the editor of The Sun wasn't asked about it by @bbclaurak on BBC 1 this morning. What an absolute shower of shite.

If committed Lib Dem Liz Truss had decided in her twenties to infiltrate the Conservative Party in order to become leader & screw it up from the inside, how exactly would she have behaved differently over the last month?

This deliberate & inciteful hatred of humans, in this case refugees, is all they've got. It's all they've ever had. It's how Brexit happened. It's how Gullis ended up in Parliament & Braverman in the Cabinet. It's disgusting & wrong & the next shameful chapter has barely started.

@mrjamesob
Beyond brilliant. These ludicrous discussions & pretty much all political panels dance around the fact that we’re governed by dissembling imbeciles propelled to power by the epic lies of Brexit. Presenters like @bbclaurak are complicit. @joelycett just found the antidote. Genius. twitter.com/BeardedGenius/…

This is gross. Utterly gross. It’s possible that the full, unedited answer might offer some mitigation but Braverman’s defence of using Nazi vocabulary to talk about refugees, in response to a Holocaust survivor, is just horrific. twitter.com/FreefromTortur…

A brilliant comedian went on the telly & pretended to be 'very right-wing'. He sounded absolutely ridiculous but also *exactly the same* as someone who really is 'very right-wing'. And that is why they're all so furious. It's not a mirror's fault when you hate what you see in it.

Not to rain on the parade, but it's possible that Nadine Dorries has deleted her Twitter account in order to prevent the House of Lords Appointment Committee from scrutinising the unhinged bile she routinely posted.

@mrjamesob
Not content with turning us into the first country ever to impose economic sanctions on itself, Brexiters have now executed the biggest self-inflected financial crisis in history. But they’re the ‘patriotic’ ones…

An unbelievably awful PMQs debut from Rishi Sunak. Like a tone deaf karaoke singer doing Boris Johnson's greatest hits.

@mrjamesob
It's just mad, isn't it? These people voted for everything they're disowning, campaigned on precisely the policies they're reversing & created most of the problems they're promising to fix. *For twelve years*.

One day soon, our children & grandchildren will look at the last few years of British political history and wonder, more than anything else, why on earth people like Nigel Farage, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Daniel Hannan, Zac Goldsmith & Digby Jones were ever taken seriously by anyone...

@mrjamesob
You really have to wonder just how bad things have to get before we can all agree that we really, really need to be in the single market

@mrjamesob
The day after a migrant processing centre was fire-bombed, the BBC gets Farage out of the crypt. How very, very stupid.

@mrjamesob
No matter how flowery your language or forgetful your fans, you can either respect the monarchy & revere the late Queen or you can send Jacob Rees-Mogg to Balmoral to mislead her about the unlawful proroguing of her Parliament. You clearly & categorically can’t do both.

Suella Braverman is now perilously close to making Priti Patel look like the second most callous & ignorant Home Secretary in living memory.

A corrupt Prime Minister, in cahoots with a vile propagandist, has spent huge amounts of public cash on a glorified press release designed to help him evade parliamentary scrutiny. Client journalists & morally bankrupt politicians plan to nod it through. They must be called out.

@mrjamesob
Sunak’s just rubbish. Completely rubbish. It’s an improvement of sorts on the depravity of Johnson & the weapons grade incompetence of Truss but, my gosh, the post-Brexit Tory party’s talent pool is barely a puddle now.

@mrjamesob
This Zahawi tax story really stinks. Sunak’s pledge to restore ‘integrity, professionalism & accountability’ has fallen apart faster than a Boris Johnson alibi.

@mrjamesob
If you think the people who voted to keep Matt Hancock in the jungle are easily manipulated, just wait until you hear about Brexit.

@mrjamesob
The terror of being trolled by morally bankrupt newspaper editors has prompted many organisations & institutions to cancel events that should clearly be going ahead. This tyranny of bullies who routinely whine about ‘cancel culture’ & profess their ‘patriotism’ insults us all.
