Johnson didn’t just normalise bullying, he defended & promoted it by leaving Patel in the Home Office & accepting Alex Allan’s resignation. It would’ve been such an easy win for Sunak to turn the page but, even *after* sacking Williamson, he’ll be covered in the same corruption.

Rishi Sunak, meanwhile, demonises nurses as the enemies of 'hard-working people', actively seeks strikes in the hope of scoring cheap political points & relies on right-wing Enlgish media to misreport everything.

He doesn’t accept the long term damage done by Truss & Kwarteng either. I sometimes wonder how much of the utterly delusional politics we now endure is down to Brexit’s denigration of experts & how much is down to Johnson’s constant bare-faced & consequence-free lying. twitter.com/skynews/status…

What is the age above which it's officially OK to be blatantly racist and is Nigel Farage above or below it?

This is an unbelievably appalling intervention from Braverman, full of lies & misinformation about 'safe & legal routes' & built upon the premise that she can somehow construct a more effective 'deterrent' to small boat crossings than the fear of death.

Tax implications aside, lobbyists being 'seconded' to government roles is obviously appalling. Whose interests do they serve, the country's or their company's clientele? You'd have to be a secretly-funded 'think tank' shill to argue that it could ever be both... twitter.com/Gabriel_Pogrun…

This might be the most compelling & convincing critique of British media ever provided by someone who really knows what it’s like to be in their jaws. Fascinating & tragic that they have all the papers on display in every palace every day. No wonder they’re so obsessed by it.

Absolute bollocks. They completely understood but thought they could somehow bullshit & bully their way to an alternative reality with the connivance of the right-wing media. And, for a while, they did. But here we are. twitter.com/DJBond6873/sta…

A sad but helpful reminder that our national corruption, denigration & degradation does not depart with Johnson. His sycophantic supporters will always pretend that he was something other than demonstrably disgusting. twitter.com/Geoffrey_Cox/s…

The material risk to U.K. financial stability is, literally, the government. The tribalism & weaponised ignorance that brought us directly from Brexit to this must surely be close to collapsing under the weight of its own ‘achievements’. twitter.com/LBC/status/157…

Boris Johnson’s ‘honours’ list rewards stupid and/or dishonest people for helping to sell Brexit to the population. Even as its inevitable consequences continue to tear apart his party & our country.

Has anyone else ever left *three* separate governments in disgrace? Needs to be different Prime Ministers to qualify, obvs.

It's hard to pinpoint precisely when Trump's depravity made supporting him disgusting & unforgivable. The 'muslim ban', 'pussy-grabbing', attempted coup etc. For me, sitting down with Alex Jones was a point of no return. UK & US media is still full of people who waved it through.

@mrjamesob
From the NHS to GDP, the abject abandonment of truth & observable reality demanded first by Brexit & then by the elevation of Boris Johnson created a culture in which Tory politicians & their media cheerleaders now see bone-headed denial as a valid response to any crisis.
