While Braverman’s deliberately & performatively vile comments deliberately focused on ‘bogus’ asylum seekers, her complete silence about genuine ones is even more despicable.
And expecting France to do ‘more’ while there are no safe routes into the U.K. is surely pie in the sky.

Is there a precedent for a party conference hearing a speech that so completely contradicts the party line in that morning’s newspapers?

You wonder how Sunak can stand there, smiling along to this blatant racist dog-whistle. And then you remember that post-Brexit, whatever ethnicity you are, you can't succeed in the modern Tory party without appeasing and appealing to the people who love these racist dog-whistles. twitter.com/theousherwood/…

The MP who stated on Irish radio that all British people were automatically entitled to Irish passports & who lied under oath in the High Court has turned his hand to cardiac medicine. Pretty much standard in Brexit Britain. twitter.com/TheBHF/status/…

A patriotic thirst for some stability & good sense in government popped some rather rose-tinted spectacles on my bonce yesterday. I will be making amends from 10am.

It's becoming a regular occurrence, this. They *know* there are no safe & legal routes for most refugees & they *know* that the voters their policies are aimed at like it that way. They just can't admit it in public. Yet. twitter.com/Channel4News/s…

Looking at Truss’s CV, I’m wondering who actually ‘dismissed her potential’.

I presumed this wasn't real when I first saw it. Turns out Priti Patel really does think deporting refugees to sub-Saharan Africa is Christmassy. lbc.co.uk/news/priti-pat…

The caller, in his second language, was making a powerful & pertinent point that has been utterly vindicated by events. Johnson understands exactly what's occurring so makes a characteristically puerile 'gag' to undermine serious & important discourse. Hilarious. And here we are. twitter.com/AdamBienkov/st…

This Andrew Bridgen? 'A Conservative MP lied under oath, behaved in an abusive, arrogant and aggressive way, and was so dishonest that his claims about a multimillion-pound family dispute could not be taken at face value, a high court judge has ruled.' twitter.com/BestForBritain…

I often think about this interview, possibly more than any I've done with a serving politician. We recorded it in February & his quiet but steely confidence in his own competence & integrity has become more relevant & important with every passing month. He feels like an antidote. twitter.com/xtattsbox/stat…

It is, to say the least, odd to hear Jonathan Dimbleby fondly recalling his revelatory 1994 interview with Prince Charles while attacking Prince Harry for doing exactly the same in his book. Absolutely exquisite questioning, as always, by @MishalHusain on @BBCr4today.

There's a real resistance to accepting that *we* have somehow become as corrupted & venal as countries we used to read about; that it *could* happen here. It's a form of genuine patriotism, I think, this resistance. But it's looking ever more misplaced. twitter.com/PippaCrerar/st…
