It's reported today that Graham Norton has deleted his Twitter account after being bombarded with negative responses to this clip... twitter.com/bmay/status/15…

Imagine not being 'talented' enough to get a job in this Cabinet...

One of the most enduring legacies of Brexit is the licence it gave to imbeciles to spout gibberish without consequence. twitter.com/AdamBienkov/st…

So farewell then, Matt Hancock. I wonder whether your constituents will notice that you’ve gone. Except that pub landlord who miraculously got that juicy PPE contract. He probably will.

Whose turn is it to be Chancellor of the Exchequer today?

Cast a cursory glance at Mail headlines over the last few years - from ‘Enemies Of The People’ to ‘Lefty Lawyers Have Blood On Their Hands’ - & appreciate the level of hypocrisy required to now be calling for a single lawyer’s paid for opinion to override parliamentary procedure.

Oh boy. I think Nadine Dorries might actually be better at TV presenting than she is at politics.

A bit surprised by the complete lack of schadenfreude at Trump finally being abandoned by Murdoch & falling apart in public. The number of still influential people in America & the UK who cheered on a blatantly dangerous & disgusting world leader remains absolutely terrifying.

I think we’re in one of those historically, constitutionally *and* politically significant periods where Parliament must act to protect the population from government. The problem is that the population’s depending on politicians who waved through Boris Johnson’s myriad offences.

Everybody knew *exactly* what they were voting for. Very 'condescending' to suggest otherwise... twitter.com/McardleTrevor/…

So, finally, we can agree that no TV or radio producer or presenter should book a 'guest' from @iealondon, @CPSThinkTank, @ASI, @the_tpa, @Policy_Exchange unless they are trying to mislead their listeners/viewers. I have no beef at all with people who didn't get this until today.

An absolutely incredible story…

@mrjamesob
Every decision Boris Johnson makes serves his own short term gratification. The lies, betrayals, deaths, moral degradation & denigration of public decency this spawns bother him not one jot. But I’m *still* surprised by how many other people are similarly blasé about the carnage.

@mrjamesob
Asking where a non-white British person *really* comes from is the slightly sanitised equivalent of telling one to go back to where they came from. That's why this story is boiling so much racist piss. It strips their bigotry bare.

@mrjamesob
They used Farage's base racism to get Brexit over the line. Some of them quite happily, some of them holding their noses. Then Brexit made *everything* worse so they're resurrecting Farage's base racism to distract from the absolute mess they've made. No 'patriot' would let them.

I'm pre-blocked by two of these accounts. Is it some sort of bot/troll farm?

@mrjamesob
It's been a while since I did a tweet about how, every time you think you've reached the bottom of the barrel another utterly appalling Tory MP pops up on the telly to lower standards still further. So cheers for that, Mark Spencer.

One of the most impressive people I have ever met. Since being thrust so horribly & reluctantly into the public eye, she has conducted herself with incredible dignity & grace. She would not have embarked upon this path without serious thought & consideration. This could be huge. twitter.com/Nadine_Writes/…

Imagine racking your brains to come up with reasons for supporting your guy & settling on 'he tucked his shirt in today'...

Very clever framing from Starmer. These companies are making gross profits from Putin's war & Truss is protecting them. 'Disaster capitalism' at its most obnoxious.
