One crucial point about PMQs is that the ebullience of your own benches is nowhere near as important as the moroseness of the other lot's. Textbook example here. twitter.com/BBCPolitics/st…

Arrested, handcuffed & imprisoned for journalism. And yet when the Tory government seeks *more* powers to police peaceful protests, much of the media cheers them to the rafters… twitter.com/LBC/status/159…

Anyway, back to the absolute disgrace of bringing Suella Braverman back in to the Cabinet six days after she was fired for gross misconduct…

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

If you think Boris Johnson’s decision to give Gavin Williamson a knighthood was outrageous, wait until you see who he’s put/putting in the Lords…

Obviously, I didn’t *know* he was toast when I tweeted this but he was done well within the hour… twitter.com/mrjamesob/stat…

@mrjamesob
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.

Tory MPs in the House of Commons are currently competing to say the most callous & dehumanising things about asylum-seekers. Benton takes the lead with this abomination, just a week & a day after a far-right British terrorist firebombed a similar facility. Disgusting & dangerous. twitter.com/AdamBienkov/st…

We've paused 'Wokewatch' because the only people still trying to turn 'woke' into a pejorative are Suella Braverman & your Uncle Bob's Facebook friends. We are instead launching 'Unhinged Headline' of the day' & this is the first winner. Email address to follow for nominations... twitter.com/mrjamesob/stat…

And yet the people happiest about Musk's purchase of Twitter think their unsubstantiated opinions & blatant lies are about to be afforded *more* freedom on here. (I'm finding this all very interesting & will not be stepping back from the platform for the foreseeable future.) 1/2 twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

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.
