The list of things that people agitating for Johnson's return clearly don't care about is incredible when you think about: corruption, law-breaking, cronyism, avoidable deaths, bullying, lying, rule-breaking, Russian spies, ethical breaches, trashing parliamentary standards etc

The Murdoch/Barclay/Rothermere plutocracy wanted Brexit, wanted May, wanted Johnson & wanted Truss. And they got the lot. I have no idea what they'll want next but recent history suggests it won't be good for the rest of us.

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.

Do you remember when people who voted for & claimed to welcome all of this national & generational damage insisted that they loved it all because it upset people like us? Do you remember how they relished 'Remainer tears' even as the country crumbled? I do. And I *always* will.

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...

All roads lead to Brexit. Eventually, only Brexit hard man Steve Baker, 'Lord' Hannan, @Bobbybunchofnumberz & Nadine Dorries will admit that they voted for it.

Amazing that a Home Secretary under Johnson can be found by his own ethics adviser to be a massive bully - and then cost the taxpayer a fortune in compensation - but keep her job. While under Truss, a dodgy email merits the immediate elbow. What an absolute shower.

Sorry to tweet it twice but this really is incredible. He’s basically saying that he has all the graphs & charts to *prove* that he’s not talking utter bilge but… they go to a different school. Lisa Nandy has Brexit hard man Steve Baker for her tea here. twitter.com/Haggis_UK/stat…

There are at least three plausible explanations for Braverman’s departure. But only one reasonable reaction: relief. Her gleeful dreams of deporting refugees to Rwanda soiled the public space quite horribly.
