A corrupt Prime Minister, in cahoots with a vile propagandist, has spent huge amounts of public cash on a glorified press release designed to help him evade parliamentary scrutiny. Client journalists & morally bankrupt politicians plan to nod it through. They must be called out.

Don’t even need to check. It’ll be the Telegraph. Their comment pages are now so hilariously batshit I’m beginning to think it’s a marketing ploy. twitter.com/thhamilton/sta…

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.

Two important things to note about Lord Pannick’s lucrative (for him) intervention: it’s not a ‘legal opinion’ in any meaningful sense & it would not have been commissioned at all if Johnson wasn’t certain he could rely on the Daily Mail to embellish, inflate & misrepresent it.

@mrjamesob
I’m so sorry. I honestly thought the Mail couldn’t get any more tragic than the fortnight spent pretending Keir Starmer’s perfectly permissible curry was somehow comparable to the serial law-breaking inside Downing Street. But here we are…

Might crowdfund for Lord Pannick's 'legal advice' on the fairness of VAR. Won't be cheap. Who's in?

And there it is. Treating the public purse like a piggy bank. I presume he did this instead of scrounging off another donor to make it look official. twitter.com/breeallegretti…

A collector’s item to mark the end of an awful era. Three hours cataloguing the all calumnies, catastrophes & sundry other crap inflicted on us by Prime Minister Johnson. Also features cameos from @pcaruanagalizia & @SimonMarksFSN. l-bc.co/3CT9F5q

Johnson’s latest con, endorsed & amplified by the worst kind of client journalism, is that while lawyers can’t be trusted on legal matters, they are somehow authorities on non-legal ones.

Amazing coincidence that Patel & Johnson have both managed to commission ‘opinions’ that delivered precisely the conclusions they wanted. twitter.com/ProfMarkElliot…

From 10am on @LBC, what will you remember Boris Johnson's premiership for? Serious answers only.

It seems quite fitting that Boris Johnson’s final official speech as PM should involve barefaced lies about Gordon Brown & a suggestion that new kettles might somehow alleviate the impact of rocketing energy bills. Disgusting & ridiculous to the very end.

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/…
