Retweet the sh*t out of this one please. It's a message that many, many decent people struggle but need to hear. twitter.com/mrjamesob/stat…

Under any logical analysis it has to be Sunak, but logic and the Tory party got divorced in June 2016.

Yup. And this will be true for at least another leader or two. Amazing how obvious it is to everybody else… twitter.com/davidfrum/stat…

Yet another ‘Head of’ something or other at @iealondon! This one’s getting publicly owned by @OzKaterji… twitter.com/OzKaterji/stat…

The second round of a con is always the most baffling to observers. Victims of scams send *more* money to scammers because they’re just not ready to admit the scale of their costly mistake. The offer to keep the ‘dream’ alive is irresistible. And so it is now with the Tory party.

@mrjamesob
I know it’s ‘fascinating’ to track every twist & turn of the Tories’ latest psychodrama but, when you step back from ringside, it’s all proof of how utterly screwed they/we are. The country is in deep crisis & most of their MPs are behaving like it’s an episode of Strictly. 1/2

@mrjamesob
If I prioritised my own political preferences & prejudices over the national interest, as most Tories & all Brexiters currently do, I’d want Johnson to have another go. I don’t because I care more about the country. It’s his colleagues who want *more* chaos, corruption & scandal
436
@mrjamesob
Oh no! This @iealondon’s ‘Head of’ something or other has removed his *very impressive* & *very important* job title from his bio. Has he been demoted by the ‘Head of Heads’ or just buckled under the weight of the epic embarrassment? twitter.com/cjsnowdon/stat…

Brexit has created a country where Kemi Badenoch is, apparently, an important player in the selection of the next Prime Minister. Only slightly less ridiculously, Jonathan Gullis thinks he is too.

@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.

Once again, Nadine leaves us wondering whether she’s too ignorant to understand what’s going on (the committee is investigating lies *to the House of Commons*) or too sycophantic to care about the truth.
Or both, of course. twitter.com/NadineDorries/…

Boris Johnson is, by some distance, the worst thing ever to happen to British politics. A serial liar, a proven cheat, an enemy of common decency. If he has finally buckled under the weight of his own depravity, none of his supporters should be allowed to forget their complicity.
444
@mrjamesob
And even now, neither the corrupter-in-chief nor the client journalists promoting his latest grift will list the supporters he claims to have…
445
@mrjamesob
Two counterfactuals for you in preparation for tomorrow’s show:
1.) Boris Johnson published the pro- Remain column he had already written.
2.) Nigel Farage had always been treated by the British media like the ignorant, racist tool he so clearly is.
How would the U.K. look now?

So we’ve finally reached the bit where that funny blonde bloke who took your mum’s life savings, and is still swearing blind that her huge jackpot will be delivered as soon as his temporary cash-flow problems are sorted, just got photographed on his mega-yacht. Laughing. At her.

@mrjamesob
A sad but helpful reminder that our national corruption, denigration & degradation does not depart with Johnson. His sycophantic supporters will always pretend that he was something other than demonstrably disgusting. twitter.com/Geoffrey_Cox/s…

Funny how stating the bleedin’ obvious about Brexit is newsworthy when it’s a billionaire Tory banker doing it on @BBCr4today. Max Hastings was shut straight down for saying the same last week. Better late than never, I suppose.
