From the NHS to GDP, the abject abandonment of truth & observable reality demanded first by Brexit & then by the elevation of Boris Johnson created a culture in which Tory politicians & their media cheerleaders now see bone-headed denial as a valid response to any crisis.

A lot of Tories go into politics because they really hate people. I worry that we over-complicate things sometimes. twitter.com/Haggis_UK/stat…

We all mourn in different ways, of course, but defending a man who misled the Queen about a matter of such constitutional importance is at best bizarre, at worst insulting to her memory. I understand why people balk so violently at being reminded of this. But I won’t be stopping. twitter.com/LBC/status/156…

Musk can do what he likes with this platform. He owns it. But it’s objectively incredible how quickly & completely he’s trashed any notion that he values or respects free speech. There are much cheaper ways to show the world you’re a tissue-skinned liar.

Dido Harding is trending because she's landed another plum job. I explained the madness of this last year.

I presumed this wasn't real when I first saw it. Turns out Priti Patel really does think deporting refugees to sub-Saharan Africa is Christmassy. lbc.co.uk/news/priti-pat…

This stinks. And trying to silence Femi like this will only make things worse. When you’re in a ‘Tommy Robinson’-shaped hole, stop digging. twitter.com/Femi_Sorry/sta…

Johnson's purge of reality-recognisers (aka Remainers) in 2019 was so significant. It created a party where dissent led inexorably to dismissal. Even if the threat isn't the same today, the legacy lingers. Hence *no* Tory MPs publicly breaking ranks with this madness in public.

Nadien Dorries busted for using Parliamentary privilege to tell lies about Channel 4. She did the same to me, of course, on more than one occasion. twitter.com/PickardJE/stat…

The most fundamental problem with platforming these secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as 'think tanks' is that we have absolutely no way of knowing whose bidding this identikit herbert is doing here. Just stop booking them. They have literally no right to your attention. twitter.com/SkyNews/status…

Sunak’s managed to persuade the public that he has a private GP *and* that he’s too craven to admit it, potentially annoying absolutely everyone. That’s quite a balls up.

Funny how the people explaining that Susan Hussey had no idea she was being offensive are *exactly the same people* who insist that unconscious bias training is a ridiculous 'woke' conspiracy. Hard to see how they can have it both ways...

@mrjamesob
It's very bold of Sunak to blame anything on a party that's been in opposition for thirteen years. Never mind everything.

@mrjamesob
This is an unbelievably appalling intervention from Braverman, full of lies & misinformation about 'safe & legal routes' & built upon the premise that she can somehow construct a more effective 'deterrent' to small boat crossings than the fear of death.

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…

You won by doubling down on the disgusting lies you'd told to win the referendum & hitching yourself once more to the corrupt coat-tails of Boris Johnson. And then you got found out. Go & have a lie down. twitter.com/Dominic2306/st…

Boris Johnson’s ‘honours’ list rewards stupid and/or dishonest people for helping to sell Brexit to the population. Even as its inevitable consequences continue to tear apart his party & our country.
