It is indeed the 'self-inflicted' element of all this that demands the most attention and, I would suggest, a lot less air time for the secretly-funded clowns who helped flog it to the nation. twitter.com/_DavidGoodman/…

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…

If anything, I’m slightly more baffled than annoyed that @Parcel2Go have managed to lose an actual armchair. Absolutely appalling service. I’d have a nice sit down to recover my equilibrium but they’ve lost my bloomin’ chair…

Why it always the gammonburgers who whine endlessly about 'cancel culture' that prove daily they can still spout dangerous crap with impunity. twitter.com/FullFact/statu…

This little tome warned in the strongest terms what would happen if secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as 'think tanks' were not immediately treated with the contempt they deserve. Brexit wasn't a warning, it was a rehearsal. waterstones.com/book/how-to-be…

Better than nothing, I suppose, but this is a matter of integrity in public office and as such should be put to every member of government put forward for interview. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

This berk has as much right to call himself a 'crown prince' as you do. Very poor from @Channel4News. (Nowhere near as awful as their inexplicable & shameful facilitation of @afneil's attempted post-GBeebies rehabilitation, though. Obvs.) twitter.com/Channel4News/s…

@IainDale @DutchieMartin @iealondon @CPSThinkTank @ASI @the_tpa @Policy_Exchange But surely we *all* need to know who's paying the wages of the people we platform? And why? And even how much?

A man defends Braverman’s refusal to apologise to a Holocaust survivor for her Nazi rhetoric. A woman mentions every immigration cliché in the book during a phone-in about policing public protests. And we work out why rich men keep giving Johnson money…l-bc.co/3QHeROI

Many would argue that Boris Johnson's erstwhile 'social justice adviser', Iain Duncan Smith's former 'chief of staff' & Lord Ashcroft's favourite house elf should apologise for his entire 'career'. twitter.com/montie/status/…

I guess you can construct an alternative reality where you’re a ‘free speech absolutist’ genius & everything you do is brilliant when you only ever come into contact with people on your payroll. Bit harder to do it on Twitter. Even when you own it.

I met two charming Hounslow councillors tonight. One Labour, one Tory. The first just got back from their first ever party conference, the second is heading off to his tomorrow. It’s hard to imagine how different their experiences will be.
