It’s 730 on a Monday and Boris Johnson has already had to order an investigation into his government, this time into Islamophobia, which his team had already denied. Solid start to the week…

Father Christmas has finished compiling his naughty list for Downing Street…

On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Ate them.

Sunak and Javid haven’t resigned tonight because of the lies (they’ve had countless opportunities to do that already); they’ve resigned because they’re no longer benefitting from them. Johnson’s government is in a death spiral and they’ve decided to flee.

Yes Kwasi Kwarteng is a disastrous Chancellor, but the good news is we’re due a new one to be appointed any day now and they’re bound to be better.

Lots of people are pointing out that the EU Human Rights Act doesn’t exist but there’s another important point here: what rights does Nigel think YOU don’t deserve?

Thanks a lot Boris, this lot are in tears now…

The Manchester Arena and 2005 London bombings, the Grenfell and Kings Cross fires, the Munich air, Clutha, Aberfan and Hillsborough disasters.
If each of these tragedies occurred daily, the death toll would not match the number of lives lost to covid in the UK until 7th December twitter.com/BBCBreaking/st…

VERY important thread for two reasons:
1. Politicians are very good at misleading the public that their policies are forced upon them, rather than choices they embrace
2. These trends have continued under five different Tory Prime Ministers; the leader changes, the failings don’t twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/s…

For people asking if I attended the rule flouting Downing Street parties, a straightforward answer: No. I have a strict policy of leaving any room that Boris Johnson enters. #OneRuleForThem twitter.com/PippaCrerar/st…

Conservative MP Owen Paterson has been caught breaking the rules on accepting money. Rather than serve his punishment he and Tory colleagues have seemingly decided it must be the rules that are wrong. What do you think? twitter.com/AdamBienkov/st…

Just found Boris Johnson’s stash of Easter eggs; he’d put them all in one basket...
