As the Prime Minister is using his scarce time to telephone editors to brief against Cummings, this exhortation is not credible https://t.co/NFUxrZFawU

If the Prime Minister’s absolute focus is dealing with the pandemic why is he playing table tennis in a hi-viZ jacket?

Absolutely shocking. Misleading to an obscene degree.
How do you expect people to support the BBC when this is your output? @BBCNews

This is truly astonishing – even for the BBC's standards!

Every media outlet has quoted Boris Johnson as saying:
"let the bodies pile high in their thousands."
Yet, the BBC have reported Johnson saying "bodies COULD pile high"
WTF are they playing at?https://t.co/pkfsnjEjrO
Cut through it all and *this* is why it matters whether Boris Johnson made those 'bodies piling high' comments. Those bodies are people. The replies to this are quite something. https://t.co/qYPoGkKa0L

. @BorisJohnson Occasional reminder. The affair you don't like being mentioned. We won't be forgetting the £126,000. Possible other grants. £700,000-1.2m interest free loan. And the Tories footed your legal bill. We will keep mentioning it and will never forget. 🏴☠️ pic.twitter.com/l2UXEYMLR6

So Michael Gove tries to smooth it all over with his nothing-to-see-here-style reassurances – but he cannot provide *any* credible defence for an archaic & utterly disfunctional system that lets the PM decide whether to investigate himself

“The fact that Cummings has reportedly feared arrest for all of this time not only emphasises how credible @carolecadwalla’s investigations always were, it also explains the culture of aggression coming from Johnson and his entourage.” https://t.co/cA6OmG3zE6

"Covid-19 has revealed the depth of cronyism and clientelism in British public life. This country had a reputation for the integrity of its public institutions. Mr Johnson’s legacy may be to shrink, irrevocably, our stature." https://t.co/h6dJjdUegT

I might just spend today repeatedly pointing out that the illegal campaign donations Cummings, Gove & Johnson were involved in were also 'very serious'.
