It is very telling that not a single cabinet minister has tweeted in Boris Johnson's support since PMQs. Not one.
— Iain Dale (@IainDale) January 12, 2022
Usually there would have been an instruction to do so. They're keeping their heads down in case he has to quit and they haven't dipped their fingers in the blood.
Tory MPs including Douglas Ross put Boris Johnson into power. They knew exactly who he was then & they share the blame for the damage he's doing. As PM refuses to resign Tory MPs have a duty to remove him from office. It’s a question of their own integrity. pic.twitter.com/OUePd5RIte

If Boris Johnson falls because he has been lying through his teeth then that sums up the whole shit show he inflicted on the country with Brexit and we should be given the opportunity to reverse that too

Of course @BorisJohnson could have asked his wife, Carrie Johnson, who was with him and drinking (gin, I’m told), whether they were at a party, if he wasn’t sure

“Donald Trump is gone (for now), but the very worst vestiges of him continue to drive the Republican Party: rage, grievance, and an obsession with the idea that others are getting something you’re entitled to,” @MollyJongFast writes in Wait, What. https://t.co/tkcqTSBvIm

It makes absolutely no sense why Mitch McConnell can confirm 3 Supreme Court justices for Trump with 51 votes to take away voting rights but it requires 60 votes for US Senate to protect voting rights
— Ari Berman (@AriBerman) January 12, 2022
The filibuster aside, this is a really dangerous & dishonest thing for Mitt to say. Biden “going down the same road” as Trump when it comes to casting doubt on American election? Bullshit. When it comes to attacking our elections, NO ONE should be compared to Trump. No one. Ever. https://t.co/Y5iq6iCUuP

Scott Perry & Jim Jordan have material evidence relevant to Donald Trump’s crimes, yet they refuse to provide it to the 1/6 committee. There’s a term for that: cover-up. They should be subpoenaed AND criminally investigated. Because #JusticeMatters (video dropping this evening).
