Again and again – smart people – Dan Rosenfield, Allegra Stratton, Simon Case and, yes, even Dominic Cummings, and Steve Barclay, have been tempted to work for Boris Johnson – believing they can change a 57 year old man – who never changes. Why? https://t.co/MYtX0mgp8a

INCYMI my take on the PM’s week and why it’s important not to get lost in the dizzying events and remember the big picture: ie that even if we take just the events of this week alone, the premiership of Boris Johnson is taking British politics to a very unusual place. https://t.co/zyCRq5tpMC

I am trying to imagine the universe you must be living in to imagine that, until he met Carrie, Boris Johnson was a model of personal and professional discipline.https://t.co/lb6hDg1OFb pic.twitter.com/KL4FkQbbMV

He has suggested two methods for his demise himself. One was dying in a ditch, the other was being run over by machinery at Heathrow. Or we could supply a fridge?

If I was a PM who couldn’t cope without being mothered by my famously efficient QC wife, I would simply not sleep with half of London until she was driven to divorce me, but whatever

It's almost cliche that a government this corrupt is arguing that fraud is a victimless crime. 🤭

Kwasi Kwarteng is desperate to defend Boris Johnson's clear lies about crime, but his own subconscious mind wanted to tell the truth. 😅#SundayMorning pic.twitter.com/TZLWYpTK1w

Please…people are already slipping into the habit of calling Sunak "Rishi". He is no more your friend than "Boris" Johnson ever was. Don't do it!

I don’t want any of this “levelling up” or “Build Back Better” crap that I keep hearing from Boris Johnson and the Tories.

Just put everything back the way it was and leave us the fuck alone.

To pass a merry moment before Nadine Dorries gives another interview, here’s the November 2018 classic when, fully 2½ years after the Brexit vote she so passionately supported, Nadine was outraged to discover that leaving the EU would mean having no MEPs. pic.twitter.com/oI2cGrNaKg

Clinton was wrong in applying her misguided decision to create server & destroy emails. I rep'd @GOP to help expose those facts.

What Trump did is worse as it was deliberate & known disregard of US law & for malicious purposes. Now GOP is complicit in this hypocrisy. https://t.co/w3qLzdrKCh

I think we can be reasonably certain that if Sarah Palin was never chosen as VP, Trump never would have been President, so this is pretty uh.
