@squeezyjohn @Samfr @wtfrench76 "Prime Minister"?

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@trevhewsongy @MarxMedia @SkyNews It appears he showed up twice in September; https://t.co/fhbLDM3San

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@DuncanWeldon Possibly. My reading is that he's refusing to commit to any single measure not being reversed because he doesn't know which ones will be reversed. Either because he's not been told or, more likely, because decisions haven't been made. But he's maximising the wiggle room.

@xtophercook My corporation tax return is a real waste of the time I could be entrepreneuring, psyched to hear I don't have to do one anymore.

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@makhno4ever Ouch

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@mrjamesob Or "Don't, Pannick!" as Corporal Jones would have it

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@Samfr Didn't @DavidGauke quit a few minutes before Boris Johnson became PM?

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@oldandrewuk @supermathskid @jenfuristired @Miss_Snuffy You've failed to complete the reading for this lesson? That's a detention. Also your attitude is too disruptive for this social media site, either try harder or find a different one.

@MLBrook Presumably if you don't graze the field it gets overgrown and shades the panels?

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@Samfr This may go some way to explain why she's considering breaking up the treasury...

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@Samfr Fabricant as ethics advisor? Is Neil Hamilton not available?

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@jr_pritchard Once the Tory leadership election starts it's coup or nothing

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@JolyonMaugham What's the point? No Tory MP will support it. Steal the order paper, table a humble address asking the Queen to appoint Raab (or literally anyone) as caretaker PM

@JustRowena I _think_ the quotes mean you're supposed to read it in a pejorative tone of voice as used by misogynists - a "women's issue" in the sense of something trivial that only women care about as opposed to a women's issue, an issue that disproportionately affects women

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@lewis_goodall I noticed that too. Strange that the the word "yesterday" appears in the printed text though. But I don't think it's surprising it was written in advance - who wants to make a snap decision to resign and draft a difficult letter at 4am?

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@ZaltzCricket You may mock, but having only just found out about Gilbert's record I'm quite pleased it's still intact

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@jr_pritchard I'm no Colleen Rooney, but you'd think the Met might have considered looking into this "but we were doing that thing you've decided was illegal literally every week" defence a little deeper than they seem to have done

[Dave Jessop @DaveJessop]

@JustRowena I think there's an argument that the scams are deliberately unbelievable so that only the most credulous get hooked. Plus, I guess people who don't shop online don't have internet banking and won't notice the scam until their next statement comes in the post?
