Mark Harper repeats Rishi Sunak's lie about the £2,000 Labour tax

Fiona Bruce calls him out on it

Mark Harper doubles down

Fiona Bruce reads out the letter

Mark Harper triples down on it

Shabana Mahmood jumps in and calls him out

Look at Mark Harpers face - he knows he's telling lies and yet he carries on, Shameful

This might be the single most embarrassing thing I've ever seen

We haven't had a general election since 2019.

In that time, we've had 3 prime ministers, 5 chancellors, 4 home secretaries (Sue-Ellen twice), about 6 by-elections following allegations of sexual misconduct, lobbying and a PM accused of misleading parliament

🚨 MET POLICE USE PAIN COMPLIANCE ON JUST STOP OIL SUPPORTERS

🚔 @metpoliceuk authorise violence against nonviolent marchers.

"Is your first step of a Global Britain to come out of the biggest market in the world? How does that make any sense?"

Throwback to when @campbellclaret called out Nigel Farage in 2017.

potty tory mps this morning are like 'really enjoyed match of the day last night on my television set. it was so refreshing to just sit back with a glass of lager beer and watch my team spurs city wanderers do their soccer goals without all that lefty analysis'

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service

"Let me just stop you there, the Mouth of Sauron has vehemently denied the claims that the Dark Lord intends to enslave Middle Earth. It's worth noting also that the allegations come from the Fellowship who are, of course, a an extremist faction."

Johnson: "I believe these events were within the rules. Nobody told me before or after anything to the contrary."

Interviewer: "The report has whatsapps in it from your director of communications saying things like, I'm struggling to see how this is within the rules."

'Every single promise has been broken. Every single lie has been exposed. And it has barely started.'

James O'Brien thought playing back these Brexit promises would be fun, but was instead left fuming...

This fake trailer for The Shining almost single-handedly jump-started a “edit a grossly misrepresentational trailer for a popular movie” in the early days of YouTube, but I don’t think a single one ever quite topped this.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Boris Johnson is, by some distance, the worst thing ever to happen to British politics. A serial liar, a proven cheat, an enemy of common decency. If he has finally buckled under the weight of his own depravity, none of his supporters should be allowed to forget their complicity.
