@mpershan Very much enjoying you book. Underlining lots! Is this a mistake though? I fell off my bike yesterday and have a head and shoulder injury so it could well be my fuzzy head!

This is not the worst. Worst is yet to come. But a story: 2 months ago, I hit deep low. Realised: journalism had failed. Authorities had failed. Politics had failed. But..now I think: fuck that shit. The EUref was illegally conducted. That’s just fact. And one day, it will matter

Lie upon lie upon lie by the Prime Minister. #FakeLaw
🛑Automatic early release was not “established in 2008” - the Conservatives legislated for automatic early release in 1991
🛑He has never proposed to end automatic early release - just to delay it for a handful of offenders
I have had more than one male colleague sincerely ask whether a certain behavior is mansplaining. Since apparently this is hard to figure out, I made one of them a chart.
Classic Vote Leave tactics this whole “Gove turns up” while CCHQ complains to regulator Ofcom about Ch4 barring him. It is all about proving to supporters that the London media establishment are against them (don’t laugh) while trying to intimidate all broadcasters, while...
I feel I need to retweet my own retweet. The Americans can see clearly what’s happening here. Johnson is Putin’s asset. And people are going to vote for him.
