More cake: Jacob Rees-Mogg, leader of the House of Commons on Newsnight, "... he was or was not given a piece of cake, I'm not entirely sure that's been established yet, I think this is one of the things we need to find out from the enquiry, it's what Sue Gray is working on."
Serious questions about the BBC rehiring known liar Martin Bashir in 2016. If we don't nip this kind of thing in the bud, then who knows - we could end up with someone who has a history of being sacked for lying becoming prime minister!
BJ "WTF, Matt? The whole world has just shut us down - we can't even get brussel sprouts!"
MH "Err, is it too late to tell them that we don't actually have the evidence it's super-spready yet..."
MH "I know, let's blame that new variant that's been kicking round the last couple of months - we can say it's not our fault; it's just super-spready"
BJ "Good idea - do it"
