No official business was discussed with Alexander Lebedev ‘as far as I’m aware’, says man who didn’t realise he was at his own birthday party.

It bears repeating for those at the back.

Questioning, criticising or otherwise holding to account the Government of the United Kingdom is NOT unpatriotic, or failing to sufficiently “believe in Britain”.

It is the democratic duty of Members of Parliament.

‘We have to be very conscientious about a second wave.’ I think Priti Patel means ‘conscious’ on #Marr. She is the most effortlessly thick politician of my lifetime.

As a new book alleges Donald Trump thought Finland was controlled by Russia, Finnish authorities say to be fair they thought the same about him.

On Wales��� Ceredigion coastline lies a lost prehistoric forest, only visible when the tide is at its very lowest and strong winds have shifted the sands.

These remnants of ancient trees may have spawned the tale of Cantre’r Gwaelod - a legendary Welsh city lost to the waves.

I see Rory Stewart is trending. Finafuckingly

[Mitch Benn @MitchBenn]

Now - SHAMEFULLY - deleted from the BBC feed. RT far & wide, and while you’re at it, I defy you to point out ONE WORD of this which isn’t factually true and “impartial”.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

A claim that a 2019 blogpost by Dominic Cummings was edited in 2020 to include a warning about coronaviruses is correct.

The change appears to have been made in April.

He claimed Monday that he’d warned about the virus last year.

Eton College writes to Boris Johnson's dad in 1982

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

This is categorically untrue. Care homes were left without testing. Without contract tracing. Without PPE. Without support. You can deny it all you like, @MattHancock, but we were witnesses - we ARE witnesses - and believe me you will be held to account .

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

The immigration health surcharge is set to rise from £400 a year to £624 from this October.

13.1% of NHS workers are non-British.

Priti Patel and Boris Johnson might #ClapForTheNHS every Thursday, but this is a funny way of saying thanks.
