I’m not buying this line of argument. Johnson knew, as everybody in the Conservative Party knew, that the Brexit referendum was about heading off the (over-stated) electoral threat from UKIP and simultaneously dealing with a fringe group of MPs in the party who were a distraction and wouldn’t shut up. Nobody, Johnson included, thought the country would actually vote for it. There was never going to be a White Paper because nobody sensible could think of anything to put in it. The expectation was that the electorate would sort the Conservative Party’s internal squabbles out for them by decisively rejecting it and all would be well. As an aside, we have the choice of continuing with this failed non-policy or not, and the current government have chosen to continue with it. I would love to see a White Paper laying out the case for staying out of the single market and customs union.

Why is the BBC still employing Laura Kuenssberg and why the hell is the BBC letting her give Boris Johnson an interview to plug his new book.

It is just sickening that people are being forced to pay for this crap.

@PolitlcsUK Give them enough rope and they'll make good use of it! Although, they've already had a good go!

@JaneyGodley There is one former President who just might be giving birth, but only if the relationship works out.

@IK1994 @tanita_tikaram @Patrici89225734 @SangitaMyska It's just great to hear her digging bigger holes and spewing out bile in direct contrast to the normal balanced output in this slot.

Chapeau Victor! 💪🏻👍🏻👏🏻

[Eric Idle @EricIdle]

Ok people, enough of Farago. Here's why I hate him. Eight years ago I could travel in Europe passport free, I could live in any country and work in any country and stay as long as I liked. Now I cannot. I can stay only three months in all of Europe. He effectively burned my passport. For that I will never forgive him.

JUST BEEN LEAKED NOTE BY HEAD OF TORY CAMPAIGN (the one standing in for the one on leave of absence courtesy of William Hill) MEMO ALL CANDIDATES … THE REALITY. 1. We cannot campaign on our record because nothing has improved since we took office. 2. The biggest change we made last Parliament was Brexit and we can’t campaign on that because the people who hated it hate it more and the people who liked it know we have ballsed it up. 3. We can’t campaign on our leaders because we have had five in eight years which suggests none of them were very good. 4. We can’t campaign on Labour being a risk to security and the economy because nobody can do worse than we have and anyway people seem to think @Keir_Starmer is pretty decent and he is for sure not Corbyn. 5. So LADS, all we have left is this … behave like we have lost, it’s all over bar the shouting, towel thrown in, and hope to God millions of people don’t bother to vote us out because they think somebody else will do it. I know it’s desperate and a bit anti-democratic but needs must. We’re shit and we know we are and so this is it!!! Fuck everything up. Crash the car. Make ourselves look even more unelectable and useless at campaigns. Willie Whitelaw used to talk about travelling the country stirring up apathy. That is all we have left. Do it. Talk up supermajority. I know it is meaningless but it is the only way to stop the superdefeat we all know we deserve. Cheers. Btw we’re having Sunday drinks 1pm. BYOB 🍾 🥂 ps new slogan. STAY AT HOME. DON’T VOTE. KEEP THE TORIES haha!!

@igm_1966 @mattgreencomedy I live in Dorset, I'd vote for the SNP too!

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

Looking the public straight in the eye, Sunak deliberately chose to lie about Labour plans. Not once but repeatedly. Not as a slip of the tongue but on purpose. And he had been expressly told not to do so by the head of the Treasury. He’s desperate. He’s no better than Johnson.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

Sadly, it’s been a record-breaking year for hardship and hunger in the UK.

3.1 MILLION food parcels have been provided by our network.

Whoever our next PM is MUST commit to serious action to end the need for food banks. #ITVDebate

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

Nigel Farage is standing in Clacton where Douglas Carslaw won before for Ukip so has a reasonable chance of becoming an MP. He also becomes leader of Reform UK so he can do TV debates and leader interviews and says its for 5 years. He's saying to Tories that he is available to take over their party. He can do all this without any normal political process because Reform is a company of which he is the key owner, so he can largely do what he wants.
