Word of the day is ‘throttlebottom’: an inept, bumbling, and possibly embarrassing holder of public office.

Word of the day is 'throttlebottom': a bumbling, inept individual in public office.

(Named after Alexander Throttlebottom, a character in the 20th-century musical comedy 'Of Thee I Sing').

Millions will be heartbroken by this news, having their Christmas plans ripped up with less than a week’s notice.

At this time of national crisis, the British people want clear, decisive leadership.

All we get from Boris Johnson is confusion and indecision.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

This really is a depressing read, working class students who have a northern accent allegedly being bullied for where they come from and how they speak? I really had hoped we had moved on from this, always be proud of yr accent and yr background. https://t.co/r7CZQ1zDS5

#BlackLivesMatter

If you're looking at what's happening right now in the US and feeling powerless, know that you are not. There is a lot we can all do to be active in tackling anti-blackness and racism. Active allyship from white people is vital.

Here are some places to start

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

After two NASA astronauts travel to the ISS, 400km above the Earth’s surface, critics say surely there’s a cheaper way to test their eyesight.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Aristocracy, before embracing the elite, first meant government by the best of citizens (from the Greek ‘aristos’, ‘best’). Government by the worst people, on the other hand, is kakistocracy.

[Financial Times @FinancialTimes]

Opinion: At least 1m people in Britain are estimated to have lost their jobs since March. Dominic Cummings is not one of them. That’s all you need to know about this week in British politics https://t.co/kimsVA4zUC

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

If what Cummings did is accepted, if we do ‘move on,’ then an horrific precedent will be set. Anyone in politics who is deceitful, hypocritical, who has no regard for human life, who thinks the laws and the rules don’t apply to them, will have a defence. The Cummings defence.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Government confirms groups of six will be able to meet despite daily death toll still being in the hundreds, and if everyone could continue to shift their focus away from Dominic Cummings that’d be great.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘bloviator’ (19th century): a speaker of empty rhetoric and blower of hot air; someone who talks a lot but says very little.

[Caitlin Moran @caitlinmoran]

If you feel that introduction by @maitlis on last night's Newsnight was simply an accurate summation of the situation, as I do, you can complain about her caution and removal here: https://t.co/D4LHH8pKDj
