“Nobody told me it was against the rules” is a pretty weird thing for a man who was on telly literally every night for an hour telling people what the rules were.

Bonus thought: Nigel Farage now has to declare his income and donations.

When you say “my parents worked hard to give me a good education” you’re saying two things. • State education, which I am in charge of, is bad and should be avoided at all costs. • If you’re a parent who can’t afford to do that, you aren’t working hard enough for your kids.

Entirely unclear why the outgoing and incoming Prime Ministers had to travel from London to Balmoral and back at broadly the same time on separate, identical 14-seat luxury private jets.

So wait. The Foreign Secretary's phone comprehensively hacked, apparently by a hostile foreign power. And the Prime Minister and Cabinet Secretary agreed to cover it up so it didn't derail her chances of winning the race to be Prime Minister? Have I misunderstood any of that?

The Home Secretary arriving by military helicopter in war-torn <checks notes> Kent. 67 miles from London. Takes 1h11m to get there by train, at a cost of £11.30.

“Stop listening to rich Remainers,” Cummings said as he left his £1.6 million Islington townhouse, which has a “tapestry room”, a reading room AND a “formal” living room. Perhaps en route to the medieval castle owned by his wife’s family?

Jesus. Kemi Badenoch outright accuses Keir Starmer of blocking a national inquiry to prevent “Labour politicians” being implicated. Jaws on the floor across the house. #pmqs

Imagine if, at the end of a gruelling day last May, a shift’s worth of covid nurses had rocked up in the hospital car park, in uniform, with folding chairs and bags of cans and sat around drinking for a few hours.

Conclusive proof that anyone with £50, an Aldi within walking distance, a team of helpers, an industrial kitchen and a professional chef can make meals for 30p.

One more time, because Boris Johnson keeps saying he thought he was attending “work events”: Work events were not allowed under Covid rules.

The BBC still have seven days to do the right thing and empty chair Boris Johnson, solo, for a full half hour. Nothing but @afneil solemnly asking the questions he’d like to ask the Prime Minister, with 30 seconds of silence after each one.
