Seems the Daily Mail thought Sunak nailed #PMQs today. I’d say John Crace has.

Enjoyably searing takedown of tetchy, nasty little Sunak, the holy show that is the Tory party and the utter bolloxing mess they’ve made of everything.

A government trying to put into law the right for it to disregard international and domestic law.

As red flags go… it’s huge and very red and being waved right in our faces.

'Truss did not fall into No. 10 from a spaceship, like some twin-set Mr Bean. She won the leadership because she expressed what Conservatism has become'

Truss was a symptom not a cause; & the papers, think-tanks & activists that backed her are still there

Truss has spent the last 24 hours out-batshitting herself. But also showing, as she sits, glassy-eyed and grinning on the Tory backbenches, that a party… that made her PM and keeps her on as she honks out her manifesto of blame and far right lunacy… needs voting out now.

Tories think getting one plane to Rwanda would be ‘proof of concept’.
What concept?
That govt has been made mad by its own failure.
That they’ve wasted millions on a grim publicity stunt that hurts people and solves nothing.
That populist prejudice is a grotesque abuse of power.

Every MP who voted to deport victims of modern slavery to Rwanda should not be allowed to forget their disgraceful choice in the upcoming General Election. Shame on them

These letters in The Times sum up very well why the ECHR is such a vital protective democratic framework for us all.
Without it, we are at the mercy of the whims, prejudices and vested interests of our own governments who reveal every day just how little they should be trusted.

Rwanda Bill back this week. Because we could do with our govt wasting more time and money on unworkable, Supreme-Court defying, country-shaming cruelty when everything else is broken and on fire.
Grim how Sunak clings to this grotesque plan as his own small lifeboat. It isn’t.

Not seen this before. It’s a distillation of why plutocrat billionaires use playthings like The Sun & GBeebies to pretend that they represent the interests of ‘ordinary people’. People who will be measurably damaged by the loss of things they are persuaded to hate: EU; ECHR etc

Bigger things to worry about? Yes.
But there’s nothing to counterbalance the relentless bad news. No feelgood. No sense that our govt is anything other than useless, vicious and against us. Brexit Britain is just a meaner, dirtier, poorer, unhappier place.

Ed Miliband: 'Frankly, it would be a global embarrassment, for Britain, if Susan Hall was elected as the Mayor of London... it would empower the flat earth brigade... '

Q: You're not calling Susan Hall a flat earther?

Ed Miliband: I absolutely am...

Telegraph journalist Sophia Money-Coutts, of the Coutts dynasty, says young people have it too good.

Paul Nowak isn't having it.

Sorry what?!
Have you met the Boris Johnson who got to be PM by lying his arse off about Brexit, then lied routinely to parliament, gorged himself in the trough, gave out dodgy peerages, broke the rules and huffed out of power in disgrace?
He would laugh in your face at this.

Rees-Mogg’s comment about Brexit checks being an ‘act of self harm’ sums up the bad faith of Brexit. These Empire/Sovereignty fetishists demanding they get to defy all laws, regulations, Ts&Cs they don’t like, even if they voted for them…
An epic shitshow of ruinous entitlement.

Donelan is incredibly lucky there are so many other catastrophes around her in government, because this is a major scandal and if the media had spent another few days pressuring her she would have been forced to pay back the money or resign. Now she should do both.

For Government MPs and their client media to try and bully the police into investigating Opposition MPs on, let's call them what they are, bullshit allegations is grim, even by the standards of this shower of a Government.

Sullen spoiled brat Jacob doesn’t like the courts because he can lie to voters but not the courts. He’d like him and his govt to be above the law so they can do whatever the hell they want.
So he stamps his feet at Nanny when he’s told to go to bed. And Nanny community notes him.
