On Channel 4 News @CharlesWalkerMP says he's been told that at 5:30 last night just 3 cabinet ministers supported further Covid restrictions. And now? Draw your own conclusions he suggests.
Candour from Lord Patten on BBC Radio 4 PM as he argues this is not a Conservative government. It's a chaotic English Nationalist government, and it could cause the break-up of The Union. Hmmm, no holding back there.
It's so churlish of voters to judge Boris Johnson and his chums on their actual behaviour rather than just what they promised to do. news.sky.com/iframe/widget/…
On #BBCWATO Rt Hon Nadine Dorries was asked whether, like John Major, Boris Johnson should challenge his party to put up or shut up? She replied that Major wasn't dealing with a war in Ukraine. No, but he was dealing wirh a war in Bosnia which, unlike Ukraine, involved British forces.
The BBC Radio 4 lunchtime bulletin has just reported that UK Prime Minister is complainng that Rishi Sunsk has behaved dishonurably. Our catetaker PM taking irony to new and exciting heights.
Been reflecting having just listened to Sheila Fogerty on #LBC accusing Penny Mordaunt in the Commons, while deputising for Liz Truss of "gaslighting" and ,"abusing" the electorate. Fair comnent, but imagine the outcry if she'd said all this as a #BBC presenter
Happy 55th Birthday to BBCLOCALRADIO - a lifeline for millions and an increasingly valuable source of information which helps keep local politicians and services accountable to their communities. It wiuld he a tragedy if the #BBC were alliwed to dilute this vital service.
