Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.
For anyone still tempted to take Dominic Cummings at all seriously, he's now an advocate of Donald Trump-style open racism.

Absolutely brilliant - we’ve all got to speak up like this. The government is not so we have got to do it ourselves.
Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

Been back to my childhood village in Essex for a funeral.
High Street is littered with tatty flags attached to every lamp post and telegraph pole, and by God, it looks awful.
Everyone I spoke to hates them. So intimidating. Apparently- "Epping Forest council is scared of offending the nasties."

Making my way there now, after work.
I'll be speaking at the Stop Trump demo in Parliament Square today. A fascist autocratic clearly itching to declare martial law is not welcome here.

I love The Sewing Bee and all that but the camera work is dire - no need for all that zooming in and out and constant head shots of sewers looking up at time calls . We’d rather see the sewing….and a calm camera
