I think she was guilty of stupidity. Even if she didn't intend anti-semitism, opposition MPs can't go around making up stuff and repeating false claims - that's the role of Government.

I've worked with a few idiots over the years, as many of us will have done, but I have never seen any organisation with so many clueless individuals sat around one table. If this cabinet was running a company, UK Ltd would go under in six months, it would be hilariously chaotic, a lesson in stupidity. Talentless.

I made it, just. I didn't think I was required anymore, and then a pompey fan told me we'd be playing each other next season. 🤣

According to that Monopoly board, owning a TV licence and boycotting The Sun makes you a bad person. Presumably the marketing team who designed it to harvest angry white men's social media details, ran out of ideas. Shortly before starting it.

This has been the worst attempt at defence since Bertrand got sent off against Leicester. Had Boris been our manager that evening he would have stood in the tunnel afterwards heralding the night as a great triumph, the honour of being involved in an unprecedented scoreline with so many positives to take as we are a club that follows the science and leads the world! And all his little cabinet poodles would have yapped along as instructed - not an ounce of dignity left between them. This vulgar affair has been bungled by the Chuckle Brothers Crisis Management team in the most hilariously-awful way - and continues to be. Then again.....Cummings the spinmaster is distracting everyone from the 60,000 deaths...perhaps he's still in control?

Look over there....Starmer has a donkey, probably two. Two donkeys!

The single wobbly pillar holding up his defence is child care. But they didn't make use of any, his wife's diary explains that....they only needed shopping dropped at a door. Which could probably have been covered by his aide who lives 500 metres away from him, or his sister-in-law who also lives in London, or anyone who works in Westminster. Durham was for family birthdays. The whole explanation is shambolic - and so blatantly made-up that they are just taking the mick out of anyone dim enough to buy it all.

Boris may regret the day he chucked himself on a grenade for Cummings. He has lost all credibility. But it was funny to watch!

They always say it's the cover-up that does the damage. Rather than smugly dishing out distancing advice in the street, Cummings could have humbly admitted it as a mistake when under parenting pressure and pleaded stupidity, Johnson could have told him off in public, suspended him briefly and both could have carried on - the story would be chip wrapper today. But no, they think they are above the law, so instead we had denials, then an explanation, then a slightly-different explanation, both of which were riddled with gaping holes. Now we have cabinet ministers lying, redefining lockdown measures on the hoof, or evading the simplest questions, no.10 saying fake news, while Durham police and the papers stand 100% by their versions of events. This defence has become a total Clusterf()ck of the highest order and is doing more damage with every hour that passes - it will be held up as a textbook way in which you turn a small drama into a crisis. Not only is Cummings sinking, he is now dragging down all of those who have joined him in his arrogant charade. The spotlight now turns onto those who are still insisting that this particular dead cat is absolutely fine. Ironically his mistake is now spreading like a virus through the cabinet.

Grant Shapps is playing a blinder! Dealing with every question clearly and concisely, not lying too much about the police, or contradicting himself and the PM, very little muttering about the A66 - three fantastic media performances on the trot. #statesmanlike

So we have her detailed account of their time in London with the child, no mention of babysitters or their virus-riddled record-breaking no-refuelling or toilet-stop-for-a-four-year-old drive to Durham. A trip not mentioned even though they claim it was okay, when the government instruction was to not leave home for any reason..... The sister and niece arrived late to the party when the parents-angle didn't wash, now we hear of family in London who could have helped, as well as people like Sainsbury's, as the main issue was for shopping to be left at the door of some farm building in a plague town. Add in Durham police not speaking to his family and this is starting to become the sort of version of events that senior cabinet ministers might want to distance themselves from. At the moment they're standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him, sticking two fingers up in the face of isolated voters, ignoring the health secretary, medical advisors and the PM's own words, and calling the police liars. Not a good look.

His story has already changed, it has the potential to unravel. As for the Bot Farm launching Kinnock stories to distract, they miscalculated and released so many tweets that Cummings didn't even trend. It's gone all Thick of It.

During full lockdown a man who had the virus, who was too ill to care for his own child, but well enough to make a 500-mile round trip, a journey now claimed as above board but mysteriously written out of his wife's detailed account of their week, perhaps because it clearly breached all guidelines and contradicted the PM's own concise instructions?.... No sane person can defend that.

Boris is playing a blinder! He managed to swap a few ****s for taxpayer cash, then batted away the inquiry with a couple of honours, leaving his staff to face the music. He's not bothered by Starmer, plucky Boris has passed every test! Both of them, or is that four? Could be twelfty-five-three if Patel announces it - let's call it 100,000 x 2, he can post the rest.

The Coogan attack is an attempt to distract simple folk away from the big story of the day, the enquiry around the conduct of the Prime Minister. A simple Cummings tactic, and it seems to work. To knock Johnson enquiry down the search rankings you can also expect to hear Covid 19 announcements using the word enquiry, nothing reduces damage like confusion....and the bots will be out. Welcome to politics in 2020.

Nothing has made me chuckle more today than reading the phrase, Liz Truss has played a blinder. Thank-you for that, comedy gold. Some may have different opinions, but the ability to make strangers laugh out loud is a precious gift that unites humanity.

Not sure I believe either of them! Had Reed made up the story about a transfer request, Jose just had to deny it. Reed would have looked a right tit.

Ancient history. He was great for us, a key part of a wonderful era, and his career died the day he left.

62 days after I developed those symptoms. Thankfully Dr Google made the link at the time as he'd been listening to advice from abroad.

Michael Gove just guaranteed the safety of teachers - you have to admire his bravery. He also praised the brilliant job Matt Hancock has done on PPE, care homes and testing. Which is an interesting new way to view facts.

So their plan is to end the season for most of the division because they can't guarantee players' safety, but set up some self-isolated masked-up mini-league, slightly extended beyond the current play-off system - a pioneering virus-friendly format change which coincidentally would be the only method by which pompey would still be in contention to go up? It's understandable that when the European Championships and the Olympics have been postponed, League One must go on, whatever the risk to public health.

It does seem that one point would have changed everything. Unlucky. At least they've had the humiliating local derby 4-0 home disaster wiped, as I keep getting told by dentally-challenged simple folk. Unless of course that competition had already completed, which would be doubly unlucky.....

My first ever gig, at the Gaumont in 79. A proper band. thanks Dave.

So posting something is now a completed test?
