    And she gets caught out again with another since-deleted Tweet attack on James O'Brien...

    Actually she is almost the winner of the extremely competitive award for most '**** you constituents' second job. If you remember, a few years back she went into the jungle (celebrity get me out of here) while still being an MP at the time. One might have thought that it would make doing constituency business that much harder.

    Why is the PM's Head of Communications even involved in a story about Boris's private life? Another misuse of public funds.

    Johnson threatens to sue The New European over the 'Carrie buyers remorse' comment, his mates jump in to support - but he backs down within a few hours, hanging them out to ridicule.
    Methinks he knows there are real life witnesses from the dinner more than happy to support the story! <laugh>

    Another Priti Nasty 'get tough with Immigrants' siren call. However, getting trolled by Albania probably isn't the most auspicious start....<laugh>

    To quote the bloke whose family villa Bodger recently stayed in:
    "When a man marries his mistress he creates an immediate job vacancy." - James Goldsmith.

    The prosecution were awful and the judge had a Trump campaign song as his ringtone.
    Expect lots and lots of guns to be carried around at protests in the future. Horrific implications.

    Probably could've told Carrie that himself, given he's on the board of trustees of her "charity"

    But don't worry, an AR-15 can be used to administer first aid

    That was Rittenhouse's defence. That and unconvincingly pretending to cry at five minute intervals

    What I love about this is that whilst most rational people could see Priti Patel was an absolute shyster and a fraud, those braindead right wingers who bought in hook, line and sinker into her dogwhistle politics are now either in denial or absolutely fizzing that she's as useless as a chocolate teapot <laugh>

    On a side note, I'm not a fan of Nick Ferrari but I have to say the bloke's been pretty balanced on his approach to this topic and the sleaze scandal. He allows the extremists to phone in and vent their bile but other than that he's been holding the government ministers to account on his show.

    Ferrari blows with the wind. He can see the tide turning and has gone from being a pro-Brexit apologist to suddenly starting to take the Gov to task.
    Will be interesting to see if this shift is maintained...

    Yeh and I have no doubt that in the channel crossing debacle he's also partly motivated by his views on those crossing the channel. So if they're increasing he's probably as pissed off as most Telegraph readers.
