@rayblundel And yet there are people who continue to be taken in by him.

Tory MP Sarah Bool says Boris Johnson resigned quickly when his position became untenable. Yeah, sure. All it took was the resignation of most of his cabinet & dozens of his Ministers and the privileges committee finding him guilty of misleading parliament. #politicslive

@TheMaid69333 @LiviaAugusta10 Wow! I don’t know whether you’re on a wind up or honestly believe that. I hope for your sake it’s the former.

@daddofriel @LiviaAugusta10 The fact he had friends all over tbe world and didnt share national secrets must be a plus as far as I am concerned. A man of the world literally. Could sit next to anyone. We dont agree thats life.

@TheMaid69333 @LiviaAugusta10 You can’t remember Johnson putting national security at risk? Is that apart from when he was foreign secretary, ditched his security to party with a KGB officer, lied about it and later put the man’s son in the HoL against security advice?

@LiviaAugusta10 @daddofriel I cant remember him falling out with America or putting National Security at risk. Two appalling things.

@TheMaid69333 He’s your preferred ‘awful liar’, is he?

@daddofriel Give me Boris any day to this awful liar.

@OwnYourVote I haven’t had a puff for a while, but now you’re tempting me.

@daddofriel Well that's what it should take. All seems rather trivial now.

@LiviaAugusta10 @Chelnigellines Yet some of his supporters and cheerleaders continue to hero worship him.

@daddofriel @Chelnigellines Not how I remember it. He was extraordinarily unwilling to go. Kept filling vacant cabinet positions as dozens of ministers resigned. Some were in post a matter of hours. Boris Johnson practically left his fingernails on the door frame.

@Norman63red It’s a puzzle alright!

@daddofriel The Tories trying to change history, I wonder why?.

@tomchapple1 @NerineHalton Must be?

@daddofriel @NerineHalton 51 ministers. Surely a record in the history of politics.

@rockypanda123 Haha! Only a matter of time, isn’t it?

@daddofriel My husband caught a glimpse of Vickers and asked if he was Reform. "Not yet" I said.

Matt Vickers on #Newsnight last night Richard Holden on #PoliticsLive today. Both graduates of the Johnathan Gullis school of charm and the only surprise is, that neither have yet jumped ship to Reform.

Richard Holden was special advisor to the useless Chris Grayling. Moved on to help run Boris Johnson’s leadership campaign and then became special advisor to Gavin Williamson. Knows how to pick ‘em does Dicky. #politicslive

I do think Keir Starmer was evasive in his answers when asked about his office seeking an ambassadorial role for Matthew Doyle. It wouldn’t surprise if we hear more about this. #politicslive

Here’s an idea for Labour MPs. Stop your off the record ‘unnamed sources’ texting to the likes of Nick Watt and Chris Mason. Put down your phones and get on with your feckin jobs. #Newsnight

Matt Vickers, another graduate of the Johnathan Gullis school of charm and probably next to be seen being welcomed on stage by Nigel Farage at a Reform press conference. #Newsnight

With the debate coming from Wales I thought perhaps the Reform candidate might appear via video link from HMP Cardiff. #c4news

@ginandfred Really!? He looks as if he was a minder for the Kray twins back in the 60’s.

@daddofriel I can’t believe he’s only 64 🤣🤣

Who’s this?

@LindaAizlewood Linda, I apologise. I disagree with you but I shouldn’t have been rude. Sorry.

@daddofriel That's a bit of a backhander. Anyway. I stand by what I see. As a reasonable person and not a conspiracy theorist.

@LindaAizlewood Fair enough, I didn’t think any social media conspiracy theory could surprise me anymore, obviously I was wrong.

@daddofriel I am.
