    The rottenness of Boris Johnson goes deeper even than his casual racism & his equally casual courting of fascism. He will advocate literally anything to play to the crowd of the moment. His career is a saga of moral emptiness & lies; pathetic, weak & needy; the opposite of strong

    The Prime Minister attending the *celebration* of the repulsive Paul Dacre's 25 years as editor of the disgusting Daily Mail is another depressing sign of the sickness at the heart of UK politics & the Tory Party weakly traipsing towards the edge of a cliff.

    Trump on course to get the highest share of non-white voter for a Republican Presidential candidate since Nixon in 1960 - more than twice what Romney got in 2012, nearly three times what GW Bush got in 2000 x.com/adrian_gray/st…

    What the hell is wrong with these people? Do they have no moral compass at all?

    Opposition to a People’s Vote is just the resentful, petulant realisation that the country has changed its mind & undemocratic determination to stop that fact being allowed to be seen.

    If none of the PM’s officials or political advisors made him aware yesterday of the Rashford campaign gaining such rapid momentum, raised in the Commons & explicitly rejected in his name by his official spokesperson, that suggests a completely dysfunctional & inept No10 operation
    Prime Minister says he only became aware of Marcus Rashford’s campaign on free school meals “very, very recently- in fact, today.”

    I have come to the same conclusion as Michael Heseltine, for exactly the same reasons - and will be voting @LibDems in Thursday’s European Parliament elections.

    If we weren’t so punchdrunk by the relentless awfulness & endless lies this would be - which it should be - a full-on national scandal. What good reason could there be for a PM to suppress a report on Russian meddling in UK elections?
    NEW: Dominic Grieve says he’s “extremely disappointed” the report on Russian ‘interference’ cannot be pub’d. Says cttee had made arrangements to print & lay report b4 parliament dissolved but blocked by PM. Says procedures need to change so this can’t happen again

    This is the point: Johnson, Gove & their crew literally promised that we would never face these hard choices. They said the exact scenario we now face was Project Fear lies. They were certain the EU would give us a deal more or less as good as what we had. That’s why they won.
    It’s worse than that... it’s a decision he and others pretended they would never have to make.

    It’s really not OK that the President of the European Commission is a drunk who can’t be allowed out in public after lunch. It’s not at all OK if he touches anyone inappropriately. A responsible, ethical institution would have zero tolerance. This is nothing to do with Brexit.

    Brexit is & has always been an English Nationalist project, which was always bound to tear the UK apart.
    SO after furious complaint about @michaelgove refusing #Brexit extension, the Scottish and Welsh govts of @NicolaSturgeon and @fmwales Mark Drakeford refuse to take part in consultation ahead of @BorisJohnson meeting on Monday. Message: this will be an ENGLISH, TORY #Brexit.

    Johnson said: “Too many care homes didn’t really follow the procedures”. Like Trump he refuses to accept responsibility for anything. And like Trump the response of his government, when challenged on his appalling remarks, is plain lying.
    Replying to @joepike
    No 10 have since said: ‘Throughout this crisis care homes have done a brilliant job under very difficult circumstances. ‘The PM was pointing out that nobody knew what the correct procedures were because the extent of asymptomatic transmission was not known at the time.’
