“Nobody told me it was against the rules” is a pretty weird thing for a man who was on telly literally every night for an hour telling people what the rules were.

- Bonus thought: Nigel Farage now has to declare his income and donations.
- When you say “my parents worked hard to give me a good education” you’re saying two things. • State education, which I am in charge of, is bad and should be avoided at all costs. • If you’re a parent who can’t afford to do that, you aren’t working hard enough for your kids.🚨@RishiSunak: Keir Starmer attacks me because of where I went to school. I don’t think that’s very British.
00:00 - Entirely unclear why the outgoing and incoming Prime Ministers had to travel from London to Balmoral and back at broadly the same time on separate, identical 14-seat luxury private jets.
- So wait. The Foreign Secretary's phone comprehensively hacked, apparently by a hostile foreign power. And the Prime Minister and Cabinet Secretary agreed to cover it up so it didn't derail her chances of winning the race to be Prime Minister? Have I misunderstood any of that?
- The Home Secretary arriving by military helicopter in war-torn <checks notes> Kent. 67 miles from London. Takes 1h11m to get there by train, at a cost of £11.30.Suella Braverman arrived at Manston migrant camp today by Chinook after visiting Dover.
- “Stop listening to rich Remainers,” Cummings said as he left his £1.6 million Islington townhouse, which has a “tapestry room”, a reading room AND a “formal” living room. Perhaps en route to the medieval castle owned by his wife’s family?
- Jesus. Kemi Badenoch outright accuses Keir Starmer of blocking a national inquiry to prevent “Labour politicians” being implicated. Jaws on the floor across the house. #pmqs
- Imagine if, at the end of a gruelling day last May, a shift’s worth of covid nurses had rocked up in the hospital car park, in uniform, with folding chairs and bags of cans and sat around drinking for a few hours.
- Conclusive proof that anyone with £50, an Aldi within walking distance, a team of helpers, an industrial kitchen and a professional chef can make meals for 30p.
- One more time, because Boris Johnson keeps saying he thought he was attending “work events”: Work events were not allowed under Covid rules.
- Rishi Sunak, 7 December 2021: “No, I did not attend any parties”
00:00 - The BBC still have seven days to do the right thing and empty chair Boris Johnson, solo, for a full half hour. Nothing but @afneil solemnly asking the questions he’d like to ask the Prime Minister, with 30 seconds of silence after each one.
- Jamie Raskin notes that despite Farage saying he had to leave early, he’s currently being interviewed by GB News outside. They’re sending someone to ask him to come back.
