Isabel Oakeshott’s Importance Delusion
she is effectively telling the Tories that they must talk to her and her pals, and do so in short order: “The [Brexit Party] won’t cut [the Tories] any slack without some kind of electoral pact. Which nobody on the Tory side seems to be discussing”. Perhaps they don’t want their party to split any further than it already has done?
The appearance outside 10 Downing Street yesterday afternoon by alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson - complete with official lectern, and with the media previously softened up by the Squirrel! - style diversion of a rescue puppy - only served to heighten expectation of an imminent General Election. Especially because Bozo The Clown decided to talk about one, even though he had no need to do so.
Dan Hodges - Pants On Fire
After those attempting to stop alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and his chief polecat Dominic Cummings allowing the UK to crash out of the EU without a deal had published the bill that they are intending to use as the instrument of prevention, the Pundit Establishment, having duly studied the text, began to pronounce upon it. One of their number pronounced wrongly. And continues to do so.

Tom Harwood Row - Enter Evan Davies
After all the adverse comment passed on the BBC’s propensity to give airtime to the likes of shameless liar Tom Harwood, replacement teaboy to the perpetually thirsty Paul Staines at the Guido Fawkes blog, one might have thought that the Corporation’s own staff would keep their heads down and leave the clear-up to Lord Hall-Hall and his minions.
The Spiller Of Tea put it bluntly. “Our morally bankrupt abdication of our responsibility as a public service broadcaster leads us to book ignorant gobshites who we’re fully aware will further lower the standard of political discourse in this country with their demonstrably false wank”. To which another Tweeter added “He’s using your footage to publicise his views to his own audience. Do you think that audience also knows where he’s coming from and how to interpret it? Or do you think that perhaps they see his views gaining legitimacy through being aired by the world-respected BBC?” Well, quite.
