There were fifteen other post office ministers besides Ed Davey during the Horizon scandal, yet Ed was the only one who met Alan Bates and tried to get answers from the Post Office. If you're criticising Ed and you can't even name one of the others you're just a Tory puppet.

To put a bit of perspective on the results, Labour just won an election with 34.1% of the vote. Mid Beds now has an MP that 65.9% of the people there didn't want. First-past-the-post is not democracy.

There is no route to No. 10 for Keir Starmer that doesn't involve the LibDems taking 25+ seats off the Tories. Labour need to accept that and work out a plan accordingly, unless they want to be in opposition until at least 2029.

Indeed, if you're a Labour supporter joining the pile in on Ed Davey, or indeed a LibDem joining the smears on Starmer then, congratulations, you're a Tory sockpuppet. Murdoch loves you.

Both the LibDems and Labour plan to fix public services by growing the economy. The difference is the LibDems would rejoin the Single Market, so their plan is actually credible. Labour, on the other hand, are just going to wish really hard.

The Tories are becoming synonymous with sleaze. People were bringing up Liz Truss' lunch bill on the doorstep today. The consensus seems to be that they just can't help themselves (or should that be they just can't help helping themselves?).

Brexit is costing us 4% of GDP. The defence budget is 2% of GDP. So, basically, as a country we are spending twice as much on Brexit as on defence. Does that sound sane to anyone?

Just a reminder - Brexit is still not 'done'. We are not implementing import checks from the EU, because we'd starve if we tried. We are not implementing the NI protocol because we still haven't figured out how to make it work. Brexit will never actually happen.

Johnson wasn't finished off by 'the Blob', or by civil servants, or by Remoaners, or any other paranoid fantasy. He was finished off because the public saw what he was and didn't like it. And the Tory Party is never slow to wield the knife on losers.
