Let’s be clear 10 Downing Street is the most secure building/street in the country No one arrives uninvited or without the relevant security clearance Every single person entering and leaving the building is counted in then counted out This is the easiest to solve crime ever

The Tories latest catch phrase is “Do you want to go back to square one with Labour?” After Gordon Brown & Alistair Darling steered the world through the global banking crisis, this is what Square One looked like in 2010 when Labour left office. - I’d take some of that.

Why did @bbclaurak put out the rumour that the London Mayoral election could go to Susan Hall? It makes absolutely no sense, especially as the BBC’s top political commentator, to speculate on an outcome before a vote has even been counted? This is a genuine question, why do this?

Where’s Johnson’s phone? What happened to the Tory MP who drugged and sexually assaulted FOUR colleagues? Who’s Charlotte Owen, why can she make laws we need to obey for her lifetime at £350 a day cost to us? Is the PM’s family still involved in Infosys? We need a free press.

Is there any way we can have a judicial review to rescind the peerages given by a Prime Minister who was thrown out of Parliament in disgrace, and a Prime Minister who resigned due to catastrophic incompetence? This should not happen in a functioning democracy, it’s just wrong.
