In general, I don’t give a fig where someone went to school, but The Week in Westminster has Charles Moore, Old Etonian, & Lord Sumption, Old Etonian, pronouncing on Johnson, Old Etonian. Bad, bad journalism

@Andrew_Adonis I’m not sure if some realise quite how grotesque it is that the Army, pitifully reduced itself, should be patching these predictable, Brexit -induced holes

@ThatTimWalker He’s doing his Sincere voice. So people will overlook the ‘What first attracted you to the daughter of one of India’s richest men/Goldman Sachs/hedge fund’ reality behind all the smiles

HearIng Gordon Brown on imported medicines & the threat of No Deal, & recalling his son has cystic fibrosis, there cannot be a family in the country that is not touched by this very real danger to the health of a loved one in some way

@JolyonMaugham So what first attracted you, Rishi, to the daughter of one of India’s richest men? His whole life, from Head Boy onwards, is one of calculation and self advancement.

@ThatTimWalker @kam_hussain5 What about costs of 2 new ministries, 40 new agencies, IT systems for customs, EU nationals, civil servants to run it all. Must be billions

@SimonUbsdell I’m so sorry, if it’s any consolation, though I’m British, I think about it every day, often many times a day, Brexit is the toxic prism thro’ which one receives everything this corrupt govt puts out & much of the media too.

@hamsterjamm You are absolutely right. The depth and intensity of the pain is completely misunderstood. I hope people will turn it to good effect by ousting this cruel government

@peterjukes If there is any silver lining to the Brexit tragedy, it is that those of us who are proud to call ourselves liberal have been galvanised into action. I'm ashamed of my former, complacent belief in our national institutions. Many more of us care now, Arron Banks, so beware
