Just emailed Boris Johnson's office to ask for data on whether he has carried out any constituency surgeries in the last 5 years, and they have refused my request. I can only assume this means that he has held no surgeries in that time.

Used to like BBC News as a fairly unbiased source of reporting, but their refusal to run anything today on the huge news that Zahawi seems to be a tax evader means I just can't trust them any more. Where should I go instead? I will block anyone who suggests GB News!

@richardosefton There seems to be this almost cultish devotion to free speech, with people utterly obsessed with their right to say things no matter how offensive they are. I would imagine the same sort would insist on calling gay men "fags" and getting upset when told it's just not okay.

@EstherMcVey1 As you know, 92% of the small boat passengers in the last 5 years filed asylum claims, which means they are NOT illegal immigrants according to international law. Presumably you are including them rather than only talking about the 8% who don't.

@kelvmackenzie So someone's view is worth less because of where they live? Is there a formula for calculating the percentage of worth an opinion has? How do I tell this clearly scientific approach from just outright racism?

@LeeAndersonMP_ Lol, no chance. People really hate the tories now, and the more time there is for more scandals to surface, the more people will abandon them.

@drchrisnewton An mp from a completely different constituency with a history of taking radical hateful stances. Why should they engage with her? They aren't performing animals, they have every right to decide for themselves that Braverman isn't worth talking to.

Just heard on @LBC that ambulance wait times are at their worst level since records began. Thanks @Conservatives , really good work there. I'm sure people having a stroke are happy to wait for over an hour for emergency medical assistance!

@JuliaHB1 You have an interesting definition of "fact". It seems to be "whatever vile hatred I want to be true", which is definitely not the case. Trans women are women. Fact. Now that we've stated contradictory "facts" how do we resolve the claims to work out who is wrong?
