When the Finnish PM was filmed dancing at a private party our media covered the story for days. When @KwasiKwarteng is filmed behaving like he's off his tits on drugs or booze and muttering to himself while guests observe a two-minute silence our media remains mostly silent.

Braverman's incompetence is well-known among my legal colleagues. How this woman reached cabinet ministerial office is a mystery to most observers in the legal profession. That Sunak will still not sack her is yet another indication of his poor leadership.

Solovyov talks about 'age limitations' yet he's only 59 and looks fit for his age. The Volkssturm's age limit was 60 but if the conscript was fit, the age limit was lifted. If he's so keen to die for the motherland, he should report to his local recruitment station and volunteer.

Feast your eyes on Vladimir Solovyov, the man of constant sorrow: he cries, he sighs, he lies. He encourages Russians to die for the Motherland and praises himself for his "choice" to give up his Italian villa (it was seized and he was sanctioned, so the choice was made for him).

Boris Johnson is a serial liar and a serial adulterer. That Tory activists don't see such behaviour as a bar to leadership of their party speaks volumes. If he'll betray his wife and his leader, then he'll just as easily betray his party and his country.

Laughable. Tory ministers expected their Festival of Brexit would attract 66m visitors yet with two months to go, it's only brought in 238,000. Like the Brexit project itself, the Festival has proven a costly, colossal failure! #BrexitBrokeBritain

Why does the media insist on seeking the views of Edwina Currie, a woman who has been out of politics since 1997, whose only achievement in politics was virtually destroying the UK's egg production industry and carrying on a four-year affair with John Major?

No @LeaveHQ YOU lot own this mess. We Remainers said from the get-go Brexit would be a colossal clusterf**k and we've been proved right. Your Brexit is the triumph of the myth of British exceptionalism over intelligence and rational thinking.

Britain has never been a tolerant country and racism is deeply ingrained in its history. Yet another myth peddled by British exceptionalists. Brexit has only encouraged the racists among us to come out of the sewers.

Some replies to tweets about the #JamaicaDeportations are truly vile and deeply racist. Has our country always harboured such filthy racism now given free licence or even encouragement by the hostile environment created by our government? The UK is not a tolerant, open country.
