Morning.

I forgot about the shitfest over the pond this weekend. Needless to say, they're still beating us:

(Yet) another immensely dislikeable, smug, cossetted presence at the BBC, with one of the most pig-ignorant and tone deaf tweets of the weekend:

I urge everyone to watch the 3 minute interview May gave to Beth Rigby of Sky.

Also, this is a real tweet:

"A GOVErnment of all the talents. Welcome back Michael."

From Johnson.

Oh, that Chris Deerin spat from earlier, re left wing people being right about Corbyn?

It escalated quickly. See Owen Jones's Twitter. You really won't be surprised to see which Tory media staple makes Deerin out to be the poor abused victim of the piece.

And further to the condescension point, we have this... Pundits getting it in the neck, I see. A few points: [blah blah blah] so spare me the pomposity and the confected rage, and grow up. Or go read the Canary. https://twitter.com/chrisdeerin/status/873860497753464833" onclick="window.ope...

JHB gets schooled by - the horror! - actual voters on her ludicrous and sadly not unique view that combined support for Labour and the Tories = 80% plus support for hard Brexit.

One of the more interesting themes on Twitter in the last few days is the condescension towards left-wing (overwhelmingly under 40, many of them women) journalists who were way more accurate about this election than the usual gobshite blowhards like JHB, Toby fecking Young and Dan "2000 votes f...

There are seven people on the Sunday Politics panel. Four of them are Raab, Soubry, JHB and Tom Newton Dunn. I am trying to identify the others by their pictures but they are not familiar to me.

According to Yougov, Corbyn is now tied with May on "who would make the best PM" question. Both on 39%.

Apparently no Labour leader has tied or been ahead since 2008.

But there are still some churls saying he should be in front after the week she's had.

Emily Maitlis tweeted that Timothy's resignation letter was "thoughtful, honest and poignant".

It's actually specious, nauseating crap that - like that Times leader - is indicative of astounding denial in the Tory party.

What is going on with critical thinking at the BBC?

John Witherow has put today's Times leader on Twitter. It is readable, even on an iPhone SE sized device. It is interesting to an extent. However, it talks of May "insulting voters' intelligence" while itself making three references to Labour as follows: "A campaign as successful as i...
