I'd happily supply the picture of my arse but my psychic powers aren't what they used to be.

Watched the start of Newsnight to see if there was even an oblique reference to Mailtis' disappearance, but of course there wasn't.

I've know slime moulds with more spine than the BBC.

I didn't start watching it, there was no point, I'd have switched off after the first bluster.

He'd rigged that committee twice hadn't he? Jenkin as chair, and Tugendhat and Ellwood banned, and he still couldn't handle it.

Our current splash by Rowena Mason reports that 60 Conservative MPs continued to defy British PM Boris Johnson’s calls to “move on” from the Dominic Cummings crisis as a senior minister broke ranks to accuse the special adviser of inconsistencies in his account of his behaviour during lockdown.

The intervention of Penny Mordaunt deepened the turmoil within government following revelations by the Guardian and Daily Mirror that Cummings had travelled 260 miles to his family estate in Durham with his wife suffering coronavirus symptoms.

The former chancellor Sajid Javid also said the journey was not “necessary or justified” as the number of backbenchers calling for Cummings to resign or be sacked grew to 44, with a total of 60 Tory MPs weighing in to criticise him.

Two of those condemning Cummings are government whips.

I thought that was only when she interviewed Barry Gardiner.

He went on 'I'd rather be appearing on a platform with European neo-fascists'.

Poor little boy , that Maitlis is a right terrist ! !

Exactly, I thought that was apparent at the time and yet the best they could come up with to explain away driving his wife and kid to a nice place on her birthday was testing his eyesight. That's what made it so offensive, the lie was so utterly, insultingly preposterous. If he'd simply said 'Ok mea culpa, I drove my wife and kid somewhere nice on her birthday, I'm sorry' I think he'd have got a fair amount of sympathy. But this lot are so fanatically intent on never admitting to even the tiniest of mistakes he couldn't do it and is now a figure of scorn and ridicule. The once mighty mysterious svengali is now a laughing stock. And that will never go away, it's with him for life.

As is editing his blog to make himself appear prescient.

It's little wonder he's avoided the limelight up until now because as soon as it shone on him his mystique went up in flames and what has been revealed is a second rate pseudo-intellectual with all the appeal of a moist tissue left on a bus seat. He's a busted flush and johnson is welcome to him.

You have to wonder about what excuses they rejected before they came up with the eye test. I was told my son's favourite wrestler would be there? I was delivering essential supplies to a friend of my Aunt's because she had fallen out with her neighbours? IT! WAS! A! SUNDAY!

Of course what the 'eye test' means is 'We are pissing on you. All of you. All over you. We just don't care. We're pissing on you and we're laughing about it.'

More of m'swedes.

Someone please just buy him a comb.

So let's see, Daniel Kawczynski is an apologist for the Saudi's, the European far right, he encouraged a foreign government to scupper the efforts of our own that he sits in by asking Poland to veto May's withdrawal agreement and he has the brass necked cheek to whinge about the behaviour of a journalist?

This man should be being whipped through the streets of Shrewsbury naked along with all those who voted for him.

Let's see what that would do to Twitter's porn filter.

I'm in. And I'm here and ready.

My son thinks he's a water vole and needs to chew reeds and dig a hole in a riverbank once a month.

While under the influence of Coronavirus I had sculpted Barnard Castle out of mashed potato and decided it was important.

A big boy called me a nerd and made me do it.

Delete away Adam. And this is the problem the Mail and all those brexit fools have.

They've voted for people who could not give a fuck about them.

It's striking that if you look at the comments in the Mail all the most popular ones are anti-Cummings expressing disbelief at his behaviour.

And I'm afraid that leads me back to writing 'I told you so' across my arse and mooning them all.

Because we did. We warned them time and time again. But i feel no sense of victory, or schadenfreude, more an urge to smash their heads in with a spade then leave the country. Which isn't pleasant.

But what can you do?
