If I were Prime Minister I would simply not lie in a manner immediately contradictable by a man who has made destroying me his life's overriding focus.
Twitter should not be funny tonight but it is - very.
She still hadn’t been paid. Johnson pulled out his phone and sent a quick text: “don’t worry lovely Lulu, my pal Brownlow will send the dosh; I’ve promised to support his pet project - that way he can’t say no.”
Spox for Lytle: “Lulu was present in Downing Street on 19 June working on the refurbishment. Lulu was not invited to any birthday celebrations for the prime minister as a guest. Lulu entered the cabinet room briefly as requested, while waiting to speak with the prime minister.”
@JMPSimor They did play Pass The PCR test and trace contract and Pin The Blame On The Victim.

We might feel like idiots, but we’re not idiots for nixing parties, missing chances to mark birthdays, funerals, school leaving, work leaving. We were all trying to stop a pandemic. We did the right thing. They were sociopaths. And they need to be removed from responsible office.
The blindingly obvious successor is Keir Starmer. https://twitter.com/bethrigby/status/1485732721825656833
Former cabinet minister tells me majority of MPs want PM to get a grip, but it becoming harder as chaos consumes No 10 w no sign of stabilisation. But, PM helped by no obvious successor, which creates some inertia. That said, the attrition needs to stop. Move in 10 @SkyNews 2/
This should be a much bigger story than Boris’ birthday. 9 years and legal action to get a shitty apology. Absolutely outrageous. State sanctioned sexual assault for handing a child legal advice. No officers punished @metpoliceuk https://twitter.com/theipaper/status/1485732573787701256
