Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

'Farage Boats' is a useful term and should be normalised.
“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

The likes of Jenrick are not conservatives, but radical nationalists. They have ceased to pay even lip service to the rule of law or institutions. They have given up on economic arguments. They have turned to sowing division and advocating destruction for destruction’s sake.

There's a distinct 'end of term' feeling for me today. Just a couple of jobs later, then I'm as 'off' as it's possible for a self-employed person to be until boxing day.
Hope everyone manages to get a decent festive break over the next week.
