More importantly captures strategy labour need to adopt.

Posting tweets from Femi, in a non-mocking way? Shame on you @ISMF :joy:

Just read a great anecdote about Dennis Skinner.

In Parliament he said that half of the Tory party were liars. He was rebuked by the Speaker and told to retract. So he said, ā€œok, half of the Tory party aren’t liarsā€ :joy:

He was apparently suspended from the chamber for a day but this must have been totally worth it.

I’m loving that she’s been outed!

I’m conflicted though. It’s crazy to believe everything that Cummings says based on history, but everything negative he says about the government is pretty believable given our knowledge about their (in)abilities.

Cummings is throwing anyone and everyone else under the bus, but what I don’t understand is why no one has asked the question as chief political advisor to No.10, what role did he play in all of these decisions?

Mr Cummings says after April, once the UK had switched to plan B, fundamentally there was no proper border policy ā€œbecause the prime minister didn’t want there to be a border policyā€.

But wasn’t the whole idea of Brexit about gaining control of the UK’s borders? So if he didn’t want there to be any border control, what was the point of brext?
