Who needs Spitting Image?! They are doing it all themselves without any need for latex.

She looked so smug when bullying was brought up and Johnson said it was something they were against.
Yes, that's why she was still there and not fired, because the tories don't tolerate bullying.

Sunaks gurning was disgusting as well when Johnson said we were all better off.

I didn't watch PMQS (it's unbearable) but I read that Patel was wearing an anti bullying ribbon 🎀- is this right?!!!

If true it’s a wonder she didn’t self combust.

So the woman who wants to leave the ECHR to send asylum seeker claimants to Rwanda for processing (so they aren't illegal immigrants at the time of being sent) as a way to punish the fuckers who give a flying fuck if they die on the crossing, and has been found to be a bully ......

Thinks wearing a fecking ribbon that says against bullying makes her a virtue of niceness.

There is just no lengths this government won't stoop to to make some point is there?

And let’s not forget this woman’s bullying was the catalyst for BJ’s first ethics advisor resigning because he ignored findings that Priti hadn’t upheld standards and had engaged in bullying behaviour.

I checked and she was indeed wearing an anti bullying ribbon. The whole of the Conservative front bench was. Quite amusing.

Interesting tweet from James Johnson providing a rough analysis of how to interpret the by-election results later today/tomorrow.

Johnson is off for 3 international summits in 9 days, must be fun for him with all the law breaking going on.

Lying bag of lies. Looking forward to him getting his arse handed to him via the by-elections today.

Any predictions? I reckon Wakefield will go Labour with 57% of the vote and Tiverton Lib Dem with 47%. When I say 'reckon' I obviously mean 'hope' 😁

I think Labour will win Wakefield - Tiverton and Honiton I wouldn't like to say.

But I would love it, if the LibDems won in T & H with something like a majority of 50 votes and we had to listen to Rees-Mogg going on about how it was a good result for the Tories.

@Peregrina Yes, that would be hilarious!

He is in Rwanda, meeting Prince Charles later

Dan Bloom is reporting from Rwanda
Boris Johnson has been read a story by Rwandan school children about Hetty the Unhealthy Hen. The kids read “Hetty was an unhealthy hen. She never did exercise. She slept all day. She ate lots of unhealthy food”, per pool. Bit on the nose!

(More as we get it, etc…)

Thangam Debbonaire: The top prize, auctioned off, at the Tory party summer ball was a £120,000 slap up meal for 4 with the PM.. the audacity of Torys MPs telling foodbank users that they don't know how to spend their money, when a donor is prepared to pay £40,000 per failed PM..

They were all "successful" PMs - in that they fought GEs and successfully formed governments.

Until they lost - or resigned.

That fate too will come to BJ Hopefully sooner rather than later

Landings apparently VERY painful after a sinus op.

Really? That’d be awful

In Rees-Mogg country some years ago, his sister was standing in a local election. Enterprising locals had plastered her posters with stickers in large capitals TOFF OFF. I hope many of them have a vote today.

Just in case anyone else was wondering - results from both by elections should be released between 4-6am.

Thanks Notonthestairs I shall wake to a day of hope fingers 🤞

NEW UK has given Rwanda entire £120m for asylum plan - and it’s already being spent, despite no one turning up yet.

Rwanda's government spokesperson tonight declined to say if the money will be handed back if the whole thing collapses in the High Court

I'm struggling to believe Theresa May would willingly sit down for a meal with Boris at the same table. I wonder if he's just assuming he can bully her into it?

How very typical that her first response is anger at the question rather than shame at her department's megafailure.

WHAT? £120 million lump sum before they've "hosted" anyone?
Utter financial madness.

Yes but as Johnson keeps telling us we can afford it because of the decisions he made 🙄

Same as how we can give each household money because of his decisions.

At some point he'll cotton on that we shouldn't need to hand out cash. Peoples wages should cover cost of living.

But apparently we should all take a pay cut and be grateful for extra handouts if we qualify.

The man is a complete loon and fucking clown

I know I sound dramatic but I'm really appalled that they'd spend so much tax payers money on a project that was always on shaky ground legally.
To agree to send £120 million pounds and no means of recouping it at a time when people are struggling to pay bills.
I try to limit my cursing on MN but all other words fail me. Fucking cretins.
