Hancock has done some stupid shit but choosing Oakeshott to co write his book and trusting her with all his WhatsApp messages has got to be right up there.

I'm loving it. That teaching unions chat makes them look fucking awful. I can't believe the moron willingly gave it to a journalist.

I think calling Oakeshott a journalist is a stretch 😉

Fair. That goes for most of the Telegraph staff too. But still.

Apparently Boris is giving a speech somewhere...saying NI Protocol was shit but that it was his fault for not realising at time how shit it was, but Windsor thingy isn't much better....and that he doesn't get why he got a covid fine....but also reminding everyone that when he stepped down tories were only a few points below labour...

...so doesn't look like he will support the deal, but he might not oppose it either. I guess see which way the wind is blowing Bozza.

So far they haven't really told us anything we didn't already know.

This ‘Sue Gray is a Labour plant’ will run and run, despite Spaffer putting her in charge of the inquiry. It’s the new ‘Starmer let off Jimmy Savile’ story that desperate right wingers will cling to…

Also been in the public gallery in the US Senate. Weirdly that was easier for foreigners than Americans. They had to prebook through their senator, tourists could just walk up with your passport and after a check and search you were in. Weirdly lax on security once in too. I ended up wandering down a corridor I absolutely shouldn't have. Post 9/11 too. Suppose they knew I'd been searched/scanned on the way in.

I can only presume that this might have been tightened up after the US Capitol riots 2 years ago... maybe.

They’ll moan on about it but ignore that this is what both Blair and Cameron did to prepare for government.

Yeah very desperate. If they had any sense they'd want all this reminder of partygate to go away.
