Absolutely no shame. The man who was run of number 10 by his own party, and was found by the standards committee to have deliberately and repeatedly misled parliament, is now lecturing in political science. No doubt for big $$$$.

Nine years ago a Twitter user was sending poetry to Sadiq Khan about London’s many cultural identities. A decade on, Reform UK’s mayoral candidate doesn’t dispute it was her old account - so what’s changed?

Incredibly, no-one on Nigel Farage’s team has got round to deleting this post. It’s still live as Robert Jenrick gives his big defection speech.
