I often focus on the Tom Harwood roaring twenties tweet too.The thing with Johnson is he was a lazy shambolic character and it could always go wrong ( Tory MPs knew this) . Similarly so much of the current situation is based on one man, "Nige" and therefore inherently has a potential for fragility.

He'd make a pact with Jeremy Corbyn if it got him into power.

In my view the only way back in is incremental in various senses in the same way the out campaign gradually trashed the EU leading ultimately to the referendum. It could take a scarily long time for the EU to be convinced we're worth the bloody hassle for one.

I have been known to see somebody on the street I don't want to speak to and pretend my phone has gone off and answer it and pretend to talk.

Even if the Gaza Ceasefire holds – and I'm so sceptical – Trump needs to rein in his expectations of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

The one announced tomorrow will be for 2024 – when he was spending more time in court than playing dress-up as peacemaker – and they aren't awarded posthumously.

When I'm in a Billy no mates situation I can pretend it's arisen because I was looking at my phone so nobody wanted to disturb me.

I rather think the headlines may be different in the morning based on the Gaza Israel developments

Feels a bit like if it's not a disaster they always have to say it's a triumph

I'm glad somebody else spotted that. Feels like a sort of nervous tic that makes her seem needy and ultimately vulnerable
