I thought this would have been commented on by now but it’s been quite the day on brexit island.
What to do when you’re on the ropes and desperate, why you spew out slanderous memes and outright lies of course.
It had been confirmed that the police are investigating potential criminal behaviour in his own Downing Street flat, and Boris Johnson’s response was to repeat an absurd, untrue conspiracy theory that’s been doing the rounds on Facebook for years
Then the leader of the SNP gets ejected because he has the sheer gall to speak the truth. Good for him.

Munira Mirza, head of policy at No 10, resigned this afternoon after telling Mr Johnson his claims about the Labour leader was an "inappropriate and partisan reference to a horrendous case of child sex abuse"
ETA: I think two more have jumped the sinking ship as well.
ETA II: Though if you read between the lines this lot were going to take the wrap over the frat house parties so the Savile nonsense was just a convenient smokescreen to get out now.

Does the post of home secretary tend to attract a certain type of applicant?
With this (and suppose most) of our governments in recent history.
The post is given to the worst person you could possibly imagine for the job…
Culture minister with no concept of culture
NHS minister that hates the very idea of the NHS…
Rince and repeat…

promulgated . If, by “promulgated”, you mean “deliberately and malevolently read a slanderous conspiracy theory into Hansard”.

Not a victory. Anyone who Priti Patel will support will be far worse.
The Met Police needs denazification, and not the watered down version post-WW2 either.

Indeed but i still think she had to go, too many failings and if only another leader would do the honourable thing and step aside.

How did that work out with George Galloway? Or Ken Livingstone?
And, just to remind everyone again, Rosie Duffield is still a Labour MP.
