Grapevine:- Rupert Murdoch stopped Boris running for leader. The papers would've hauled Boris Johnson's personal life over the coals #Boris

this would be major news on a normal day

it was in the script too, not off the cuff

"Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions of Israel than our Muslim friends are for the self-styled Islamic State"

Yes, I've seen someone on Twitter say that his announcement about his campaign isn't the first time he's instructed something to be aborted.

Get Ken in their to calm everything down IMO

Theresa May has played an absolute blinder through the referendum campaign.

She's the Apprentice candidate who avoids being project manager in the early weeks, let's a few of the loudmouths get eliminated and then steers a ship of quiet competence to the final.

I hope it's Leadsom she is matched up against.  She's the competent face of Brexit on the Tory side.

Very good

Presume you heard that Ken only mentioned Hitler 11 times in his submission.   Can't see what anyone is getting upset about.

The writers' room for British politics is full of cocaine and competitive men shouting, "Think that's a twist? This is a fucking twist."

I will run for leader of Tory and Labour parties. Danaerys Targaryen agreed to be running mate. Good for female vote + keeps dragons onside.

All this talk about Jeremy Corbyn being a kind and recent man. It's rubbish really, isn't it.

footage coming up on the news apparently

"Jewish MP Ruth Smeeth hounded from the launch of Labour's antisemitism inquiry in tears by Corbyn supporter. This is all getting worse."
