Nope, I said and showed evidence that Rwanda was starting to have a deterrent effect but it was killed off very early. But we've debated that already.

It's either that or it shows that some of the other measures that are actually happening might be having some effect. Or it is a fluctuation not a trend.

I don't think Badenoch was always doomed to fail. As others have said she is extremely arrogant and refuses to be questioned or accept any push back on her views, similar to Truss. She also makes stuff up indiscriminately and is known to be a profligate leaker to the press, again much like Truss.
I suspect Cleverly may sneak it. I used to think Tugenhadt was a decent(ish) bloke, but he has pandered to the more extreme side of the party which is a shame.

I suspect the MPs will narrow it down to a halfway decent moderate and one batshit crazy candidate that no one would possibly vote for.
The party membership would then be forced to chose the halfway decent candidate, right?

You can be certain that they'd get flak if the numbers were reversed so they may as well take some undeserved credit while they can. Works both ways.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Hang on, I thought they were all waiting on the French coast ready to come over once Labour got in power... or am I misremembering something someone said?

She's really not terribly good at reading a terrible script (don't take those eyes off the autocue for more than one second, Kemi!!). Probably why the gaps she left for applause ended up being, well, just gaps.
Still, hats off to her, she's still blaming Gordon Brown and Tony Blair.

I'm confused why the BBC had to bin their interview with Johnson just because they'd sent him the questions. It's not like he was going to try to answer any of them.
0 -
Or would have even read the email/notes that were sent to him by mistake.

It would be much more fun if Victoria Derbyshire did the interview. Not that Johnson would agree to do it.

I don't suppose even Stevo is going to buy Johnson's autobiography, but just in case anyone's tempted...

While I'm on Terrible Tories...
I like the way Peston leaves this to the end...
If anyone in the Tory party wants to know the nitty gritty of all this, possibly they could ask for an introduction from the former minister Lord Frost - because his spouse Harriet Matthews has been the lead official negotiator for the foreign office on the Chagos treaty with Mauritius.

yep, this has been in negotiation for a long time
the un and icj were clear on the matter: it's not the uk's territory, and the usa has been pressuring the uk to sort this out for a while
mauritius is an ally of india, hardly fertile ground for the chinese, even less so now that they've regained their territory

The other 'faux outrage' Get Rayner DJ thing in Ibiza... apparently she was simply invited into the booth, and everything else about the holiday was paid for by her... no money at all changed hands, and guess who declared it as a 'gift'. The sheer desperation is off the scale, especially given what the previous administration was given a pass for, not least Spaffer Johnson.

I was watching SAS Who Dares Wins the other night and Rachel Johnson was on there. She was appointed team captain for a task and commented along the lines of she's not great at being a leader and it is genetic as most people will understand. Made me laugh. She also seems a bit pissed off that people give her grief due to her brother including strangers walking up to her to say that her family are a bunch of c***s which seems a bit unfair on her even if is the truth.

Given Bad Enoch and Jimmy Dimly are obvs on the wrong pantone number skin wise, choice for the Believers has to be between DisHonest Bob and the other one...

I thought it would be hard for me to hate Spaffer even more. He now regrets apologising for partying when others couldn't go to funerals. Always someone else's fault. It would be great for Labour if he did come back... he's got so many skeletons in the closet, as well as being utterly odious. Eddie Mair's "you're a nasty piece of work" was so spot on. 40 seconds is probably more than enough for anyone.

Bad Enoch. Just spat my teeth out.

I could be remembering wrong but didn’t he appoint her to do the investigation after Simon Case recused himself 🤨

You can see the mask slip and all the petty resentments come to the surface. Classic hallmarks of a sociopath.

I don't mind unpleasant people if they still get good stuff done, but he's just a nasty, vindictive, entitled, lazy and incompetent arsehole.
Re the aborted Kuenssberg interview, there's a vaguely plausible theory going round that LK had meant to BCC Johnson in along with her researchers etc. with the briefing notes, but put them all in the CC box instead. Victoria Derbyshire is a much more impressive interviewer.

Not quite sure that Telegraph Matt is completely justifying his £3000-per-cartoon at the mo. Are they supposed to be vaguely amusing?

That's supposed to represent the whole conservative parliamentary party.

That was my first thought with all the empty seats.

Something tells me that that's not quite the 'joke' that Matt intended... but it's funnier.
He's just not very funny (or at all) when he tries to do what his paymasters want him to do, but is mildly amusing when he does modern life confusing ordinary people. But these days he's well past his best-before date... I don't think his heart is in it. Mind you, I don't blame him turning out boring tosh at £3000 a go. I suspect he's kept on as one of the last vestiges of what the Telegraph used to be, so that they can pretend that they haven't turned into the XL version of the Mail with double-barrelled names.

They are so screwed.

I did predict the Tories would lurch to the right.
I can only assume that 90 or so MPs have been promised shadow cabinet positions.
