OK, everyone. I think it’s time I told my Boris Johnson story. It’s a story about the time as foreign secretary where Johnson committed a straightforward resigning offence, got caught out, then got away with it.
Thread.

Punishing the innocent to "deter" the guilty has a grim history.
The 1834 Poor Law, satirised in Oliver Twist, envisaged that the "The Workhouse should be a place of degradation. It should be as repulsive as is consistent with humanity".
It aimed to deter people from being poor

Utterly extraordinary that such a statement ever had to be made. I’m no big fan of the Board of Deputies but they were absolutely right to call Braverman out.
Board of Deputies of British Jews hits back at Suella Braverman after she used an event on antisemitism to tell it to stop criticising the government’s policy on asylum seekers

Amazing isn't it. The "woke progressive left" opposed Brexit, opposed austerity, oppose this government's handling of migrants, have opposed - in fact - pretty much every single shitty thing that the Tories have done since 2010.
But they're in charge. What remarkable logic.

Members of the elite
- Anyone criticising the Government
- Anyone defending minority communities
- Teachers & university lecturers
Not members of the elite
- Government ministers
- CEOs of FTSE 100 firms
- News channels owned by one of the largest media companies in the world
The old elite derived their status from wealth, titles, estates, & leisure time. The new elite increasingly derive their sense of status and moral righteousness by embracing radical "woke" progressivism

Something which hasn’t got nearly enough attention, in every sense.
The way we vote is changing. On Thursday 4 May, you’ll need to bring photo ID to the polling station. Don’t have ID? You can apply for free voter ID. Find out more at electoralcommission.org.uk/V…

The Tory collapse began not with partygate but Owen Paterson. The public hates blatant displays of unfairness and old-boy collusion and also, in the main, hates Johnson. If the Tories conspire to protect him it may end very badly for them.
Worse, actually - it would make parliament look like a public-school club where the Tories gather to protect one of the boys while a woman MP with few friends in the Commons gets the harshest possible treatment. It would make the Tories look corrupt.

It will be extraordinary and damning if Ferrier gets a harsher penalty for breaking Covid rules on one occasion than Johnson does for supervising industrial-level rule-breaking and lying about it in the Commons for months on end
MPs on the Standards Committee recommend 30 day suspension for Margaret Ferrier - if agreed by a vote in the Commons, triggers automatic recall petition and opens up possibly of by-election in a seat Labour won in 2017.

The only thing that suggests that might happen is four of Johnson’s committee members- Costa, Jenkin, Walker, Dorans- voted against. That would be a majority. But would those MPs now tolerate such a visible imbalance? To let Johnson off would make parliament look weak and absurd.

This just makes no sense even on Raab’s own dire terms. The current culture war on drag is not by ‘woke’ activists demanding the end of something that oppresses marginalised people but the anti-woke right attacking what they claim is LGBT indoctrination of children?!
If you’re going to use a comedian who has just passed away to make stupid points about “wokery” you could at least have the courtesy to know their name is not “Paul Grayson”

Incredible. Dominic Raab responds to Chris Bryant's warm tribute to Paul O'Grady, by referring to him as "Paul Grayson" and complaining about "wokery" in comedy. #PMQs

The only acceptable form of begging is asking for 10K a day from South Korean companies on a zoom call. This way, you can cover your fine too.

As the Justice Secretary takes to the airwaves once again to boast about “putting victims at the heart of the justice system”, your reminder that victims of rape often have to wait five years for a trial, and @DominicRaab is not doing a single meaningful thing to address this.

When asked if he has any conflicts of interests with his plan to subsidise childcare agencies, Sunak replied: “No, all my disclosures are declared in the normal way."
In reality his wife has shares in one of the companies most set to benefit from it. inews.co.uk/news/politics/ri…

Our nation needs more Lily Savages / Paul O'Grady's and fewer hateful, witless, wit-free, right wing, bigoted, mutton headed arsehats who pilfer all their fear and loathing from the cess pit of the American right and want to turn back the clock on progress.

What a fucking life led. Truly. Back when the Met stormed into the RVT for it being a gay bar, all wearing rubber gloves to “protect” themselves during the HIV crisis, Paul O’Grady was on stage as Lily and immediately quipped “Looks like we have help with the washing up!” Iconic.

RIP to Paul O'Grady. I suppose we'll see this clip a lot today, but it can't be shown enough.
I'd love to know what went into its being broadcast and if he ever got any pushback. I've never seen anything so dazzlingly, righteously angry on Consensus Approved TV since.
