Sunak is as skilled as a politician as Johnson is as a footballer (Johnson is also terrible at politics, ethics, writing, etc ad nauseam)

Look at this tackle: 'ambushed by a stupid cake'.

Sunak is a charitable man.

He donated £100,000 to his own public school, Winchester College, which charges £49,152 p.a. for borders and has net assets of £385 million.

Meanwhile, state school teachers are taking food into work to feed hungry kids.

Behind every statistical decline, are 1000s of kids who never had the chance to have their futures changed by even a taste of art. Alongside child poverty stats, the deliberate impoverishment of arts education constitutes an appalling legacy for this government.

The RSPB RSPB guide taking us around Highnam Wood in Gloucestershire to listen to nightingales in the gloaming last night was just brilliant. To hear two males in full song, and a female croaking back, was a privilege.

My mother-in-law made this border for us, hours & hours of labour on the border. There's love & family in them there flowers.

The evidence from polling is clear: there is no support for tightening of visas on the graduate route. The public understand this. Time to stop the senseless self-harm to our economy and to focus on backing our national assets. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

So proud of these students' silent, peaceable response to the provocations of extremists and partisan journalists. Brilliant.
