If this were repeated at a general election, the Conservatives would win a total of 13 seats (and it would be the best night's television of all time).

This is simply embarrassing.
It is one thing to be tactical about Brexit. But to welcome Elphicke who dispensed some of the most shameful anti-migrant rhetoric with open arms is beyond cynical.

Really not a good look.

I'm saying nothing, 😬

UK has done exactly that.🙄

We've endured the wettest 18 months since they started measuring almost two centuries ago.

'Miele seems to have set out their starting position in no uncertain terms – “that all such cases should be terminated” because the Post Office was “unable to provide that Horizon was wholly reliable”. '

'The NHS needs more doctors, and this year saw a record number of applications from medical students to start junior doctor training. But problems behind the scenes have meant many have not yet been found jobs...'
