Decency matters, honest mistakes are fine and to be expected but fundamentally if politics is more about you than the people you encourage corruption. The Prime Minister cares only for himself.

Downing Street officials offered to waive restrictions on mourners for Prince Philip’s funeral. The Queen refused, on the grounds she wanted to set an example rather than be an exception to the rules. So they threw two parties instead. Full story in the brand new Private Eye.

Fascinated by the weaponisation of Islington. It was the first City suburb to be truly built up, once a hilltop village, but swallowed by the city by the mid-18th (Upper St house-lined by 1735), satirised as a healthy but deadly dull resort of well-to-do City tailors and lawyers

On Tuesday the entire workforce of both Guys and St Thomas's hospitals, two of London's biggest hospitals, will walkout en-masse (emergency cover will be in place) and hold a 30 min rally for action to secure the PPE and proper testing they desperately need.

This is a heartfelt and genuine plea. Please do not reward @BorisJohnson and @Conservatives for the manipulation, half truths, full lies and contempt of the people by giving them a majority. We can’t complain about Politicians if we elect the worst. #votetacticallynottribally

Ch4 replace him with an ice sculpture and he threatens their status. @afneil challenges him to appear, and he proposes removing the BBC’s license funding. Now he grabs a reporter’s phone: whenever this man is asked questions by the media, his response is to try to shut it down.
