One government official who is close to Cummings claimed he was employing a “Jose Mourinho strategy”, a reference to how the former Manchester United and Chelsea football manager would often deliberately make inflammatory public interventions to attract media attention to himself and relieve pressure on his players.

yeah not convinced this is a strategy as such - certainly not a successful one

Good time to point out that Mourinho hasn't won a league title in 7 years.

Hodge apparently lost her trigger ballot so will have to go through reselection.

Not counting any chickens but I’ll have maracas.jpg on hand in case.

if we get a Corbyn government before she's deselected I'll be celebrating with posh booze, cos he's going to increase Carer's Allowance to the same as JSA \o/\o/\o/

I see it’s time for “Margaret Hodge defeated the BNP” fantasising again, as though she wasn’t literally criticised by Labour for some of the comments she made about housing!

I know I always say how fucking awful Peston is, but Jesus fucking Christ

Lots of people think Cummings wants to blow everything up. For what it is worth, I think he sincerely believes that a second referendum would lead to much greater civil disorder and damage to the fabric of UK than a no-deal Brexit. He may be wrong, possibly grotesquely...

For someone who lies all the time he's not a very good liar.

The Left is most certainly not behind the triggering of Margaret Hodge in Barking nor was it the result of antisemitism. I’m told it happened because members on the Right had expected her to retire & want an MP who actually lives there, not one who has always lived in Islington

You might think lying is bad, but out in the country, outside London, people think very differently.

Possible explanation

As we drain the red wine, Lansman talks of some of the hobbies he would like to indulge upon retirement, including a musical taste that ranges from jazz to British folk. A few months ago he went to watch The Grateful Dead in Mexico alongside other bearded beatniks of a certain age

"40 new hospitals". good to see the BBC just copy-pasting conservative party press releases earlier - at least they're now deleted it

It's money to upgrade six existing hospitals over the next 5 years as well as some money to develop plans to upgrade a further 36 at some point in the future. It's not a promise for "40 new hospitals."

award winning data journalist at it again, I see

In actual scientific polls conducted by YouGov:

-> 64% of businesspeople support a four-day week

-> 63% of voters support a four-day week

-> 81% of voters want schools to be run by the public sector

A focus group of 10 people does not contradict scientific polls, James. https://t.co/tnjLdOt8NK

Dr Peter Gammons on why he left Bxp for UKIP. He's fallen out with Farage cos he's not racist enough! Some awful strained fake laughter at his "witticisms" yet no laughter at his name, but tbf he's no Max Gammon.

surely one of these Gammons is gonna turn out to be a low quality satirist hiding in plain sight

I try not to comment too much on individual Labour MPs' activities, but thousands of ordinary people give up hours and hours of their time for free to try and get Labour into government, and stuff like this from one of their own MPs is just insulting pic.twitter.com/l7g5Y2pm4L
