I honestly can't think of a difficult political problem to which Boris Johnson is the answer
Unless the problem can be solved by giving a funny speech loose on detail
But that's not a difficult problem is it
His speeches are pretty funny though. The EU leaders will love him!
His causal racism which he never apologises for is not funny
Boris gave a funny speech, problem solved!

And yes I’m aware this is terrifying
This one’s marginally less terrifying

Raab, Patel and Cummings are the new holy trinity of undermining human rights laws, now at the centre of government with a PM who will go whichever way the wind blows. Be afraid.
Here’s a thread on Raab

Political attack campaigns have a place - every party does them. But it’s worrying that the current Labour Party seems most comfortable when it’s striking out, calling others enemies, defining good vs evil (and guess who’s always on the side of good...)
One of the things which worries me most about Labour is how it responds to criticism - generally lashing out, attacking the messenger and an almost total lack of self-awareness. Forget politics for a moment - no institution can succeed with that approach in the long term
Super ironically the sinister ‘secret files on Jo Swinson’ video reminds me of this nasty attack video made by Israeli right wingers against human rights leaders m.jpost.com/Israel-News/Is…

Boris Johnson is Britain's new prime minister, despite a career filled with instances of incompetence, dishonesty, bigotry and racism that might have barred him from the job a few short years ago. @FutbolsaCountry parses Johnson's rap sheet for AJ+. (1/13)
Johnson has a reputation for reckless blunders. One example: as Foreign Secretary, his remarks about Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe, a Reuters employee jailed in Iran, were used against her by Iranian officials. She's still in jail. (2/13) theguardian.com/news/2019/jun/…
The UK's new prime minister is Islamophobic. Last year he compared Muslim women wearing niqab to "letterboxes" and "bank robbers." This prompted a spike in hate crimes, with victims targeted by assailants who repeated Boris Johnson’s exact words. (3/13) newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20…

Boris Johnson will become Britain's Prime Minister today.

To mark the occasion, here's 37 lies, gaffes and scandals that make him unfit for the job. #wearewatchingyouboris #BorisLieBuster
1️⃣ The Times sacked Boris in 1988 for making up a quote in a front-page story.

Rather than admit his lie, Mr Johnson wrote a further story saying “the mystery had deepened”.

2️⃣ When he was sacked for lying about an affair.

By 2004, now MP for Henley, Boris was sacked as Tory vice chair and Shadow Arts Minister after it was decided he had lied about an affair with a journalist.

Let’s talk about Boris

One of most disreputable, toxic, selfish politicians I’ve ever met. As Tories choose between British Trump & ex-Health Sec who’s mission was to destroy health service, let's remember why #Johnson is #UnfitForOffice
[Many threads]
2018: Letterboxes
Wrote that women wearing niqab looked like “letterboxes” & “bank robbers”; triggering attacks on our Muslim community, “letterbox” graffitied on homes, and giving racists new language in hate speech

2008: “Blacks have lower IQs”
As editor of the Spectator he was responsible for - and clearly condoned - this racist drawl. He and his racist worldview has no place in Parliament, let alone @10DowningStreet

My reaction to that DiFi video was that it was almost certainly edited to make her look worse than she really acted ... and hey, I was right!
Honestly if you think Dianne Feinstein is the problem on climate change I give up
You’d think after Covington we’d all be a little gun shy about getting outraged over edited videos ... oh, who the f am I kidding

(1) The extreme accommodations being offered by Grassley & Mitch are the greatest #BlessYourHeart in history.

They know she will NEVER repeat her allegations under oath.

They know the votes next week WILL be 11-10 then 51-49.

They know Kav will NEVER be impeached.

#Chill
(2) OK I used a little poetic license in Tweet #1. They can't know exactly what the votes will be; there's more than one way to #ConfirmKavanaugh next week. Any judge *could* theoretically be impeached on a new issue, but IMHO Kav is the least likely person ever to commit crime.
(3) I've had it with all the shrieking over this confirmation. No, ongoing Democrat slime ball tactics to undermine Kav once he's on the SCOTUS are not going to succeed. Haven't you learned this by now?

The more they try, the more they show voters who they are. #WalkAway
