Haven't got time for a full #TheWeekInTory right now, but here's what's happened so far TODAY
1. Scott Benton, who looks like The Mormons have brought out a line in plastic MAGA backroom sociopaths, offered to ask parliamentary questions and leak restricted documents for £4000

2. When found out, he burst without warning into a spasm of auto-parodic genius, claiming the fact he'd offered to leak reports should be overlooked, cos the report into his leaking was leaked
3. He said he'd be appealing. But honestly, he really, really isn't
3. He said he'd be appealing. But honestly, he really, really isn't
4. So today his appeal was rejected, and Tories will face yet another electoral drubbing incident
5. Meanwhile Benton's fellow right-winger are predicting Tories face a "Canada 93" election, which resulted in Canadian Conservatives ending up with just one MP. It won't be Benton

6. Nick Boles, minister under David Cameron, is now "doing all he can" to ensure Labour wins the next election
7. Evidence shows Cameron, proof that you can polish a turd, knew all about the Post Office scandal, but intentionally ditched measures to investigate and fix it

8. Kemi NotGoodEnough was accused of sacking the Post Office boss because "somebody has to take the blame", and it wasn't gonna be the Tories
9. She told parliament this claim was all lies

11. This could tragically scupper Badenoch's lifelong ambition to lead the smouldering ruins of the Tory party into a generation of obscurity
12. Meanwhile, the Tories are reported to have buried their own findings that Brexit means "no pathway to success" for British farming

13. And after 7 years telling us Brexit meant freedom from EU red tape, the govt is now asking the EU to add more red tape in an effort to stave off yet another banking crisis caused by the Tory obsession with deregulation
14. And that's just what's happened THIS MORNING

I'm rushing this out because I'm busy working on a new book about Sunak.
