Chris Grayling should never be in the same sentence as the word intelligence unless it’s preceded by ‘lack of’.

Chair of the lack of intelligence committee seems the perfect job for him.

This Jenrick business. You could make yourself ill with the rage. They release all the very damning papers and an hour later Johnson puts out a statement saying he now considers the matter closed. Please get coronavirus again.

Mr Desmond sent a text to Mr Jenrick saying, in apparent reference to Tower Hamlets' Labour council, "we don't want to give Marxists loads of doe (sic) for nothing".

Internal emails from the Ministry of Housing suggest Mr Jenrick was "flagging" the project with his officials, warning them there was "sensitivity with timing", and asking them to advise him before Christmas.

In one document, a civil servant said the secretary of state wanted the development signed off the following day, adding "on timing, my understanding is that SoS is/was insistent that decision issued this week ie tomorrow - as next week the viability of the scheme is impacted by a change in the London CIL [a planning charge] regime".

The documents released make clear that Mr Jenrick supported the housing project, in the face of opposition from his officials.

Mr Jenrick also released a letter to the chair of the housing communities and local government select committee revealing that he informed civil servants of the dinner with Mr Desmond a month later, in December.

 

Could it be more blatant than that?

Nadhim Zahawi somewhat missing the point when asked how it can be fair for a rich Tory donor to get this treatment when an ordinary voter in Doncaster can't. His response was that the voter in Doncaster can also attend a Tory fundraiser dinner where they'll find Tory MPs in attendance. 

 

That he thought that was the question being asked and this was the answer tells you everything you need to know about these people.

The fact that one is no longer and MP and one no longer a MEP was a bit of a give away. The real kicker was the Thursday 8th December line. ;)
