alice in wonderland parliament protects a lying pm not those who call him out
This is for those who asked for a translation of the piece I have in this week's L'Express, a French news magazine, about Boris Johnson, which I posted on social media yesterday. Indeed, as the piece had to be cut slightly to fit the single page, it is a slightly...

Up next @katieprice and her sister Sophie … all go on @gmb
Made it back in time! Gearing up for a return to @gmb and @susannareid100 630am tomorrow. Just landed @heathrow_airport and first off must say it was the smoothest exit thru the airport I can remember in ages and ages. So thanks to Heathrow, Border Force and of course to @pritipatel … there, you didn’t expect that did you? Now I have your attention, could you please use any influence you have to get a government minister on the show tomorrow? Have just read the line up and on the brief a line stands out. ‘Government not putting up a minister!’ I have worked in government Comms. During times of national concern and challenge clear and consistent messaging and communication is a duty of government. Being challenged on its actions is part of democracy, especially when Parliament is in recess. Please don’t use the ‘it’s Labour’s week’ argument as that convention went ages ago. So if you or anyone in @10downingstreet are listening please put a minister up for interview. We have lots of other interesting guests, political and non political, but I think it is important the government is properly represented. We can kick off with my current love for the Border Force that my fears of a long Heathrow wait evaporated in seconds
Almost got the giggles here. Had @disgracecampbell in my head with one of her favourites … ‘Imagine what it would be like if your views actually mattered Dad!’ Fair point
This guy in Sharjah was bemused … kept asking me why we went ahead with Brexit when we knew it would lead to the kind of mess we see now. Good question sir.
Dead big in Sharjah …. Interesting how interviewers here seem able to join the dots between Brexit and petrol shortages and staffing crises in various sectors which are becoming big news around the world. Only in the place where the problems are playing out is our politics and media playing the new national sport of Ignoring Elephants in Rooms.
Don’t worry, not one of my insomniac posting nights. In a different time zone (clue pic 1) and have stumbled upon a new and exciting Tree of the Day category - Trees defiantly resisting being squashed by buildings!! Am in Gulf for a conference but back for @gmb tomorrow provided 🇬🇧 still functioning. Not looking good from afar.
They definitely knew I was coming. Check into hotel and find not only is there a cold water pool, but there is a Tree of the Day contender right there by the pool side.
Nice ready made Tree of the Day podium there, right out the train window
The front page of @theneweuropean was designed before petrol rationing became the latest sunlit upland of Brexshit. More relevant now. Ditto my column suggesting Labour Lib Dem omertà on Brexit helps nobody but the liars and charlatans who helped create the dreadful mess we are in.
No idea if this will upload. My morning ramble
