Like a lot of Twitter I'm choosing the 'why would anyone read a Shakespeare biography written by Johnson' angle. I am part of the problem.

[smalex]

Right?! Sure England can produce a bone fide expert to write a book about Shakespeare.

[sally maclennane]

But he's posh, and he went to Oxford, and he knows Latin! Surely that makes him an authority on everything?

This is the real question.

[Morganna]

No, 'To be or not to be?' is the question.

[Turtle Bean]

The trouble with Cummings is he might well have all the dirt but he is also massively dislikeable and has no credibility.

[Bat Macdui]

And he goes on a bit.* I've lost interest in favour of the "how's Johnson going to finance his wedding?" debate. Crowdfunding/sponsored by JCB are being suggested.


*A lot

[Ella77]

That's what they want us to do. Focus on the wedding, I mean. Why they have to have a big wedding is beyond me*.






* focuses on wedding.

Because this is TROO LUV, Ella. The 56yr old twice divorced father of ...er...some kids, and the attractive 33 yr old social climber are devoted to one another and want to share that love with their friends and family.

[Ella77]

It's a tale as old as time .

[smalex]

We, as a nation, are truly blessed to be able to share in this joy.

(Do you think there's any possibility of an extra bank holiday AT ALL?)

[Ella77]

Nope.

[smalex]

Fuck him then. He can make do with a Iceland buffet in the back of a pub.

[Bat Macdui]

Cummings tweet thread is up to 55. 55!

We need a better distraction than Johnson's wedding. I am already deeply nostalgic for the time that boat got stuck in the Suez.

Though I was so cross earlier I wrote Labour's entire economic policy in my head on the way to the library. I might email Keir.

[smalex]

The wedding isn't even until next year, is it? As distractions go, its a shit one.

[Bat Macdui]

Wasn't his first marriage annulled? The Catholic Church can be so totally dodge.

[Bat Macdui]

Someone totally bought that.

[Morganna]

Fuck him then. He can make do with a Iceland buffet in the back of a pub.

[Morganna]

Will he have to make his wedding gifts a matter of record, along with their donors?

[Bat Macdui]

Because no-one should miss Ian Dunt's take on Dominic Cummings giving evidence to select Committee today.
