    If had any honour he would resign. If MPs had any honour they would demand it. If the whole ridiculous bunch of them had any honour they would apologise for what they have done to our country.

    Spare a thought for heads and staff today. Williamson handed them half a plan for mass testing on the last day of term. They were sent changing plans throughout the Christmas holiday. They changed lesson plans. They’re professionals. They get on with it. But they deserve better.

    What I’ve learnt about schools this year is that by the end of today everything will be sorted, routines and systems will be in place and they’ll be cracking on with the job. Schools, headteachers, school staff. You continue to be amazing. You’ve let nobody down.

    Johnson’s excuse for screwing up - I was too busy focusing on . Johnson’s excuse for screwing up - I was too busy focusing on . The fact is he lost interest in both - if he was ever really interested in either - a long time ago.

    If a deal with the EU really does come down to herring, as it seems it might, who gives a squid? Is this really worth the grief? Why not simply compensate UK fishing boats for any losses and just move on?
