JB - Matthew Parris talks about the need for right wing leaders to be arseholes here, something that he's personally uncomfortable with:

And in case anyone missed this story, it seems Trump's team tried to book the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia for their press conference about electoral fraud, but got the wrong Four Seasons - and got a small gardening firm in a parking lot... but went ahead with it anyway (British papers a little coy sayingit's unclear why they'd book a landscaping firm - nope it's obvious they got the wrong Four seasons and tried to brazen it out, check the hotel's twitter timeline):

And then Giuliani gets told mid conference that Biden has just been declared president. I'm not laughing at their stupidity... cough splutter.

And finally the Government (i.e. Boris) agrees to provide free meals for those who qualify during the Christmas holidays.

Compassionate Conservatism or just political expediency?
