They're going to be struggling for willing and able candidates to defend him soon.
'The Brains' Truss and Car Crash Dorries only make things worse, Mogg is pretty much banned from making serious media appearances whilst most of the other serious ones aren't going anywhere near putting their necks out to defend him.

Raab again, apparently. I look forward to watching his faux-surprise-indignation-switch-briefly-to-placatory-look-like-a-taxidermied-frog act later on, when I have some time.

Yes so do I, the man is clearly talented, I also like the way he comes across as the essence of a gentleman when showing patience in abundance when Kay Burley shows her ignorance in trying to off put him when he veers from her script.

He has showed remarkable patience, on that we can agree. To and beyond the point of masochism, imo. In the defence of a man who demoted him not so long ago. There’s being humble and then there’s being active in your own humiliation.

Hypothetically would it be better to have no integrity or no pride, if you could only have one or the other? I think the former would make you a worse person but the latter would be an even less tolerable existence.

Your right but you won't get that from her, she's too big a mate of that Andy Burnham

I love the parallel world the hard right live in. Burley is as right wing as they come (if it wasn't already obvious, you can tell because she's also frankly a bit dim)

The last time I checked she did not make the rules and admitted her guilt unlike the man with the granddad tie on today. I wonder why the world laughs at us when that is the best we can turn out is that.

Sending him off to the Ukraine to "help" with diplomacy is akin to giving an arsonist a box of matches and some petrol.
It looked more like trying to get a different picture on the front pages of the papers.

How is somebody trying to help diplomatically akin to giving an arsonist a box of matches and some petrol? your choice of a euphemism is once again well off the mark.
