I've seen some pretty ropey comms in Westminster over the last 20 years. I am struggling to think of anyone stupid enough to have overseen a PR campaign like the defensive, insulting, naive, desperate prattle that has been emerging from the Metropolitan Police this week

Earlier we posted a statement about a video released on Thursday evening by the Campaign Against Antisemitism. That statement has now been removed. We apologise for the offence it caused.

When you break a difficult story on the Tories Boris Johnson’s people think you’re a pain in the arse reporter. When you break a difficult story on Team Corbyn his fans assume you’ve made it up because your an evil Tory. Which tells you something

Corbyn starts by attacking the media. Seriously, mate, your own voters just stuck two fingers in your face. Man up and own it

A senior Whitehall official gets in touch about Morduant and the maternity bill. “She fought AGAINST the change to ‘women’. The way she’s trying to rewrite history to suit her is despicable. While she’s supposedly campaigning on character and values. can’t believe the hypocrisy”

It is hard to think of a single public servant who has failed so consistently and comprehensively as Cressida Dick over the last 20 years. You do wonder what it takes for people to resign these days
