After last night's shitshow, with a minister hurriedly trying to silence legitimate questions, let's have no more remote Downing Street news conferences. Covid-secure, in-person questioning please, in the £2.6 million room built during the pandemic.

Lest we forget... Chris Grayling was warned on #bbcqt , back when David Dimbleby was still host, that there would be lorry queues 20+ miles long at Dover. Needless to say, in true Grayling fashion, he dismissed it with a show of arrogance and ignorance.
