Just when we thought this shower couldn’t possibly get any worse, they’re really surpassing themselves, with a new crop of evil self-serving xenophobic bigots! So I was spurred on to add a new tag Tory, from which I offer some highlights:

Many posts were “inspired” by Boris Piccaninny Watermelon Letterbox Johnson:

• Drawing a line
• Yet another Peak Week for British shame
• Get a proper speech impediment, FFS
• What I can tell you is this
• note to In the kitchen 2.

• He’s a clever little boy
• Breaking news
• A presumptuous guardian of language
• Some non-Daoists

• Vassalage.

Shading off into Brexit:

• The c-word.

More from the brilliant Rachel Parris:

• News desk.

And to introduce a gory new chapter in the omnishambles,

• Cooking with Suella!

These posts are but a modest footnote to the brilliant dispatches from John Crace and Marina Hyde—the latter’s columns introduced here.
