Hi Nadine, this is your Uber driver. You said you were behind some bins at the back of a pub and that I should follow the smell of the gin but I think you scampered over the wall. Is that you smashing up the public defibrillator and screaming at strangers outside the Millets?

Sincerely love how ANY effective tactic utilised in British politics is berated as Dark Arts.

Market research? DARK ARTS. Astroturfing bad candidates? DARK ARTS. Having a good slogan? DARK ARTS. https://t.co/8VsZqiqBdk

There was, of course, a slight issue.

Dirty tricks? Stitch up? Dark arts? But hang on, didn’t the Johnson camp do exactly the same in 2019, lending votes to Hunt to ensure Johnson didn’t have to face Gove in the final run-off?
