Tories cancel media interviews and leadership debate because they’ve just realised how bad they are! @SkyNews should put together a compilation of their stuff defending Johnson for the last 2 years and run it instead!

Next time I get a bad reaction to a column I've written, I will announce that, from now on, I'm not actually going to publish any of my writing – they will all be "secret" columns – but I still want to get paid. https://t.co/FAZQvAVqfw

To conclude …
If I understand right, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak both want to be PM of this country…
…But they don’t want to have their manifestos debated in public by their own party. pic.twitter.com/nwlq4wLKB0
