Go for it, pal.

The Chukka Umuna who recently joined the Lib's he'd trashed only weeks before shows double standards aren't the preserve of the Right...

Double standards and hypocrisy seem to be a requirement for entry into the commons

Any idea who shopped Gove over his drug use? I can't find any details.

Someone in the Uxbridge area?

Are you for real? Before he “escorted” her out of the room, he accosted and manhandled her. It’s borderline assault. Remind me not to let you provide any woman I know with an “escort”.

I watched the incident after reading the comments I just expected it to more aggressive unless I read it wrong I thought he'd half throttled her, but yes I agree he used to much force and can't believe he thought for a split second she had a weapon but it's not exactly Israel special forces abseiling from helicopters

So today's hypocrite of the day: anyone who thinks chucking milk shake over someone is a criminal offence yet a bloke grabbing a woman by the neck is in any way acceptable.

And I'll do everyone a deal - if no one trots out nonsense about 'Well she might've been a terrorist', like that pathetic old f*rt Peter Bottomley who toured the studios this morning insisting the lass could've had a collapsible truncheon in her handbag (give me effing strength), I won't conflate Field's behaviour into a precursor for wife beating.

PS: I've watched the full footage which shows the protestors clearly stating what they were about, several diners ushering them away in a measured and civilised manner, then Fields positioning himself to intercept the girl he manhandled giving lie to any claims of a 'instinctive reaction'.

Given what happened to his wife we might sympathise with the bitterness Tebbit retained towards Irish Republicans, as demonstrated by his sneering dismissal of Martin McGuinness's part in the Good Friday Agreement following his death.

However his spiteful attitude always extended far, far further.

For example, he appeared on Toby Foster's Radio Sheffield breakfast show not long ago where the host questioned why, as a boy during the '84/5 Miner's Strike, his family were stopped and turned around by the Police when they were simply going on holiday?

As always Tebbit trotted out a curled-lip tirade about Scargill-ite thugs supposedly threatening the rule of law and somehow holding the country to ransom.

'But what had that got to do with me and me mam and dad going away' pressed Foster?

At which point the façade totally slipped and 'Lord' Tebbit decided smearing the presenter and his honest account was preferable to a civilised discussion.

Before slamming the phone down.

Clearly the guru of right wing bigotry in the Eighties hadn't moved on an inch.

Sadly his heirs are enjoying licence he could only dream of...

Today's utterly shameless hypocrite of the day is - Teresa May.

Yup folks, the same Teresa May who sent out vans telling people to 'go home', who played a willing role in creating a hostile environment for immigrants and who's as guilty as anyone for the Windrush scandal...

..takes to our screens celebrating Windrush Day and the unveiling of a monument to those early arrivals.

I dunno, it's as though these characters live in a completely different world to the rest of us...

They don’t have any sense of shame. That’s the key difference between ordinary people and career politicians.

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

A real plethora of candidates for today's award, many as sickening as they're hypocritical.

First there're those trashing the protestors interrupting Hammond's Mansion House speech - apparently being moral and middle class somehow disqualifies their stance - whilst not uttering a single sylable to condemn Mark Field's, well, I don't think attack is too strong a word to use, on a much smaller female.

Or alternatively there're those - shamelessly led by the 'Telegraph paying Boris Johnson more in a month than many ordinary folk earn in a year - similarly smearing the neighbours who reported his 'domestic' whilst printing word zero to criticise his well documented treatment of women. But hey, given the booing and jeering of female journalists when his leadership bid was launched that might actually be a positive in the eyes of some.

Then there're Johnson supporters appearing on our screens insisting he's fully behind the so called Northern Powerhouse project - dubbed by many the Northern Powercut - and could unite the nation. Yeah, the bloke who insulted the whole city of Liverpool. Who published a poem describing the Scots as 'tartan dwarves' and 'a verminous race' who should be 'exterminated'. Who's never shown the slightest interest in provincial issues. And who's apparently happy to abandon Northern Ireland as part of a no deal Brexit that'd also devastate the North East far more than southern constituencies.

Meanwhile numerous Tory Party members still endorsing a bloke simply not fit for public office will this morning attend church services and nod along to sermons espousing family values...

Another dastardly difficult decision today.

The ultra 'remainer' Nick Clegg who's receiving a big fat pay cheque from 'Facebook' to tell everyone there was no undue influence from them during the Referendum?

Those bastions of integrity in the media who fall over themselves to print long lens pictures of topless royals, stories of celebrities in compromising situations or report 'domestics' involving footballers - especially black footballers, many might say - yet who insist the Boris Johnson fracas is none of anyone's business?

Perhaps those champions of free speech who jeered Ian Dale - that's the former Tory Party advisor Ian Dale - at a hustings when he pressed Johnson over the weekend's events? And who think women with multiple kids from multiple relationships belong on Jeremy Kyle whilst greeting their potential leader's infidelities with grinning, winking jocularity?

Maybe those who defended Mark Fields' manhandling a smaller female with 'What if's' that somehow don't apply to a scenario where a woman clearly shouts 'Get off me!'?

However in the end I plumped for a character who could have a season ticket on this thread - the Daily Mail's consultant editor Andrew Pierce. Now our mate Andy (which isn't his real name, by the way) has a very simple tactic - if the facts don't suit then smear the person revealing them. So it was no surprise to see him on 'GMB' getting stuck straight into the neighbours who called police to Johnson's flat complaining about invasion of privacy. Yeah, the bloke happy to ignore Ed Miliband's dad's Royal Navy service to dub him some sort of traitor, the bloke happy to publish headline after headline trashing the Labour MP for Peterborough for lying and the bloke happy to dig any amount of dirt on left leaning figures suddenly thinks focussing on Boris Johnson's failings is a gross intrusion.

And here's the real kicker - Pierce never knew his father 'cos he did a runner pretty early on. Though good luck finding a single syllable condemning the Boris Johnson who won't even be straight about how many kids he's got.

But hey, his sneers backfired when his sparring partner Kevin Maguire told him more neighbours had come forward admitting they too would've called the Police had those that did not done so.

Or maybe the entire block's filled with lefty Brexit hating remoaners.

Anyway, I'm off to wonder how Jacob Reece-Mogg knows the whistle-blowers are in his words 'Corbynista snoopers'. Unless someone's snitched on them in the same way they snitched on his mate...

Easy peasy lemon squeezy today - Boris Johnson finally gives an interview where he defends not discussing his 'loved ones' so's not to drag them into the public eye...

..the day after releasing obviously staged pictures of him and his 'loved one' (well, for now, anyway) in luvvy-duvvy poses.

The same 'loved one' he was also happy to place squarely on the public eye when announcing his leadership bid.

By the way, if she thinks all this is chaos, wait 'til she does Fathers Day at Boris Johnson's place...

Hee hee. Things are hotting up nicely. Another big piece about the deteriorating health of Saghari-Radcliffe on't BBC anawl. The wisest of his leadership rivals are the ones who plan to succeed him in a very short time.

Being anal, I found the photo interesting. His hair is long and unkempt unlike his current style, and implying to me that the picture is from archives and not, as suggested, proof that the couple have kissed and made up.

Well after being so roundly rejected by Tory MP's we thought we'd seen the last of Dominic Raab's crocodile smile for a while.

But unfortunately he was back in the studios this morning doing his level best to get fellow no deal enthusiast Boris Johnson into number ten.

Hey, he used to be a brief - maybe he's hoping to get the nod should any paternity suits suddenly appear.

Anyway, after joining the ever growing list of those turning the blindest of eyes to his mate's moral bankruptcies he clearly inferred it'd be the EU's fault should a Johnson led government be forced into a no deal Brexit.

Errr...what? Really? Seriously?

So let's get this straight; a bloke who's spent the last year or more assiduously advocating a no deal - despite dubbing talk of it during the Referendum 'project fear' - and insisting everyone, everyone who voted leave actually wanted a no deal is now saying it'll be a bad thing? Infact he's somehow suggesting it's not what he and his ilk are pursuing?

Wow - that's the biggest turnaround since he and Boris Johnson voted for the Teresa May deal they'd previously trashed.

And more than enough to earn Dominic 'I never realised the Dover to Calais crossing was so important to cross channel trade' Raab today's hypocrite of the day award.

PS: don't be surprised to hear more of those calling for a devastating no deal Brexit getting their excuses in early like this...
