Does LOVE RAT MATT’s embarrassing self-own tell us anything we didn’t already know about Boris Johnson’s moral universe? And should we stop chortling given that his replacement Said Javid is promising “irreversible” unlocking? Why is Batley and Spen the ugliest by-election in recent history, and how much of that is George Galloway’s fault? Plus, the fiasco of isolation for hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren. And what’s going wrong at GB News? 

• “You can’t have ethics and standards as a resigning matter because if you do, Boris Johnson will have to go himself.” – Ian Dunt

• “I found myself ogling the Hancock video and thinking, What have I become?” – Ros Taylor

• “I don’t mind if Matt Hancock has an affair but I don’t want to pay for it.” – Ian Dunt

• “There’s a new politics of resentment to the rest of the UK and the feeling is, you’ll only get investment if you vote for a Tory MP.” – Ros Taylor
