This is the end of the argument. Ironically, it is the absurd GB News having to endure this masterclass in simply articulated, balanced, fact-based, expertise. If you believe any other version of events, good luck tying your shoelaces this morning.

Of the lies that Sturgeon, Farage & Johnson tell, the sacarine nationalist assurances that seperation will lead to better relations is among the most toxic They know that seperation is alienating. Borders bring friction, inflammation & endless opportunities to blame of others

Dr Caroline Johnson stood down as Tory party vice chair and said that Johnson's “errors of judgement” had “squandered the goodwill” of the party, and that he would “only damage our party and therefore our country" if he stayed. She has now told Times Radio she is backing Johnson.

I got all six numbers on the national lottery last night, but I don't feel like it's the right time to win all that money, so I have ripped up my ticket

Nicola Sturgeon and Jacinda Ardern resigned of their own record when they'd had enough. Boris Johnson was kicked out by his own party when everyone else had had enough.
