Nige offers up a lazy drive-by on the ECHR in a spot of pointless performance politics

Sarah Pochin is unwell. She hasn't been seen for days.

Not at any of the three Reform press conferences in three consecutive days this week. It's not as if Reform has so many MPS to go round that her presence wouldn't be missed. The last Sarah sighting was on TalkTV last Saturday, where she could be spotted frantically counting the number of black and Asian actors in adverts. One, two ... two too many ...

Safe to say Sarah now can't bring herself to turn up to the House of Commons. Not out of shame but because it causes her to go even madder when she has to observe the black and brown faces on the benches.

But Nige at least was in the chamber for prime minister's questions. Unlike last week, when he sat the session out alongside his old Brexit mucker Arron Banks in the gallery. Apparently that was meant to be a protest at not getting enough attention during PMQs.
