Dark and dangerous threats against MPs like me are a sign No 10 and Cummings are getting utterly brazen
This has a strong whiff of the 1930s about it - it is a right wing, nationalist government's attempt to suppress dissent Boris Johnson likes to hold himself up as a champion of democracy. Three months ago this week, in his first speech as prime minister outside No 10, he talked about Britain being the "home of democracy" and said our national flag - the Union Jack - stands "for freedom and free speech and habeas corpus and the rule of law and above all it stands for democracy". I don't disagree with him on any of those counts.
