It has been a very, very long week. With an obscene amount of heat, and of news.
It is hard to believe it is only five days since Theresa May launched military attacks illegally, without parliamentary approval. Her work in deporting a large number of UK citizens (see also: Windrush generation and landing cards) has actually played slightly in her favour, distracting from her bombings.
Some of the more politically aware of you may recall a while back, Tory former Minster against Employment, now Work and Pensions Secretary, Esther McVey, saying vile things about rape victims to a Scottish Parliament committee.
She, a member of a Government that abolished its own legal duty to work against child poverty, explained that it was okay to force women to explain that they were raped to get the tax credits they need to feed their children because it was giving them "an opportunity to talk about" their rape, making it "potentially double support.
That was Monday.
