Diary entries from Boris Johnson's Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance reveals his frustration at the PM's inability to grasp basic scientific concepts. Facts had to be repeatedly explained to him and he'd then forget them again within hours and need them explaining again.

Amazing to think that in September Number 10 was briefing so vigorously that it was going to win that senior politicians were contacting me to ask whether something had been stitched up between Government and Supreme Court.

It was clear from the outset that the #Rwanda policy was illegal. Yet more tax payers money wasted by this failing Conservative government, rather than working across borders and seeking more compassionate solutions.
