I should say that I managed to find an Uber & 3 people to share it. This is not a personal whinge. I’m lucky but I am embarrassed that this is the welcome people get on landing in the country
I wonder whether @GavinWilliamson ’s obsessive interest in the personal, sexual & financial peccadillos of his colleagues & willingness to deploy that info has anything to do with the fact that @RishiSunak - like all recent Tory leaders - hired him & is now sad he’s left the govt
Sad news. A true great. David Butler was the grand daddy of all election poll watchers, analysts, academics & pundits
Why does @bphillipsonMP hate the phrase Red Wall? Born, brought up in & now representing the North East Labour’s Shadow Education Sec talks to Political Thinking about life, books, being an extra on Byker Grove, education, crime, Brexit & more 🎧
She wanted a “Spinal Tap” govt with the volume turned up to 11 her speechwriter tells “Liz Truss's Big Gamble, the inside story of the UK's shortest-ever premiership”. Why did no-one stop her ? Listen tonight at 8 pm on @BBCRadio4 & @BBCSounds
There’s much more than this if you listen to the whole programme John !
Listen to my half hour conversation with @UniteSharon about the “bad tribute act” of leaders; how she negotiated a rise in her pocket money; led a walk out from her 1st job as a waitress; uses leverage to fight for workers rights; the NHS pay dispute🎧
Report of the independent adviser on ministerial standards handed @RishiSunak a loaded revolver by criticising Zahawi for failing to be open with officials & misleading the public over the enquiry into his tax affairs.

Trump’s attack on ’s Jim Acosta is an attack on the right of all journalists everywhere to ask tough questions of people in power. That’s our job
Was pleased to secure an in-depth interview with @trussliz on BBC1. I am disappointed & frustrated it’s been cancelled
Can anyone explain why it makes sense for No 10 to allow a story to run that the “triple lock” is under threat then allow @JamesCleverly to use the same script this morning & then, finally, for @trussliz to say it will be protected after all ?
Isn’t the real story about @BorisJohnson today that he still doesn’t have 100 MPs prepared to say publicly that they support him; he didn’t get get the endorsement of the Conservative papers & he hasn’t got the support of old allies like Charles Moore & @DavidGHFrost ?
Not long ago @jeremycorbyn faced a crisis trapped between Remainers & Leavers and was shunned by other opposition parties. Now he’s able to stand up for democracy, work with a cross-party alliance & appear statesmanlike. Is that what people mean by No 10’s new strategic genius?
This is the Bank of England’s answer to ministers’ claims that the war in Ukraine or global interest rate rises are the key to the UK’s economic crisis : “The five largest daily moves in the 30 year inflation-linked gilt have all been since the (mini-Budget on) 23 September.”

I can’t remember seeing a poll as clear as this. The public heard the PM’s explanation. They heard Dominic Cummings. A very clear majority simply aren’t buying it @DailyMailUK
