I wrote about my obsession with Marco Pierre White, in this week’s issue of The Spectator. spectator.co.uk/article/my-mar…

I wrote a corrective to Londonmaxxing in this week’s mag. Any true Londoner cannot accept this sickly outbreak. They’ve made me slag off the city I love. But there’s a lot to be wary of… spectator.com/article/the-pe…

We’ve just put our latest issue to bed. Christopher Caldwell has written the cover. He argues that the Iran war will likely mark the end of Trumpism:

Nigel: will Reform devour the political class? By Tim Shipman and James Heale 🔸 Tom Bower: My 'deranged conspiracy' 🔸 Angus Colwell and J.G. Fox: The perils of London – a beginner's guide 🔸 Christopher Caldwell: Trump has betrayed Trumpism 🔸 Douglas Murray: Who'd want a Cameo from me? spectator.com

Max broke his arm while arm wrestling so badly that he heard a bang. Not enough people know this about Max. He has done the hard yards regarding pain. Great piece 👇

Newspapers around the world are in a bad way. Failures are everywhere, successes are rare. But while they may lack financial prospects, they retain political and cultural influence. To be a proprietor still opens doors, especially in politics. This attracts so-called ‘corrosive capital’, money from dodgy regimes that seek to buy influence in democracies by snapping up their assets: wind farms, airports and – the final frontier – newspapers. ✍️ Fraser Nelson Article | spectator.com/article/how-th…

EXC: The US first asked about the use of UK bases to attack Iran on February 11, SIXTEEN days before the first missiles flew. The first warship HMS Dragon will not sail until next week, by which point at least 26 days will have passed spectator.com/article/whose-…

The arts stuff is fine in comparison with the “swallows have returned to Yorkshire” stuff that I have to put up with. After the 8.10 the other day, they played birdsong for two minutes. “Beautiful”. Wet, wet, wet.

@alys_key Damn! How could I forget? Yes, RM Williams. God, would love a pair

@AngusColwell Love this. I think there's another signal, which is the sudden popularity of RM Williams boots as the luxury-but-relaxed work shoe of choice for the well-dressed London professional. Seen several VCs wearing them.

Are we all becoming... Australian? I wondered, in this week’s Spectator. spectator.com/article/strewt…

Industry is the TV series about bankers screwing, snorting and slogging their way to the top. The show’s co-creators tell me why the world of Westminster is now playing a much more central role this season: spectator.com/article/i-bet-…

Thrilled with our latest cover brilliantly designed by @LukasDegutis

On The Edition this week: is Britain ready for war? Lucy Fisher, Matthew Parris & Rupert Hawksley discuss Britain's defence challenge; whether the Mandelson scandal is bigger than Profumo; the organised gangs terrorising rural farmers in the UK; and, our obsession with conspiracy theories. @LOS_Fisher | @ruhawksley | @mathewparris3 youtu.be/XplGH5vAICg

From a funny and sneering 1976 Alexander Chancellor review of Ted Heath’s ‘musical memoirs’. Chancellor is “embarrassed… by his way of writing about music.” Then one for Starmer to enjoy: it ends with a wish that prime ministers have no “known hobbies”.

The biggest piece I’ve written for the Spectator - 3,500 words on how Starmer blew it. Packed with new details, telling quotes and analysis - every last bit of it from a Labour source spectator.com/article/author…

This is excellent, true and very funny!

This is a wonderful opportunity

Save Britain — go out for lunch this weekend! thetimes.com/article/5a5e89…

@SalemLola @JamesChiavarini Any time! Got an eye on the venison...

@JamesChiavarini @AngusColwell I fear a tasting session of the seasonal menu is in order… @AngusColwell, anytime you’re ready!

I have a food Substack side hustle, and did my 50 restaurants in London. In case anyone is interested, as we approach lunch time. anguscolwell.substack.com/p/my-top-50-lo…

@SalemLola I haven’t been to any of them! Though I’ve always admired MF walking past and thought the La Palombe menu looks great. For the 2027 edition!

@AngusColwell Bouchon Racine 💪 curious to know how you think it compares to Maison François, La Palombe, and Café Otto (which I put all into the same French-esque category that is really punchy flavour-wise).
