Now there’s a boast for the grandkids, I made the word just a little more slovenly.
Such pride in our fall.

Going on @BBCSheffield to discuss clothing and politicians as I'm the first male Lord in over 300 years not to wear a tie in the Chamber This is the clobber I'll be wearing today! Judge us on what we do not on what we wear!

I am no fan of Refom but every time the @timespolitics @guardian mentions Geroge Cottrell the prefix it with “convicted criminal.”. They must prefix Louie Haigh then with “convicted fraudster.” Not to do so is to show disdain for professional journalism.

When Arthur Andersen introduced “Dress Down Fridays”, it’s said that the managing director Simon Cundey was asked whether this was the end for Henry Poole & Co and Savile Row.
“It won’t be the end of Henry Poole. It’ll be the end of Arthur Andersen.”
And it was.

They can't ignore the fraud conviction
It matters.

I'm hearing that Louise Haigh, Andy Burnham's right hand woman, will be Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, running a beefed up cabinet office that will be the "political engine room" driving the PM's agenda. She will *also* be first secretary of state, a role held in previous govts by George Osborne, William Hague & Pater Mandelson. The last & only woman to hold the role was Barbara Castle, who Haigh has said in the past is her political hero.

I quite fancy a snickers bar.
I do not have any snickers bars.

@JamesCWarne The next seven weeks look interesting. PM without Parliament.
Does he think there won’t be politics?

Surely a 10 year plan, to be delivered in six months, is a recipe for massive in-fighting, lobbying, back-biting and chaos?

@Herewar66545077 Sorry, foolish me, and tractor production will pass all previous records.
All are stakhanovites now.

@GHWTowler Nonsense Gawain. Factionalism is a thing of the past, because the evil Starmerites have been purged. It's all going to run very smoothly from here.

Today we’re out supporting the nations farming industry at the Royal Welsh show.
Here’s what a Reform government, in Wales, would do to inject some momentum into this critical sector of our economy.
Hear from @CatCullenMS
@LauraJ4SWEast and our Deputy leader Helen Jenner.

British Citizens are now treated as '3rd country' in Gibraltar thanks to Picado and Starmer. x.com/danbarker/stat…

@GibraltarGov @FabianPicardo So in summary: British Citizens are in the 'third country nationals' line, whereas EU citizens go the same route as Gibraltar Residents.

@Kevin_Maguire Trust me chap that is not our response. Your man is baking in failure with every sacking, and guaranteeing chaos by offering us a tractor production figure in 6 months.
We are genuinely looking forward to the next few months.

Farage and Reform would've been bricking it watching that Burnham speech.
Fluent, authentic and promising change for the better.
They should've been careful what they wished for when wanting Starmer gone.

@GBPHS @breeallegretti It sure that is true, the word is used generally as well as particularly

@GHWTowler @breeallegretti Only a monarch is 'crowned', so using this construction marks the distinction.

ICYMI: Whitehall frustration over at political turbulence has been bubbling up.
I revealed on Friday that a Cobra meeting was held on the escalating Middle East conflict - while Burnham was being coronated as the next Labour leader.
“There were ministers in the room that won’t be in post in 72 hours discussing things Burnham isn’t involved in yet, while he was on stage dancing,” one official despaired.
From our weekend read:

I’m staggered that Burnham has promised to end rough sleeping across the country. It was his biggest promise when he became mayor of Greater Manchester and he didn’t come close. Here are the numbers, as revealed by @ManchesterMill last month.
English
The sort of No 1 priority of a caring council leader, not a prime Minister.
Undoubtedly a good thing, but surely not the No 1 priority.
Harry Cole@MrHarryCole
No1 priority.. first orders from Burnham "to end rough sleeping in our country."
