“The book wasn’t Wes’s idea but, if he does ever have a pop at the top political job as so many people expect, it won’t do him any harm to have a tome about his disadvantaged London roots on the shelves.”

In the name of public service, and as ex-economics editor of BBC Newsnight, I offer to do a zoom call, tonight, with any Labour MP who wants to understand why bond markets do not "fall into line" with governments. 1/

I’ve heard of putting country before party but ‘county’ is a niche new one on me:

@greatcreator147 @diana_blamires Any idea what his point is, Diana? He weighed in, refused to explain his point, then blocked me. Bit odd. Presumably he’s got some specific beef he’s struggling to explain or perhaps he is politically comprised on this issue? I’d genuinely like to have known.

@greatcreator147 @diana_blamires Indeed. But what exactly is the joke we are currently missing? Pray tell.

⭐️CAMBRIDGE SOUTH STATION⭐️ It will open from 28 June. With up to nine trains per hour and all passing services stopping, Cambridge South will make a real difference from day one.🚊 My Mayoral Authority put in early funding specifically to help bring this station forward.

@greatcreator147 @diana_blamires I’m not convinced the local residents are finding the current situation all that funny … but do explain. Sometimes people can find comedy in tragedy I suppose.

How can stuff like this get written? Imagine it for any other good! “Affordability is driving the chocolate price spike, not a cocoa bean shortage. We just need to designate some beans as special cheap beans to bring prices down” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Thanks to @guardian for highlighting the East West Rail Line debacle in today’s paper. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/m…
