Jacob Wallace

Here's a thread of political phrases that will be ban should I ever run the show. To begin: He got the big calls right.

Remember when UK politics was dominated by a visceral debate as to whether you could put VAT on a Gregg’s pasty? Happier times.

according to the House of Commons library: “There is nothing in statute law or in Standing Orders obliging the House to move a writ for a by-election. It could choose to leave the seat without representation until the next General Election” 😵‍💫

Labour source makes a niche observation: "For all this talk about Wes, where is Andy? He's increasingly looking like a Peter Odemwingie figure sat in the car park on transfer deadline day."

Taking our seats for the 1st time @Catherinewest1 & @wesstreeting

It feels like the PM is:

Conferences that advertise fireside chats without actual flames and firesides should be banned.

The National Grid depot near King George V Playing Fields in Torquay is currently being refurbished. I spoke with Jacob Wallace from the National Grid this weekend to discuss how the Government can be supporting schemes for connection to the grid for clean energy projects. I will be pressing the Government to prioritise schemes that support significant community infrastructure such as hospitals and waste-water treatment works. #CleanEnergy #NationalGrid #Torquay #Hospitals #Sewage

Met the Leader of the Op-paw-sition today. @RtHonJen

'We must leverage AI' has got to be one of the most overused phrases of the year.

Surely, we have to get a new series of The Crown out of this?

Great to welcome @TufnellHenry to our Withybush depot recently. By meeting the team and learning more about our day‑to‑day operations, he gained a better understanding of how we support customers and communities across the constituency. #Withybush #NationalGrid #NationalGridElecricityDistribution

This last fortnight has been a year.

Might set up a Facebook group for people who use Facebook groups for things they can google, but they haven’t figured that bit out yet.

The circling back is about to begin.

Have done some figuring out in 2025. The outcome of which is I need to figure more things out in 2026. The cycle goes on.

This festive man flu has got me coughing and spluttering with a banging head ache, and walking into every room going 'oh bloody hell' (and other expletives).

It took me 90mins to clear the border queue last week in JFK airport. Sod anything more laborious than it already was. Even Stansted and Luton have you out with 25mins.

I’d rather take my holiday pocket money and visa waiver fee elsewhere. Why would anyone bother with the faff? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Justice for Hugh Dalton ✊✊✊

I know how deranged it is that I’m watching this given my current surrounds.. but this man loves public affairs. Let me have it.

Also loving that fact that I’m watching this from a sunbed by the beach and not having to do the mandatory summary/analysis email this year.

The mini window for videos on the iPhone is great for budget watching and twitter monitoring.
