Tonight friends of both the brilliant 90 year old Heywood Hill bookshop (Mayfair’s finest) & the relatively young Queen’s Reading Room charity gathered for a summer celebration in London’s Shepherd Market. (We had fun. Do you recognise any of us?)

I’ve been having a so fun evening with the brilliant @rachelparris. What we’ve been up to will be revealed in the fulness of time! I first met her when she was first in the show Austentatiious, my favourite Jane Austen spoof.

Anyone for tennis? I like to feel I know everybody. Now it seems I do. This is me and my new bestie: the legend in the making that is Arthur Fery. (He’s really charming as well as being ace on court)

This is proving to be one of the most popular episodes of @therosebudpod … I’m not surprised. Caitlin in conversation is completely fascinating - on @YouTube too: just look for “Gyles Brandreth’s Rosebud podcast.”

@GylesB1 @Radio4 When ever anyone dies it's always Gyles who pops up to offer a eulogy. I wonder what he'll say about me.

Just been talking about Ann on @Radio4 - I mentioned her book of speeches aptly titled Inspired & Outspoken. That’s what she was - & fun & generous too. You didn’t have to agree with her to like her & respect her. “Do what you believe is right & leave the rest to Almighty God”

I used to say Ann was a curious mix of Danny de Vito & Margaret Rutherford! We met when we were both 19 & remained friends because she was fun & kind - even when you disagreed with her fiercely. She enjoyed fierce disagreement!

RIP Ann Widdecombe, 78. A wonderfully no-nonsense, straight-talking, highly-opinionated British battle-axe. Ann was always a very feisty, combative interviewee, but always great fun too. Amid so many dreary politicians, she was a charismatic, combative gem.

Snap of me, Anthony Speaight, & Ann Widdecombe celebrating our time together at the Oxford Union in the 1960s. I often disagreed with Ann but I always liked her. She was fun. And a proper friend. And how she loved Anton! Politics was her life but she so enjoyed her showbiz years.

#July9th 2026: Yes, a thrilling day at @SalisburyCath for #LordHague's lecture on, 'What can history teach us? Learning from Pitt the Younger & beyond.' Insightful inputs from #SirAnthonySeldon & @GylesB1 too. Then, I enjoyed the sunshine beaming on us at Sir Heath's @Arundells.

At Salisbury Cathedral with William Hague today remembering Sir Edward Heath on what would have been his 110th birthday. William gave a dazzling talk about a variety of British prime ministers & Anthony Seldon was part of the event, too. Memorable.
