@KayBurley Wishing you great adventures for the future - especially after all those early morning starts! @KayBurley

@aliciakearns @jessphillips I’m confused - so you told some of her 401 MP colleagues? But did you tell @jessphillips directly? Instead of inviting another pile on to a woman who this week had to increase her security - you could have - as a common courtesy - informed her yourself your wouldn’t be attending?
English
Yes @jessphillips I wasn’t at the debate yesterday, I was at the hospital.
Your colleagues know I’ve been away from Parliament for medical reasons, but you chose to attack me.
So much for standing by women.
Our Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Women spoke and did an excellent job.

@Edwina_Currie The more worrying one is Tulsi Gabbard at national intelligence (a sympathiser of Putin) - I’m hoping good sense prevails amongst Senate Republicans

And for those of us in the UK who have never heard of Matt Gaetz, let me drop some knowledge.. I'm tempted to say, "Only in America.." eh?

@BarbaraComstock @JenniferWexton @KamalaHarris This was fantastic to watch - thanks so much for being such a strong voice Barbara.
English
I’m proud to stand with my friend @JenniferWexton in support of @kamalaharris & I also look forward to helping her in funding the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act named in her honor to get more research on this debilitating disease that impacts so many of our loved ones.

"I may not be here in 4 years, so I'm not about to sit on the sidelines. The stakes are too high." @RepWexton tells me why, despite receiving a devastating diagnosis, she's teaming up with her former Republican rival @BarbaraComstock to support Kamala Harris. @InsidePolitics

Vivek Ramaswamy tells the American First rally at Madison Square Garden that a Trump administration will organise "the biggest mass deportation in American history."

@StigAbell @TimesRadio Appalling that neither one of you appears to know how VAT works. Companies can usually reclaim VAT - working people cannot - it’s one of the most regressive forms of taxation on working people that exists.
English
Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: did Labour promise not to increase National Insurance, and does it matter now? Plus, David Cameron on treating rare diseases, propitiating China, driverless taxis, the Armageddon electoral scenario in the US, why are we angry, gambling etc

@IainDale Iain, please take it easy and get well soon. We need you back on FTM but only when you’re on the mend.

FURTHER UPDATE: No sign of gallstones but gallbladder infected and inflamed. Decision on op put off until we see if antibiotics work. Hope to be discharged tomorrow, but won’t be at full capacity for some time, I’m told. Renewed thanks for all the kind comments and to the wonderful people who have been caring for me.

@theJeremyVine I think they need a Jackie Weaver from Handforth Parish Council to intervene!

And there was even more this week. There is a whole Netflix series here.

This article in @TheChiswickCal, about the "bullying" councillor @JoannaBiddolph, is still one of the most extraordinary I've read this year. Main character energy!

@lewis_goodall Of all the times to be in the wrong Washington! Great interview with Harriet Harman by the way

Just arrived in Seattle. Something tells me I’m in the wrong Washington.

@jessphillips @YvetteCooperMP Many congratulations! You’ll both be excellent.

Photo is about 9 haircuts ago but the work has been pretty much my whole life. Working with @YvetteCooperMP to deliver our mission on abuse and violence will be transformational. Let's crack on.

@martinmcgrath @philipjcowley He definitely wasn’t AI back in his former Hull days (admittedly that was 27+ years ago)

@philipjcowley [starts rumour that @philipjcowley doesn't really exist]
English
This has been seen by 5M people with thousands of RTs. It took me about two minutes to find evidence that this guy exists.

I am incredibly proud to be returning to @educationgovuk working with the enormously impressive @bphillipsonMP in a job which is crucial for ensuring opportunities for all and contributing to the government’s central mission to deliver growth. 😀
Department for Education@educationgovuk
Welcome to Rt Hon Jacqui Smith @Jacqui_Smith1 who has been appointed as Minister of State in the Department for Education
English
@IainDale @Jacqui_Smith1 @forthemanypod So pleased for Jacqui - I only hope she was able to take the call in that caravan. The government and the Lords will be all the better for Jacqui’s expertise, no-nonsense attitude and sense of humour. We’ll all miss her on forthemany.
English
It's happened! I could not be more delighted that my lovely friend and podcast partner @Jacqui_Smith1 is back in government, as Lord minister for skills, further & higher education. Of course I am beyond bereft that this era of the @forthemanypod ends. More on that later.

@natsechobbyist @kylegriffin1 Too funny- It may seem antiquated but at least in our system the loser leaves the next day, we have a new cabinet appointed within a day and no 50+ nonsense court cases by a sore loser

Sunak has offered his resignation to King Charles. The King has accepted it.

Conservative Rishi Sunak has just left 10 Downing Street for the final time as Prime Minister.

@StephenMcGann Agreed - although I’m no fan - I actually thought some of the speeches from Penny Mordant and Kemi Badenoch were particularly grown up.
English
@jessphillips Congratulations Jess a ‘win is a win’ - it’s good to hear some people are so thoroughly decent. Now the real hard work begins.
English
Just to say that within minutes of Kate Kniveton having lost her seat, she messaged me to ask me to carry on her work on family courts. Not my party, but that my friends, is what a decent representative would do.
English
@suzyquiquero Suzy - I hope you’ve sorted out some decent snacks for tomorrow evening! Good luck.
English
@SophyRidgeSky Tread very carefully on this - they also practise Shabbat on a Friday night… are you suggesting he and his family shouldn’t?
