Rather late to this, but pleased to say that I have had a short story published in the 'What Happens Next?' anthology from Nottingham Writers' Studio @NWStudio. A short tale of an aging naturalist and his last trip. #nottingham

JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

Starmer will be finished after May 2026. He can’t survive Labour being kicked out of its Welsh fiefdom. The Senedd result will be a hinge in history moment for Reform UK. But which incompetent will be forced on us as PM? Guesses please!

@andrew_lilico Really? As just one example the response to Fukushima accident in Japan was not driven by a load of hair-shirt greens in their sandals.

@andrew_lilico Fictional, the Duke of Omnium in Trollope's The Prime Minister feels he's not up to the task.

Has there ever been a British administration where they just came up & said "Look. The reality is that we're not up to this. You know it. We know it. Everyone knows it. So we're stepping aside to let someone else have a go"? Maybe some time in the C18th?

@andrew_lilico @DPJHodges It's quite possible that electing Powell will let off the steam and allow everyone to calm back down having "done something" about the direction of travel.

@DPJHodges How strong a proxy do you think the result will be for Burnham vs Starmer within the party?

@DPJHodges I'm curious, whatever the merits one way or the other, of going with all this so far out from the GE. Testing the waters?

@BristOliver @moog77 If wood burners are a potential source then surely Norway would not be yellow on that map?

@BristOliver @moog77 Why would anybody run a log burner with its door open? That’s just like having an inefficient open fire, expensively. (Or have I parsed your words incorrectly).

@DPJHodges Has anyone noted in passing that the University of Oxford might now be dealing with this crisis if Mandelson had become Chancellor last year?

(((Dan Hodges)))@DPJHodges·
This is the key question Starmer must answer. He says was aware of new revelations. He was aware of an FO investigation. He was - he says - waiting for Mandelson to answer his queries. So why did he hide all this from the Commons. Why did he express unequivocal confidence.

One Herring's Not Enough, the first episode of Van der Valk, was broadcast on this day in 1972. Starring Barry Foster as Commisaris Van der Valk, it initially ran for two series between 1972/73, before being revived by Euston Films in 1977. A further revival occurred in 1991/92.

@chrisrumfitt I don't think any minister is likely to run, because they would probably lose – mood of members is anti-govt

@andrew_lilico I just honestly don't get the political point of getting this guy pretty much to close the conference. Reform are ahead in the polls, do they really need to reassure the tiny splinter of uk voters who think covid vax is going to kill us all?

@adrianslatcher @mooninabucket If you want late night, mid 70s, post hippy dream-is-over, drug burnt out sadness then Late is your LP. Just drips with impossible regret. And David Lindley is on the tracks.

@adrianslatcher @mooninabucket Yes. Excellent. It was a while ago, so I might dip in again. What times they were. Jackson Browne is very underrated in UK it seems to me. Late for the sky? I mean just wow...
