For me, it’s unfinished business from 36 years ago: In my early twenties I couldn’t afford £30 for the famous Cecil, so I gazed across the square from my £8 room at the Metropole. Today, it’s finally sorted!

Churchill & Al Capone stayed here (probably not together), it was Montgomery’s base when planning the battle of El Alamein, and it features in Lawrence Durrell’s ‘Alexandria Quartet’. It had to be Alexandria’s Cecil Hotel, opened in 1929, didn’t it?

At heart what’s depressing me is that MSM are fighting tooth and nail against the first viable government and leader we’ve seen for decades. Are we really going to allow 4 or 5 non dom billionaire media barons dictate a Farage government ? So they pay less tax ? Seriously ? 😱

Sneer on professional sports all you want but it's pretty much humans last true meritocracy. In virtually any other profession you can lie, cheat, bullshit or brownnose your way to the top. In sports you can either perform or you can't.

The difference between Left and Right The Left would ensure the Right was housed, educated, well fed, had an NHS, and lived in a sane environment with plenty of public services The Right would claim the Left were their enemy, and sell everything off to an overseas billionaire

The best thing Labour MPs could do for us all in 2026 is remove Starmer as their leader before he completely destroys the country. In little more than 18 months he has taken the UK from First World to Third World – and to a country most Brits no longer recognise👇 #comments-wrapper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">express.co.uk/news/politics/…

It's boring as hell reading the faux-outrage about the London fireworks from people desperate to be offended by something.

Homework for kids is bullshit. We're literally teaching them stuff they won't use in the real world then telling them, that learning for 14 years, 8 hours per day isn't enough, you have to take work home. Training them for the horror that is the corporate world aren't we.

It was bad enough when the New Year's Honours were announced on 31st Dec, but on 30th December is just so very wrong. I remember when the only way to find out before midnight on NYE was to pick up the first edition papers outside Charing Cross Station at 10pm. *old man grumpy*

Christmas isn’t a time of great joy for everyone. Grief, loneliness, poverty, illness, worry, war, suffering, death. None of it stops because we stick up some tinsel.

Back in February @lewis_goodall challenged @mtpennycook on unspeakably slow progress and at least half a dozen consultations. I think Lewis had a crystal ball. 🔮 youtu.be/lwJSY8ZyafE?si…

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen delays, the government has not been able to publish the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill before the Commons Christmas Recess. My letter to @FloEshalomi making clear we expect to be in a position to do so early in the new year 👇🏻
