@KevinASchofield Cobr

Turns out Cobra was already meeting about the situation in the Middle East when the Lib Dems sent their press release

Yet another BA flight bumped onto standby because they have oversold the flight. Off to the desk to beg to be allowed to fly back. Compensation doesn't really help with nursery pick-up or being a good father or husband does it @British_Airways

I believe this meets the criteria to be called a marmalade dropper x.com/jessicaelgot/s…

This interview from @larisamlbrown is quite something. How one moment can define a lifetime Two decades ago Richard Jackson, then a high-flying civil servant destined for a notable career in public service, lost top secret documents containing intelligence on al-Qaeda and Iraq on a train The documents were found by a member of the public and passed to the BBC Jackson was charged under the Official Secrets Act, prosecuted, fined and demoted three grades He says he has never forgiven himself; that he had no excuses and that he deserved what happened; he accepts the process because it was by the book He subsequently suffered from clinical depression and once considered taking his own life. He says his wife, Maddie, saved him. 'I wouldn't be here without her' He has set up a coaching and wellbeing company called Newday, which aims to help others who handle sensitive or distressing information cope with the strain “I will probably never forgive myself for it [the loss of the documents]. I am, I guess, ashamed of it. But I have to move on. I went through a phase of not wanting to move on, that is why I do what I do now.” Following advice from a life coach, he has Post-it Notes next to his desk reminding him of all the positive things he has done “It does help, but in the back of my head I still have that voice going, you still left papers on the train. That is always there. Always.” thetimes.com/uk/defence/art…

@robpowellnews don't get me started

I'm no golf expert, but is that really the best club choice given how near he is to the green?

@reporterboy @ConorBurnsUK @nadhimzahawi @alexburghart when was the brush by?

@ConorBurnsUK @nadhimzahawi @alexburghart Conor ….it stemmed post ICJ advisory ruling from an instruction to explore what Mauritius were demanding (with no obligation to comply) post a very brief brush-by meeting at the UN Boris had with Mauritians

I really rate @alexburghart but it’s not credible to push aside eleven rounds of negotiations. I would just admit that is was a terrible error of judgment to even open negotiations on the Chagos Island. 👇🏽

Are you sure you thought through this push alert @AppleTV ?

#IREvRSA oh it’s a corker

The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush generated more than £280 million in economic benefit for Northern Ireland ⛳️ The figures represent a significant increase on the total economic impact generated when The Open was last held at Royal Portrush in 2019 with key drivers including the growth in fan attendance, higher daily spending and more visitors staying in commercial accommodation.

For every retweet of this post, I will donate £1 to the @VC_and_GC_Assoc up to £50,000. Time is running out following @I_W_M’s decision to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery. Visit while you still can, to honour the bravery of those who risked so much to protect our great nation.

Little trip to Portrush to check it out before @TheOpen. Course is looking great and everything ready for a big week. ☘️

I don't normally get Glastonbury jealously, but The Prodigy right now.... one of those bands I just never saw live and always regret it!

The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush will be played in front of 278,000 fans - the Championship's largest crowd outside of St Andrews. The attendance will surpass the previous high mark set at Royal Portrush six years ago when 237,750 spectators attended The 148th Open.

Timeless. Iconic. Legendary. The 155th Open will be played at St Andrews in 2027.
