Our second monthly "Pizza & PMQs" was just before half term. #Politics

It is a bit concerning that a Conservative MP does not know that the ECtHR and the ECHR are nothing to do with the European Union. What is in the ECHR that the Conservatives don't want us to have? Why is it being muddled up with Brexit here?

My review of Anthony Seldon & Raymond Newell's account of Boris Johnson's time in Downing Street for @NewStatesman. An account which confirms how extraordinarily inept Johnson was at performing some of the basic functions of being prime minister. newstatesman.com/culture/books/…

A majority are opposed to former Prime Ministers stuffing the Lords with friends and donors after they leave office. Are you one of them? Add your name to @electoralreform's call ers.tools/resignation-di…

We're up to 124 women who served with SOE in the Far East, after adding four this evening. Also got a load of 2023 file releases, so I have over 50 files still to add. soeinburma.com/females-in-the… @SOEhistory @spyhistory #SOE #Force136

@DrHannahWhite It was really interesting, thank you for all your events which we can access!

@POLITICSatLP Thanks for following the event!

#IFGgovt23 our question with 16 likes - will it get answered by the Shadow Minister? Students excited!

@TomBarrett93 @ifgevents Yes! We were very pleased! There's lots of opportunities now. This week we having a 'Learn with the Lords' session where we get a peer to ourselves for 40 minutes.

Was in the room and it did get answered! Jealous there weren't more of these sort of opportunities to put questions directly Ministers and Shadow Ministers when I was studying politics at school... #Slido #HybridConference @POLITICSatLP @ifgevents

Some required reading for certain people this last week: gov.uk/government/pub…

Sunak shamed for breaking the law (again) over his seat belt embarrassment. Zahawi condemned for his “error” over millions in unpaid tax. Johnson exposed over his jobs-for-loans quid pro quo. There’s not an ounce of “integrity, professionalism & accountability” in this Tory Govt
