And we still can’t ask him questions about it in the Commons

Over the last year too many people who are dear to me have been diagnosed with cancer.
I want to show them how much I care, but also do something practical, so I'm taking on a 26-mile Mighty Hike along the Giant's Causeway to raise money for Macmillan. 🏃‍♀️

Watching some Irish people loudly complain about immigration is something that takes a wee while for my head to get wrapped around.

Rishi Sunak properly lost his rag in that interview with Trevor Phillips.

'That's the 4th or 5th questions you've asked about polls and politics.'

Fancy asking the prime minister questions about politics. What was Trevor thinking???

You cannot have a party client civil service. This kind of action should absolutely be covered by CS purdah. Urgent reform of ministry needed.

Latest from me: on what happens when suggesting people might be left to drown becomes a normal part of the right's discourse: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns.

The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police.

As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.

Here, the head of the Centre for Policy Studies - supposedly a 'free-market' think tank that argues for less intrusive state regulation - argues for state-led central planning of the UK labour market and population.

'iconic listed cranes'

For the past year, I've monitored anti-ULEZ protest marchers and groups, recently writing about how they've turned into an Islamophobic smear campaign against Sadiq Khan. Thanks to the Unearthed investigation team, we now know who is behind them. Tory staffers.

Indefensible dereliction of duty by a government which can only think tax cuts and doesn't care what a mess it will leave.

Safety is subjective. As majority of people who seek asylum in the UK do so because they have existing ties, this will, as has been warned about repeatedly, force people underground into communities, which increases the risk of exploitation. 1/3

Yes, getting Rees-Mogg in the cabinet is an excellent election winning plan. Sunak should definitely do this.

Gosh I hadn’t realised Restore Trust (RT2021 Ltd) has been running a paid-for ad campaign about its National Trust sconescare. I wonder how much it cost. I wonder how much the company’s Respect Britain’s Heritage website and all its other ads cost.

Where's all the money coming from to replace the £100ms of lost revenue to those unis you say with some made-up specious BS are 'low quality'? What are you gonna do when there's only 20 unis left and they have no sector ecosystem to draw on? Thicker. Than. Mince.

Israeli ambassadors claiming Srebrenica was not a genocide is frankly disturbing. The idea that the best way to honour genocide victims is to make sure we don’t find any more genocides is morally upside down

If true that people are to be detained well ahead of any flights, for electoral advantage, it is, let’s say, not immediately obvious how that would be a proper purpose or therefore a lawful use of the Home Office’s powers
