I often think about this interview, possibly more than any I've done with a serving politician. We recorded it in February & his quiet but steely confidence in his own competence & integrity has become more relevant & important with every passing month. He feels like an antidote. twitter.com/xtattsbox/stat…

A Prime Minister who resigned in disgrace with a record of making wholly unsuitable appointments probably shouldn't be doshing out any more peerages at all... twitter.com/lara_spirit/st…

An area in which we can truly claim to be ‘world-beating’ & @DavidGHFrost senselessly sabotaged it. Presumably because it would have highlighted the ludicrous lie that abolishing our own freedom of movement somehow made us more free… twitter.com/TimmoWorldWide…

Johnson's brief but unprecedentedly corrupting tenure as Prime Minister subverted all known norms & traditions so much that we're actually struggling to appreciate just how batshit & unsustainable Truss's tenure is proving to be. It's as if his awfulness warped political reality.

Just in case you thought I was exaggerating when I said Truss was alienating *everybody*. Imagine the reaction to a Labour government doing this… twitter.com/breeallegretti…

Rupert Murdoch's new TV channel is attracting fewer viewers than drying paint & this is happening to the Mail.

Apart from the fact that this was explained frequently during the referendum campaign as yet another reason not to leave the EU - and that people like me continue to point it out regularly - this is an excellent point from a trustworthy source that is categorically not panicking. twitter.com/BrugesGroup/st…

I imagine Truss is too embarrassed to make contact after the pathetic & childish insults she directed at @NicolaSturgeon during the leadership hustings. She certainly should be.

The team of public figures taking on the Daily Mail highlights the fact that unless you possess enormous financial & emotional resources, you cannot even contemplate challenging a national newspaper. It is a massive flaw in our democratic framework.

One of the most impressive people I have ever met. Since being thrust so horribly & reluctantly into the public eye, she has conducted herself with incredible dignity & grace. She would not have embarked upon this path without serious thought & consideration. This could be huge. twitter.com/Nadine_Writes/…
