There's a real resistance to accepting that *we* have somehow become as corrupted & venal as countries we used to read about; that it *could* happen here. It's a form of genuine patriotism, I think, this resistance. But it's looking ever more misplaced. twitter.com/PippaCrerar/st…

Here's a little reminder of why Andrew Bailey got the job in the first place. Marked contrast to Mark Carney. standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

It is remarkable and, for me at least, baffling that he has undone the offer of hope so quickly & so completely. twitter.com/mrjamesob/stat…

There is something perfectly ridiculous about people professing outrage at the idea of other people *pulling rank* to walk past the coffin of an actual Queen. Just think about it for one nanosecond.

No relationship's guaranteed to thrive, but it's pretty obvious that much of the hatred aimed at Harry & Meghan springs from the fact that they love each other so much. You could put as much effort into trying to be lovable as you do into hating. But you wouldn't get paid for it.

So we’ve finally reached the bit where that funny blonde bloke who took your mum’s life savings, and is still swearing blind that her huge jackpot will be delivered as soon as his temporary cash-flow problems are sorted, just got photographed on his mega-yacht. Laughing. At her.

Lynch really is a joy to interview, even perhaps especially in areas of disagreement. Clear, concise answers to all questions & no attempts to evade or obfuscate. He does his membership proud which, as he makes abundantly clear when given a chance, is what matters to him most… twitter.com/IndyPolitics/s…

All those utterly appalling post-Brexit peerages - Frost, Hannan, Goldsmith, Fox, Lebedev, Moylan, Stuart, Botham, Hoey, Cruddas etc - make this idea much more appealing. Another Johnson own goal. Ideally, it would be abolished just as Paul Dacre rocks up for his investiture. twitter.com/jessicaelgot/s…

Hmm. Bit disingenuous. I’m sure not deliberately… All bus journeys in London are already under £2 (£1.65). You can ride as many as you like within an hour of getting on your first one. The amount you can spend in an entire day is capped at £4.95, however many journeys you make. twitter.com/grantshapps/st…

It's all so embarrassing. And if your 'patriotism' involves loving your country as opposed to simply hating foreigners, it's utterly heartbreaking.

What an asset @GaryLineker is to the BBC. A complete & consummate broadcaster who's been there & done everything. A golden boot winner who can control and contribute to studio discussions with epic expertise. Mad that right-wing media spend so much time trying to bring him down.

This might be the most compelling & convincing critique of British media ever provided by someone who really knows what it’s like to be in their jaws. Fascinating & tragic that they have all the papers on display in every palace every day. No wonder they’re so obsessed by it.
