We really do. A log of every time an employee of a secretly-funded think tank appears in print or broadcast media without disclosing who pays their wages would be a serious public service. People would be astonished by the amount. Some even have columns in Barclay/Murdoch organs. twitter.com/ThatNeilMartin…

Very impressed by Tom Bradby. If William is watching, I don't think he could find much fault with how this interview has been conducted. And similarly, I think Harry will feel he's been treated fairly but robustly. That's quite an achievement for an interviewer in this situation.

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 literally get paid to attract listeners from the BBC but defending it from attacks by increasingly desperate right-wing politicians who’ve already been busted for dodgy behaviour is a patriotic duty. twitter.com/LBC/status/156…

I always read the optimistic & warm analyses of a supposed softening in public attitudes toward immigration with a heavy heart. When politicians & newspaper editors decide to turn the hatred dial back up, the public will always follow. The polling proves this & very little else.

A week after praising Kwarteng’s budget in the strongest terms, the Daily Mail today waits until page *eight* before reporting on how it’s all going. Even the Daily Star has it on the front.

This is an entirely accurate description of Sunak's speech about his intentions in government delivered at 11.30 this morning. Turns out the speech had absolutely nothing to do with his actual intentions in government. What a time to be alive. twitter.com/LBC/status/158…

It is, to say the least, odd to hear Jonathan Dimbleby fondly recalling his revelatory 1994 interview with Prince Charles while attacking Prince Harry for doing exactly the same in his book. Absolutely exquisite questioning, as always, by @MishalHusain on @BBCr4today.

Chief Secretary to the Treasury deletes his tweet that makes a complete mockery of the government's claim that they can't comment on currency markets and that everything's going according to plan...
Seriously. twitter.com/mrjamesob/stat…

People who like to pretend that racism doesn’t exist are never busier than when there’s irrefutable evidence that it does all over the news. I wonder why that is.

Bittersweet but the new genre of absolutely batshit Brexit columns adds enormously to the gaiety of the nation. Today's winners: 'Britain's economic problems have little to do with Brexit' in the Mail & an absolute doozy in the Telegraph comparing it all to the French revolution!

All roads lead to Brexit. Eventually, only Brexit hard man Steve Baker, 'Lord' Hannan, @Bobbybunchofnumberz & Nadine Dorries will admit that they voted for it.

It’s impossible to convey the profundity of the moment in therapy when you make contact with the betrayed, damaged &/or brutalised child you used to be. Grown men, still desperately denying their own vulnerabilities & pain, attacking Harry for talking about it are truly pitiable.

They could call the new immigration policy ‘liberty of mobility’. It would be nothing like ‘freedom of movement’. Not least because it would be naff all use to British workers.
