Now is a great time to remind people that, despite the talk of churn, Matthew Pennycook has already been in his post longer than all but three of the Tories' 14 Housing Ministers

I see Camilla Long is back in the Sunday Times and has replaced her usually yawny snark for vitriol and bile. Surely the Mail beckons?

These people are NUTS

This autumn I  will be teaching an online course using Zoom on Radical Women, 1918 to 1978. The course   will last 8  weeks and will be held in the afternoons, starting on  Sunday  5 October 2025. More information on the course here:

I mean, I know there’s no point, but what a twat. WE paid for his ridiculous BBC career, he’d be absolutely nowhere without the licence fee. Hypocrite.

At the end of a sad and difficult day for Angela Rayner, it’s worth noting that Sir Laurie Magnus, Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards, included in his letter to Starmer the following: “I believe Ms Rayner has acted with integrity and with a dedicated and exemplary

While everyone is talking about property and tax... @RobertJenrick admitted to unlawfully approving a housing development, in order for the developer (tory donor) to avoid £40m in tax. And yet, he's still there in Westminster. Seemingly untouchable. https://t.co/4y91ypwLy0

Some of my best friends and all that but the stranglehold of Oxbridge PPE types on non-populist parties is profoundly unhelpful.

Nigel Farage put his Clacton house in to his girlfriend Laure's name, avoiding tens of thousands of pounds like Rayner. But he won’t tell you that. He already has a property worth about £1m in the village of Downe in Kent, as well as two houses in Lydd-on Sea in the same

Don't you fucking dare resign @AngelaRayner did this prick resign?

Notwithstanding Rayner’s dud tax advice - let’s wait and see whose fault it was - I view as distasteful the sight of mass ranks of tax shy media oligarchs beating up on a working class woman for getting above her designated station

Don't trust experts Next time you board a plane, push the pilot aside and fly it yourself You've done your own research. You've watched Top Gun, right?
