Have written my column on one of the most interesting political essays I've ever read, because it argues that essentially everything modern British politicians think about political and economic strategy is completely wrong. (1/?)

The Stardust fire, on Valentine’s night, 1981, was a huge event that shook Dublin for years. 48 people died, and 200 were injured. After 45 years, the surviving families are still trying to get justice. https://t.co/zsHEDahI8F

The Home Secretary of the UK has the right to deport someone who was born in Northern Ireland, and chose an Irish passport over a British one, to the Republic, if they commit a serious crime. I can think of plenty of people we should have deported, and forbid from returning.

I’ve come to the conclusion that if you have a service that works for you, never look at the price. Recently I switched mobile network and broadband providers from ones that I was happy with to ones who were cheaper but, on papers equally good. In both cases it was a mistake ☹️

The chances of a British girl or woman being a victim of Epstein were minuscule compared to the chances of her being a victim of the ‘grooming gangs’ that are still active in our cities.

My Arsenal v Chelsea hot take is this: Gary Neville is a tosser. And he has been for decades.

Arsenal are top of the league and top of the champions league. And that was without Kai Havertz. The first half of the game tonight showed how much better we are when he plays. He is Der Raumdeuter 😍

Nwaneri scored on his first start for Marseille, Arsenal, Arsenal U19s, Arsenal U18s, England U21s and England U19s. But, because he only provided an assist on his first start for Arsenal U21s, he is on Arteta’s naughty list and will find it hard to break into the first team.
