Such a brilliant, evidence based columnist. This is another terrific piece by @FraserNelson. I learned with almost every paragraph, just hope the health secretary is reading… Try this cure for the trainee doctor crisis https://t.co/28VuDuZPfg

Deputy Speaker @Nus_Ghani has stood up for her community’s interests for a decade, defended Parliament’s interests from the Speaker’s chair for 18 months and been sanctioned by China and Russia for defending our country’s interests from dictators. She’s been voted in four times
Today, the Deputy Speaker presiding over the Budget Statement in the UK House of Commons is Nus Ghani. Nus Ghani was born in Kashmir, Pakistan. There should not be a single person born in Pakistan in the UK House of Commons.

Terrific piece from @michaelgove on law, liberty and life. Highly persuasive… Michael Gove: Cut jury trials and another lamp of liberty will fade https://t.co/436NgYXux7

This is wonderful - please read it. In fact, I LOVE it (Times sub-ed approved). Matthew sees with clarity the positive future which is there for the taking. Sublime.
We may have lost faith in politicians but don’t lose faith in Britain. It’s a fantastic country and a mass exodus to Dubai (a nation that will cease to exist the moment western power retreats in the region) will weaken us. Stay & fight for a better future https://t.co/98yqoaZuny

If you listen to today's episode of Rosebud with @matthewsyed you'll fall in love with the character of his dad: a deeply charismatic, intelligent, optimistic, unconventional and determined person who worked day and night to build a better life for himself and his family.

This is my favourite podcast and @GylesB1 the finest interviewer. I’ve listened to almost every show, captured by the humour & humanity. Here’s the least illustrious person yet to appear. About a weird ping pong player with magical parents…

Quite. V worrying coming from the leader of an increasingly popular party. The populism of far left and far right have much in common. Pretending there are simple answers, no economic constraints, and always others to blame and others who will pay.

We can blame Trump for many things but not for our failure to spend on defence, or reform our welfare systems, or our inability to defend an ally from an attack by a corrupt, failing nation with a GDP smaller than Italy. This is largely a European failure https://t.co/IU593uJK7V
