@petercardwell Best guest of the year! Everyone loved the unique and fun way you presented your deep knowledge of Political Animals.

Jack is happy his dad is home from America. He made his displeasure clear in a series of loud miaows when I returned, which roughly translate as: “Dad, where on EARTH have you been, you cretin? I demand numerous huggles and scritches in lieu of your absence. Never leave again!”

Just looking at my to-do list for today. Seems quite manageable actually.

I spoke about Political Animals tonight at a lovely event hosted by @jenniferlinsey1 at the home of Susan Walton, the lady in the glasses below, who is also the dogmum of Louis, Hugo and Gus, also pictured. The guy on the left is my friend David Hawkins.

Anyone who watches videos or listens to music out loud on public transport should receive an automatic fine. Get some earphones or learn to live without an Instagram reel for 10 minutes, twats.

Many thanks Paula! Back with @JuliaHB1 on PMQs tomorrow at 12noon and presenting again on Friday between 10am and 1pm on @TalkTV

In 1974 the late great RICHARD BURTON told Michael Parkinson what happened when WINSTON CHURCHILL was in the audience for his ‘Hamlet’ at The Old Vic in 1953.

He's replacing Richard Hughes

This scene is based on a real life training session I had when I was a middle manager working in an office. I sat at the back making notes. But not the notes I was meant to be making. I was thinking about a future sitcom.

You are totally correct. Dublin City Council’s Mayor should publicly apologise to the Jewish community for the stress & hurt caused & also apologise to the Herzog family

Still my favourite Twitter reply of all time.

I could watch this for hours! 😂🤣😂

Afraid this is a tiiiiiiny bit on the old massively sweeping generalisation side of things there Nick, and I speak as a unionist from Northern Ireland. But otherwise enjoying your tweeting about the absurdities of Your Party.

Dublin City Council’s move to strip my grandfather’s name from Herzog Park is deeply troubling. Chaim Herzog was born in Belfast, attended school in Dublin & fought the Nazis as an Irishman. Irish Jewish history is part of Ireland’s history. Protect it. #HandsOffHerzogPark

This week: Tuesday @TimesRadio papers 10.30pm Wednesday PMQs with @JuliaHB1 on @TalkTV at 12noon Cardwell’s Corner with @kaitborsay on @TimesRadio at 7.30pm Friday Back presenting on @TalkTV between 10am and 1pm Saturday @TalkTV 10am to 12.30pm Sunday @TalkTV 10am to 1pm

Here is a statue of Seán Russell in Dublin. Seán was senior figure in the IRA and a Nazi collaborator. He pursued the principle that ‘England’s difficulty is Ireland’s opportunity’ and travelled to Nazi Germany in 1940 to meet with the Abwehr to receive instruction and support

Thanks so much Kate! As well as Political Animals, I wrote The Secret Life of Special Advisers, which you may also enjoy. No plans for anymore currently!

Wonderful to be in Washington DC for a few days. Today I gave a talk on my recent book, Political Animals, at a lovely event in Chevy Chase, Maryland, organised by my @WIPLive host mom from 2006, Cathy Wolf. (Back @TalkTV on Weds. Jack being looked after by his Auntie Annika).
