Nearly 16 years ago I was camping at the V Festival with a 1 year-old and 4 year-old, excited to see @Oasis. They no-showed then split up. Tonight, I’m seeing them reunited, with a 20 and 17-year-old by my side. I’m emotional beyond words. Some moments are worth the wait.

Heard about this last month and was told Seumas Milne was involved, which can’t be right. He’s famously a master strategist and he’d never launch on a Friday afternoon. That’s when he’s heading to the country.

Mr Timothy engineered one of the most catastrophic election campaigns in modern history, lost a majority, broke a PM, then spent five years slagging her off in the Telegraph. He wrecked a premiership, ran from the wreckage, then cashed in by trashing her. Still, Mr Nice, I see.

Fair play Mr President.

His Majesty the King has awarded @DaveWardGS of the @CWUnews the Commander of the Order of the British Empire award (CBE). This is one of the highest awards that can be bestowed on an individual. Congratulations to Dave for his service to our country.

There’s a much treasured patch of land that the good people of Wyre Forest are trying to purchase. It’s has great history and is loved by local people. It once even had Stanley Baldwin dancing around the Maypole. Can you help? .

I’ve written before about how Green Party rules open them up to factional attack. Reading their leadership election rules,.I would say that putting Ellie Chowns on the front of the web site breaches rules 5.x and 5.xi. If I were running, I’d be furious.

This is a very sad day. Thinking of all those mourning the death of Pope Francis. A man of humility and deep faith, he reached across divides to build understanding between peoples and religions. May his memory bring comfort and inspire peace.

Chairs overreaching a tad here.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

To misquote John Maynard Keynes, I suppose we're about to find out if presidents can stay irrational longer than markets can remain solvent.
