The only man I know to have ever measured the distance to his nearest McDonald’s with a trundle wheel has now written a book! You absolutely love to see it.
I am delighted to announce that I have written a book all about Estonia. Available for pre-order from @HurstPublishers (and Amazon). Much more info closer to actual publication date! 🇬🇧🇪🇪

A quote for the ages from Labour’s prince over the Watford gap services. “I reject entirely the idea that I am sort of completely hopeless.” Sketch here What is Andy Burnham doing? Labour doesn’t know, and nor does he https://t.co/NkZhoYFopK

Powerful speech by my friend, @RachelReevesMP. With Rachel as Chancellor, we are going further and faster to drive economic growth across the country and unleash the full potential of the next generation.

Sadly inevitable. Biggest mistake of his career, aligning himself to malign owners of a basket case club.

The bond markets are simply the people and institutions who lend government money. We can avoid being “in hock” to them by reducing borrowing. We struggle now because our borrowing and debt are extremely high. Mr Burnham wants to increase borrowing.

Can't remember seeing a sacking at the despatch box before. Classy touch. Hope to see it more often.

Remarkable scenes at reform conference. Farage has brought his speech forward by three hours but not really told anyone. The hall’s at least a third empty. A minute before he came on, hundreds of people were walking out.

Andrea Jenkyns has just come on stage at reform conference, wearing a sequin jump suit and singing/shouting the words “I’m an insomniac” - which she now reveals is a song she wrote herself. Good lord.
