"I understand it is normally the role of opposition leaders to jump up and down and call for resignations – as we’ve seen plenty of from the Conservatives already. Obviously if the ethics advisor says Angela Rayner has broken the rules, her position may well become untenable. But as a parent of a disabled child, I know the thing my wife and I worry most about is our son’s care after we have gone, so I can completely understand and trust that the deputy prime minister was thinking about the same thing here.

They read out a section that they receive as the recruiters that I don't have sight of as the applicant and asked me to comment. I pointed out it's not recommended as a recruitment tool - didn't get hired.

Oh boy. Just finished #themirrorandthelight
Feel just as sad & bereft as I did in lockdown when I finished the book. With the book I felt so keenly the humanity & mortality of Cromwell, & the #BBC series did it justice & then some.
I'd say "chapeau" but I'd prob be decapitated as a French spy

Two parts you say? I'm 2/3 through part one and I may have lost the will to live
