Robert Jenrick, MP for Newark

Only MP whose constituency is an anagram for what he is

Would like to claim it’s my gag but alas

Almost every day I’m worrying about the health problems of my parents

The days I’m not, I’m learning, they just haven’t told me

Triply mystified

Don’t understand why anyone from Botswana would want/need to flee as a refugee

Don’t understand how a govt could remotely justify sanctuary here

Don’t understand new measures to deter visitors from one of Africa’s richest countries

I’d take asylum in Botswana mind…

What an absurd, hateful, mob

All the wave: the prolific musician whose fans included Dickens In the latest in his series on eminent Victorians, Neil Titley considers Henry Russell

Who really gives a hell what Mark Thatcher thinks?

How Brexit drained the Tories’ talent pool The party can’t keep expecting successful people to pretend that leaving the EU was a good idea

Same day. Same plenary session. Same visit to Gill’s office. Same Farage, Same Gill, same wife of sanctioned pro Russian agent.

Six days after the first bribery charge

EXCLUSIVE: Study reveals flood of blood-curdling Jew-hate following Manchester attack - The Jewish Chronicle The Centre for Countering Digital Hate analysed social media posts following last week’s atrocity

X is doing nothing about antisemitic abuse & hatred in the last week. (It is a breach of its legal duties to fail to offer an equal service to those with a protected characteristic, if the regulators want to do their job of keeping it within the law)

Oh man, a stamp to France feels fraudulent

won't just be Russia severing those cables

Imagine how irritated Trump will be not winning the Nobel Peace Prize

Not knowing the date rules

No appreciation for his talents

And losing to, shock, a woman

The absurdity of this is Labour was very focused before reaching government

Once Starmer walked into Downing Street, all focus appears to have been lost; the overwhelming responsibility perhaps

As a former leader once said, "strong message here"

sure he'll be up there when the US invades Norway

Amazing, Donald Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize with the argument that "give it me, or I'll bomb you" argument

Facing the reality that there's really no way I can get the word "post-coital" into a feature about the scent of a truffle

Pay for a subscription for the Daily Mail+ is step one, it seems

Fire at Beckenham Odeon cinema — Fire Service urging people to avoid the area. Hope it’s brought under control quickly and that no one’s hurt. Huge respect to the brave emergency crews. Too early to speculate on the cause. We’ll update as we know more.

Rather thrilling way for Nottinghamshire to win the 2025 County Championship

Brilliant performance by all involved

Andy Burnham has walked into a trap and I think he's rather scuppered any Labour leadership ambitions he has, for now at any rate

"...when it comes to science, I don't side with anybody"

‘Throw me into a wood chipper and spray me into Harrods’

Anthony Bourdain on his funeral choice

Happy to be corrected but I’m struggling to think of a more idiotic, unscientific and frankly dangerous health announcement than Trump’s ramblings on paracetamol

Blind date: ‘The restaurant staff reacted with glee when told them we were going on somewhere’ Niamh, 27, who works in classical music, meets Harry, 30, a public sector consultant

Tomorrow, I'm going to the Severn Valley Railway's Autumn Steam Gala
