That he kept his job after saying that says plenty about the state of the Conservative Party.

Cameron's cowardice and Johnson's treachery did this. The centre right destroyed and replaced by fascism.

Rory Stewart, because heโ€™s open to debate but from the landowner side of countryside politics.

Iโ€™m intrigued by Dominic Cummings, though I donโ€™t know much beyond his role in Brexit and his reputation as a strategist.

With Irish unity now a real possibility, Gerry Adams would be fascinating.

They seem to have a knack for picking progressively worse leaders. We know whoโ€™s next.

In
forthcoming book
called
Prosperity Through Growth, Johnson admitted that when Russia's invasion of Ukraine pushed up gas prices,
it
became clear that the UK's net-zero strategy had to change, The Daily Telegraph reported.

My dad was a sales rep in the 70s, and over that decade he had a string of Ford Cortinas as company cars โ€“ I think he worked his way through every version.

It's so much cheaper to buy a country's politicians than to defeat it militarily.

Stop glancing at your phone while driving.

Every glance is a roll of the dice. What are you going to miss in those 2 seconds? Maybe nothing, but you are risking lives. Yours and others.

One glance down you miss a dog , a car, a person.

Please. Stop gambling a hundred times every time you drive

Zack Polanskiโ€™s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. ๐Ÿ’ช

Weโ€™re in a de facto war with Russia. Putinโ€™s bankrolling of the far right across Europe, inc Nigel Farage and Reform UK, is part of his arsenal.

It ought to be the role of our security services to brief journalists like Chris Mason and Laura Kuenssberg, making clear how Russia is funding and influencing the far right across Europe, and encouraging more measured reporting of Reform UK and Farage.
