So much hinges on this flight to Rwanda - especially if it can take off before the election.

It’s been ruled out but it’d be hugely significant if it can.

Detractors say people don’t care. They do.

Small boats are a huge issue on the doors and don’t let anyone tell you

What a treat I had visiting the stunning North Yorkshire village of Hutton-le-Hole.

I met some wonderful people who chatted to me about how much they love it.

SO lucky we have this beautiful village - deemed the second greatest in the UK - on our doorstep.

My first ever Conservative Party conference back in 2019, I was walking through the centre and I suddenly hear someone behind say “Emily!”

To my disbelief I turn around and it’s only bloody Michael Gove.

He has always brought a huge work ethic to his roles and is renowned for being an effective politician for good reason.

Will be so sorry to see him go.

I think this is spot on from Nick Ferrari on Labour’s planned tax raid on private schools.

I never went to private school and my kids don’t - but if I could afford it, why the hell not if that’s how I want to prioritise my spending? We shouldn’t be making it even harder to

2. What else could he have done? Asked for a brolly and looked like a

Putting aside his farcical Drowning St announcement, Rishi Sunak looks & sounds very fired up for the election. I admire his balls for going so early, and suspect it will be a lot closer than people think.

I suspect the person happiest with today’s election announcement is Paula Vennells. The difference of scale in coverage of her if this had not happened is huge:

I'm hearing from two decent sources that there will be an announcement to the press from the PM at 5pm today in Downing Street.
