If I were one of the people who voted for James Cleverly🇬🇧 I'd want to know how he managed to justify claiming £327,000 in expenses in just 2 years when his constituency is only 45 miles from Parliament... x.com/JamesCleverly/…

Post-#GIMS surprise this morning, when I pulled out what I thought was just a USB from the Piëch stand out of my bag. It is a USB (16GB!), but it’s a whole lot more (scissors, file, tweezers, blade - even a pen). Damn handy. And it passed through Geneva airport security.

Just had this text from a chum who is a senior UK Professor of child oncology “- god what a bloody mess we are in - Boris’ oven ready Brexit is going to destroy our European cancer trials for young people and the European sources for funding them” . Bleak. Vote tactically.

This is a fascinating story (if true - and it sounds believable to me) that goes to the very heart of why we own the cars we own and what is it says about our personal choices in life.

BREAKING: Just when you thought the news couldn't more depressing...8.3 million guns have been sold in the United States since March, meaning 2020 is on course to be the biggest year for gun sales in American history.

I’ve known Senator Kamala Harris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. This is a good day for our country. Now let’s go win this thing.

#Tooting's Low Traffic Neighbourhood #LTN scheme was inadequately publicised in advance and has been poorly implemented by Wandsworth Council, shifting emissions to communities in surrounding roads and causing traffic chaos. Sign the petition objecting to them. chng.it/BCWwKwYN.

My acting teacher told us to perform a dramatic monologue from any movie and I did mine from Austin Powers and no one noticed.

BREAKING: The UK Govt’s official covid-19 death toll today passed 100,000 people. Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance told us last year that 20,000 deaths would be a ‘good result’. This is a catastrophe & a damning, shameful indictment of Governmental failure.

Long shot... anyone know any way I can get in touch with Russell Crowe? THE Russell Crowe?!

My lunchtime reading was going to be the latest issue of Private Eye Magazine, but now it’s going to have to be the government’s automotive industrial strategy. It will probably offer the same blend of laughs and anger-making cant. bit.ly/2qRZvyE

West Mercia Police's Anthony Bangham is right: we must all abide by the laws. So next time a prisoner dies in police custody, or a police car kills someone (28 last year), officers should also be prosecuted for manslaughter. Deal? bit.ly/2BG1DK9

Been driving this today. It’s the future. #Hyundai #Nexo

About to drive new #Hyundai #SantaFe. More rugged, more robust, more SUV-like than ever before.

So here’s a question for the motorsport fans out there. Can anyone think of any motorsport engine change disasters over the years? I’ve got a few obvious ones (Honda McLaren, for example), but are there any others (especially non-F1 ones) that anyone can think of?
