I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights

Labour had a chance to admit they got it wrong. Instead, Keir Starmer told Bridget Phillipson to gaslight the Commons with a shameless rewrite of history — pretending Labour had always been on the side of women. Nobody bought it. They claimed the govt accepts the Supreme Court

Mary O’Shaughnessy used her own money to rescue 25 Allied soldiers needing to escape Nazi-occupied France in WW2. Betrayed to the Gestapo by a French traitor, she was sent to Ravensbrück & emerged as one of the few British survivors of the camp. This is her story: (🧵)

I've never sought to auction dinner with myself at a Michelin-starred restaurant with ‘a selection of wines from [my] own cellar’ as you have, Jolyon, but if anyone wants to bung Lumos £10, I'll draw a name out of a hat and we'll split a KFC bargain bucket.
