Great to see Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley talking calmly and with such sense about #Mandelson whose appointment is yet another sign of #Starmer poor judgment

Worth noting that in an arena where phraseology is vital, Keir Starmer insisted at #PMQs today that he maintained his confidence in #Mandleson but not his ‘full’ or ‘total’ confidence. Could he lose both his deputy PM and his ambassador to Washington within a matter of days?

Surely the point should be that James Starmer repeatedly refused to declare his ‘full confidence’ in #Mandelson and instead only declared his ‘confidence’ which is pointedly different and something #Mandleson himself will have doubtless noted.

Appalled at the attack on Charlie Kirk today. Simply horrific

I’m often asked about the gulf between media reporting and reality in the US. This must be the very worst example I’ve ever seen in the wake of the shooting of Charlie Kirk which police now attribute to a sniper firing a single round from over 200 ft. Disgraceful.

Anyone in my orbit offering anything other than 100% condemnation of today’s shooting of Charlie Kirk will be immediately unfollowed without exception.

It’s hard to comprehend what has just happened here in the US and many overseas will not grasp its significance, but the assassination of Charlie Kirk will have serious ramifications. It’s an appalling day for his wife, family and friends and for the nation.



Heartbreaking to see the flag lowered over the White House following the assassination of Charlie Kirk



I was delighted to be quoted in the Daily Express ahead of #Trump #statevisit to the UK this week express.co.uk/news/world/210…


Wow! Sam Fender was incredible tonight in Boston on the #PeopleWatchingTour Loud, joyous, incredible. Everything live music should be. Oh, and he announced a deluxe version of People Watching is on the way, in time for Xmas no doubt . Canny lad 😎
