If 18 Ministers resign (enough to have overturned the last no confidence vote) surely Graham Brady needs to don a grey suit and go and see the PM

'toughest job...so far' you reckon Sajid's going to throw his hat in?

now at 31 / 32 resignations. After the liaison committee finishes will it be Brady or Chief Whip that goes to PM's Parliamentary office to finish this off?

Hope there are no UQs for the education ministry today. They have zero ministers in the commons

Frost's torpedoing of PM raises an interesting question. Who are the candidates' former ministerial colleagues backing? Kemi's seem pretty keen on her - Neil OB, Gove. Has anyone done an analysis?

Uh-oh. 9pm at a Tory conference in the main hotel. Crowds less than one deep at the bars. No-one at the once legendary champagne receptions. Sure there’s a rail strike, but it’s dead. #cpc22

Robert Robert Peston wearing a School House tie from Rugby School on the news. Is this in recognition of Andrew Mitchell rejoining the Government. Floreat Rugbia

.William Hague 💯. Time to remove Tory membership say on leadership. I’d happily forgo my vote. thetimes.co.uk/article/158a3e…

Here’s a story about a pipe. A steel pipe most people haven’t heard of, but which played an outsize (& unappreciated) role in recent history. And could prove v important in the energy crisis in the coming months. It’s the BBL pipeline which runs from England to the Netherlands 🧵

List of countries Putin can’t go without being arrested. asp.icc-cpi.int/states-parties Confined nowadays to trips to China, Middle East, the Caucuses, North Africa, most of Asia and the US.

It’s a hunch. But I expect the BBC News (UK) coverage since Saturday about Israel and Gaza will be heavily pored over in the coming months and will be profoundly important as far as the future of the corporation is concerned.

Just to highlight how much of a laughing stock the BBC is now, an Israeli satirical programme made fun of them and it’s pretty spot on.

What would a 2nd Trump presidency mean for the world? Some early thoughts. His approach may be predictable - more transactional, bilateral, protectionist than Biden. But his decision-making may be more unpredictable – & the world is more turbulent than his 1st presidency. 1/6

For the best part of 20 years we kept the countryside around Micheldever green. This move represents the greatest threat to our Downlands in a generation and is a direct consequence of the election of this Labour GovM - and those who enabled it. A sad day. thedeversociety.org/news/micheldev…
