For every retweet of this post, I will donate £1 to the @VC_and_GC_Assoc up to £50,000. Time is running out following @I_W_M’s decision to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery. Visit while you still can, to honour the bravery of those who risked so much to protect our great nation.

⁦@JAHeale⁩ Chris Patten on the core appeal of the Tory Party: lower taxes. You should ask him for an update - he lost in Bath over 30 years ago!

⁦@JAHeale⁩ the Lib Dem’s gave us Farage by introducing PR in 99 & promoted the idea of a “Real” Referendum - and turned MPs into overpaid local councillors!

I didn't carve this pumpkin depicting Winston Churchill at home, with Chartwell in the background behind him, but I am in awe of the person who did. Apparently, it took six hours! 😯 #HappyHalloween – at South East, England

⁦⁦@TracyBorman⁩ well done for getting this reference to Thomas Cromwell into a book about events well over 400 years since his death!

#RIHLive Clementine Churchill said that Winston was so productive because he only did what he wanted to do & someone else did the tidying up: how are you able to do 648 podcasts as well as your historical work & journalism?

⁦@polcurrency⁩. Thought you’d enjoy being reminded of this since you both have a high opinion of BoJo!

In 4 years’ time, GDR will have been dead for as long as it was alive (counting fall of Wall as de facto end). Anyone who has taught Cold War history will be struck by this.

Replying to @Keir_Starmer
@Keir_Starmer new ideas on asylum seem brave and principled. He is taking a political risk but it will mean a workable asylum policy and far fewer dangerous boat crossings. It is logical, moral, good for Britain - and far better than the current government policy. Well done Keir
Starmer’s solution to the Channel crossings? To agree quotas of migrants already in safe EU countries. We didn’t accept asylum quotas even when we were in the EU. This is a surrender - and a recipe for yet more immigration.

NEW: elections matter! This is a big win and we should celebrate it!
Huge news. Last year, we capped insulin prices for seniors on Medicare, but there was more work to do. I called on Congress – and manufacturers – to lower insulin prices for everyone else. Today, Eli Lilly is heeding my call. Others should follow.

Ukraine and Russia are poised to go on the offensive in the war. Russia, wary of the growing Ukrainian arsenal of Western-supplied weapons, is moving first. Here’s how each side is trying to shape the critical next stage in Ukraine. nyti.ms/3lpJP2y
