I don't understand why the BBC thinks @bbcLauraKuenssberg is up to filling a slot formerly occupied by the excellent Andrew Marr - or is this yet more evidence of Johnson's idiotic decision to make Dories culture secretary???

I have briefly visited St Petersburg for my mother's funeral, and back in Europe safely. There is a deep anxiety in the air (but it's everywhere). Prices go up (but...) Friends and colleagues are away (but it's August). Everyone whom I saw hates Putin and his war (but do nothing)

I love old stone pathways. So many have trod there and back. Whispers in the winds of the high country of Scotland.

Asking Sue Gray to rid her report into Downing Street events of any references to the incidents the Met is investigating is like asking Charles Dickens to erase all references to David Copperfield before publishing his eponymous novel

Tonight, Labour gave the Conservatives the chance to do the right thing and vote to immediately stop MPs working on dodgy second jobs.
They didn’t do it.
The Prime Minister is a coward and the Conservative party is corrupt.

Colour me shocked. Boris Johnson is trying to change the rules so that they don't actually bind him and his mates to do anything. This is so out of character. Shocked I tell you!

Even if voters forget this shambles, Tory MPs won't.
Scores of them held their nose, had arms twisted, faced a barrage of abuse online and in postbags, and now Boris Johnson has made them look like bloody idiots.
They will remember that the next time there is a rebellion
