Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Ian Hudspeth. Behind the political was a genuinely lovely and funny man who was passionate about the place we call home. Had lunch with him a short whilst ago talking about the future. I’m proper #gutted
Taken up #golf. Don't judge! And today's life lesson is a red ball looks all shiny in the bag with all the white ones but if your red/green colour blind not as easy to find your ball. (Again don't judge 🤣)
I think I have a new hobby of challenging bots and AI accounts. Currently feel like a keyboard John Connor
I'm pretty sure Trump said he would stop the war within 24 hours so fair to say for the past 193 days it's Trump's war because he's failed to do what he claimed. And now saying 'here to say I'm here to see if I can' bit of a climb down
Virtual signaling at its best! Make the commercial debts interest act compulsory - it's mandatory everywhere but the UK! No one applies it for fear of upsetting. Making it mandatory would boost the economy (no idea the effects on small business)
So this week @realDonaldTrump has said this and @Keir_Starmer has said he's gonna recognise a terrorist organisation! I'm not sure what to think anymore! The mad mans talking sense and the one we thought reasoned is advocating chaos. Only conclusion I have is we are all f@#ked
In the political world totally agree! It's basically let me prepare my answer before you ask the question! That said if I'm in the pub and on my way home a heads up would be ace. So maybe they are all in the pub not running the country
This is a dreadful idea. I’m not naive, I know it’ll be seen as a Westminster village story and nobody will care, but it actually does matter.
This proposal will do none of the things being claimed. If anything, it will make the problem worse. The notion that “call lists” will lead to more meaningful debate is nonsense. In reality, it means MPs will wander in moments before they’re due to speak, say their piece for social media, then leave - without engaging at all with the debate or listening to other points of view.
That is the problem, not the solution.
And let’s be clear: this isn’t theoretical. We tried it during Covid. Anyone who was there knows it killed scrutiny stone dead.
Ministers knew who was coming and when, planned accordingly, and genuine challenge was lost. It was stage-managed and sterile.
This is about making life easier for lazy MPs who don’t understand what the job is meant to be. It hollows out Parliament. The more this is normalised, the harder it becomes to govern the country properly. It’s not some obscure procedural tweak - it goes to the heart of scrutiny, challenge, and accountability.
The Norway debate in 1940 changed history because MPs were in the chamber for the whole debate, listening, reacting, shifting their views. That kind of moment simply couldn’t happen now. We already strangle debate on major legislation down to a few hours. This will make things 100 times worse.
And for a government with a massive majority, call lists are even more useful: ministers will know exactly when to be present, which interventions to prepare for, and which they can ignore. You might as well let them submit written speeches behind the Speaker’s chair, like the Council of Europe does - and pretend that’s meaningful scrutiny too.
A bad idea, sold badly, with bad consequences. It really does matter.
Nobody will care. But at least I’ve said why.
Seriously the clowns in Westminster dont realise we're all aware declaring taking back control of borders then clamping legal migration is just virtue signalling! When will they listen that illegal immigration is what we want you to sort out! Hotels are not full of legal migrants
Well seems sleepy Don called out sleepy Joe and won but the Americans now just have a president more unhinged when awake

Labour just voted against our amendments for a binding cap on migration and to disapply the Human Rights Act in immigration cases.
Starmer started the day telling the public he was going to get serious on immigration…
They talk tough, but when it counts, they block action. Same old Labour.
For clarification are you saying disagreeing with you is restricting freedom of speech? Or you don't have an answer? You're right ideas should win on strength of their arguments but that doesn't mean the people shouting the loudest (note @JDVance during @ZelenskyyUa meeting)
More proof Trump has nothing other than he thinks it’s a game of cards
? It’s not cards Donald it’s lives
Good idea @elonmusk and you’re probably right but just two small things 1)conventionally world wide elections are suspended whilst at war (Maybe your mate could sort a security guarantee to sort that out) and 2) what the fuck are the political boundaries? This TWEET is stupid
FFS Elon at the top of my feed I have choice. So why when I choose ‘following’ is 90% of what I see NOT from people i follow?
Trumps trade war and Starmers farm tax. Seems like the world’s power is anti farming! Wonder how bullish they will feel when they are hungry #farming
