Suella Braverman is allegedly threatening to resign. I can think of no less frightening threat, I'd be chuffed if I were Sunak. Off you pop.

Hold on - wasn’t it those pesky free markets - that she champions - reacting in horror to £45 billion in unfunded tax cuts? That led to surge in cost of borrowing, near collapse of pension industry, and more costly mortgages for all of us. Didn’t Liz Truss bring Liz Truss down?

*almost* bumped into @jonsopel in queue for toilets in Heathrow - would have thanked him for thoroughly enjoyable/informative @TheNewsAgents and then asked for further programs on the state of education sector after recent uni episode - we need more content on our next generation

Last night, 292 Conservative MPs voted to allow sewage dumping by water companies in our rivers and coasts for at least 15 more years. Can you spot your MP on the list?

@kevinhollinrake why would you vote for this? The Derwent & other rivers need to be protected. Very poor show.

2 days ago I randomly bumped into the doctor who in 2017 told me “the good news is the problem you have in your hip can be fixed but you won’t be able to play professional sport again.” I think we dispelled that myth the last 5 days.😉Goodnight ❤️

such a beautifully written and important piece by ⁦@Sathnam⁩ 📚 “It puzzles me that while the nation has rallied over the cause of free school meals, it appears indifferent to the decline of these agencies of social mobility.” “Libraries, man.” 🙇🏻‍♀️ thetimes.co.uk/article/sathn…

My dad couldn’t read but he took us to the library. Now it’s gone

Every Saturday when he was a child Sathnam Sanghera explored the books at a local library. Now the building is derelict and the books have gone

Latest: Rishi Sunak has flown on to Teesside airport which is a 28 min flight, after telling reporters: “I travel to make myself as effective as possible”. It’s 3.5 hours by rail - underlining just how rubbish trains across North of England actually are. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Woken up to startling news; Jacinda Ardern resigns as NZ PM after concluding she “no longer has enough in the tank to do it justice”. I’ve only ever seen political leaders forced out or voted out, but in Ardern we find a rare exception, who again shows us how to lead differently

This is a mess. 3 days of cancelled morning trains so far this week, which means longer, unreliable bus routes (at extra cost) and wasted learning time for kids who need to get to school. @TPExpressTrains absolutely shameful.

Trains in Britain are now less reliable than those in Ukraine. Approx 20% of @TPExpressTrains cancelled again today. My @AvantiWestCoast home cancelled too. This is not a strike day (and we are not at war)

Jet-lag in Japan. Was at the point half way into a week in Asia where I’d accepted I’d never experience sleep again and expected to live out all my remaining days awake - but I just got 3hrs sleep so go me! #smallwins
