- Perils of the dead metaphor on sorry display with this gimmick. “Back of a fag packet” refers to the blank interior of the carton casing, not the rear face of the carton.Tory HQ handing these out to the press ... subtle messaging !
- I’m pleased to be joining the Telegraph in a few weeks as a Political Correspondent, working on the Sunday Tel

- Replying to @RMCunliffeActually a very strong effort from them imo, although Tice looks like Tom Tugendhat
- Some recollections of Keir Mather MP, the new Baby of the House, when he was at university
- It’s been a draining week for the PLP
