Just landed in Istanbul to a wave of relief seeing the result in France. First the UK rejects the right and now France does the same, albeit in very different circumstances. Progressive forces are there, provided people are given good reasons to vote for them.
What a lovely speech by Heidi Alexander and a similarly classy speech by Robert Buckland. You never know … courtesy may be making a comeback
A work of art
Couldn’t agree more
.@GordonBrown stewarded the world economy through the financial crisis, led the fight against child poverty at home and abroad through development and passed the world’s first Climate Change Act. It is wonderful to see him become a Companion of Honour. bbc.com/news/articles/…
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them. Unless we’ve got an interview scheduled…
We’re such a diverse and inclusive country to chose a British Indian as our Prime Minister, which is exactly why we’re looking to ship all our immigrants to Rwanda.
So, we took back control and then gave it away again to the financial markets. Could it be that the markets were in control all along and Brexit merely reduced our ability to resist them?

The grand old Duke of York, he had 12 million quid. He gave it to someone he never met, for something he never did.
“If… I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect… I will fire you on the spot.” President Biden tells his new appointees he won’t tolerate bullying in his administration - and expects them to restore “decency and dignity, that’s been missing… for the last four years”.
In 4 years Trump has lost the White House, the House of Representatives and now the Senate. It is wonderfully encouraging that his form of divisive populism has crashed and burned. Let’s hope he’s just the first of many egomaniacs to collapse in the face of democracy. #Georgia
Is there a thicker politician than this man?
This is what I don't get. If you're relaxed about No Deal, fine. Good luck to you. But don't pretend we weren't told we would get a deal, because we were. It's just a fact. The EU would relent. BMWs and Prosecco. It's not a debatable point.
I live in the very south of Warwickshire. My nearest supermarket in Tier 3 involves a 40 mile round trip. I am 5 miles from 4 supermarkets in Tier 2. South Warks has a rate of some 120 per 100,000. Less than all the Tier 2 around us. This is stupid and will not be complied with.
Normally Trump would be tweeting abuse about anyone Joe Biden selects in his team. But, to do so now, would mean that he acknowledges Joe’s right, as President-elect, to build a transition team. Must be terribly frustrating for the Donald!
John McCain’s concession speech from the 2008 election. Listen when the crowd “boos” Obama, he says stop and settles them. America, you are unrecognisable. #ElectionResults2020
Today is a good day. It’s easier to be a parent this morning. Character MATTERS. Being a good person MATTERS. This is a big deal. It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around. Today is a good day. #PresidentBiden #VotersDecided
I heard myself quietly, under my breath, saying 'My God' as I listened to this - it was involuntary. How this country has fallen. This is the Attorney General for England and Wales and head of my profession.
