Since the Brexit referendum, 4+m voters have died (mainly Leavers), while almost 5m have reached voting age (overwhelmingly Remain), There is now a 1.6m majority for Remain - without anyone needing to change their minds. My analysis for @TheNewEuropean theneweuropean.co.uk/anti-brexit-br…
30 years old, no meaningful achievements, will be in the legislature 50+ years assuming normal lifespan, getting paid for every day in attendance. Ludicrous.
Charlotte Owen has gone from parliamentary intern to Baroness in 6 years, a record? 🤨 (incidentally we were at uni together and no one remembers her showing any great prowess for legislative scrutiny)
There shouldn’t even be a “resignation honours list” (a concept invented in 1895 but not used by Blair or Brown) let alone for a prime minister who was ousted for a casual relationship with the truth.
More cabinet members have lost their jobs this season than Premier League managers.
In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the European Union? Right to Leave: 32% (-3) Wrong to Leave: 56% (+4) Via @YouGov, 9-10 Nov. Changes w/ 1-2 Nov. Largest EVER lead for 'Wrong to Leave' (polled since Aug 2016).

I made a little series called Wainwright Walks on @BBCFOUR many moons ago. It's fair to say they were career changing for me & also some of the most watched programmes in the channel's history. #savebbcfour #signthepetition change.org/p/british-broa…
A passport is only worth the rights it confers. It means nothing inside ones own country. This passport is weaker than the one it replaces, symbolising the removal of our rights to move and operate freely across our own continent. It therefore represents abject political failure.
Our new blue passports will be the most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly British passports ever. Read more about them here: gov.uk/government/new…
