My book tells the story of the extraordinary relationship between Brian Walden and Margaret Thatcher. Next year a new @Channel4 drama based on my book will land, starring Harriet Walter & Steve Coogan, script by @mrJamesGraham, directed by Stephen Frears. deadline.com/2024/06/channe…

Opinion | We know that Farage really does want to be our next prime minister. It is time we all took that prospect seriously, and stopped treating him as a pantomime villain in the national soap opera 🖋 @bbcnickrobinson Read more: trib.al/e6ZXDzs

Apart from anything else going on, Patti Smith's Horses must be the actual best album of all time. I mean, it's peerless.

A brilliantly entertaining read from someone who knows more than a bit about politics and the media. Starmer & Co are very much masters of their own misfortune and seem impervious to learning from their errors.

I’ve written about Labour’s bad week. Which comes on the back of a bad year. “Starmer isn't just unlucky and accident prone – he's giving it away” inews.co.uk/opinion/starme…

Good God @PennyMordaunt just repeated to @Jo_Coburn on @TimesRadio her 2016 claim that the UK government did not have a veto over whether Turkey would join the EU. It’s so bizzare! Read all about it amazon.co.uk/Why-This-Lying…


Sad news. Love the first Soft Cell album and some classic singles later on like What! And Torch. Thank you for the music Dave. news.sky.com/story/dave-bal…

Arne Slot on Fede Chiesa: “I think maybe this time and because of the last few games he shows that he deserves a little bit more playing time and you could maybe see this in a bigger way on Sunday.”

This strange fellow was washed up on a beach in northern Tenerife after a storm. Anyone got any idea what it is or where it might have come from?

Annie Hall is my most treasured movie. I loved Diane Keaton. Very sadly affected by her passing this evening. I am just one year older than she was. So sad.


I’m not sure I’ve ever loved a movie portrayal more than Diane Keaton’s Incredible, beautiful hilarious wonderful Annie Hall. It’s in an everlasting fight to be my number one film with “it’s a wonderful life”right now Annie Hall is my #1 RIP Diane Keaton we loved you

I do wonder if Labour might look at the sorts of people dominating the discourse and dominating the content wars and maybe, just maybe, rethink the sorts of figures they routinely put up for interviews, instructed to be as cautious as possible. Politics has changed. Their comms…

A podcast? Not another one?!yes but listen: the State of It with @patrickkmaguire @Gabriel_Pogrund @cazjwheeler @Steven_Swinford is immediately essential. The Tiffany bit at the start made me laugh out loud. Confidently produced, tons of panache. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…


Tiny toot on 🎺! I was told I’d never repay my advance for Lying Bastard. After all, it’s politics. Last week: 2 years on: royalties! So if you don’t have it or want to buy for a friend do it and I’ll get paid! Thanks to all who’ve bought and loved it 🙏 amazon.co.uk/Why-This-Lying…
