It's not every day the Secretary General of a health professionals' association credits a story you broke with helping to change Government policy and The Chancellor's Budget within days of it being released. Journalism still matters. #IR35 #LoanChargeAPPG bit.ly/2vDJfEQ


This brought a smile to my face. Then I burst out laughing. You'll need to watch until the end to find out why... I do love a bit of disregard for the rules. #Sliema #Malta


Great to see @FlintDibble @DeDunkingPast @BrightInsight6 and Milo Rossi joining @piersmorgan and sharing some common ground - and respectfully disagreeing on other points.

I'm staying out of this particular Giza story until we have much better data. Meanwhile Piers Morgan always hosts an interesting discussion: youtu.be/50CFOaCvDSw?si…

The only time in history we had decent living conditions for ordinary people was when we taxed the very rich. These two things are connected.


Gary Stevenson aka @garyseconomics is a trader. He made millions betting the super rich will keep on getting richer, while the rest of us keep on getting poorer. Living standards are collapsing because of this transfer or wealth.

When has taxing the rich ever worked?

Heroes, one and all. Remembering the brave men from Mousehole, including my cousin Kevin, who gave their lives trying to save the lives of others, on this day in 1981. Also thinking of all the loved ones they left behind, who are also no longer with us. #RNLI #PenleeLifeboat

After 27 years in the 'newspaper' business, I've filed my last story. It's been a brutal year and I'm taking some time out to focus on my wellbeing. It will be the first time since before WWII that a member of the Channon family hasn't been working as a journalist, somewhere


Europe's first 'mega settlements' emerged around 7,000 years ago - and were regularly and deliberately burned down by residents. Archaeologists say people moved to these early urban areas for the same reasons we move to cities today. #Archaeology express.co.uk/news/world/198…

You're welcome, Lev. Thanks for sharing.

imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this.
