I'm shocked, shocked that a man photographed with a whip on his desk has been found to be in breach of bullying and harrasment rules!

Good morning.

Not a great start for the DfE in the week children go back to school.

I can't be the only one who is ever so slightly amused that George Osborne is chair of trustees at the BM right now...

Good evening. Sadly. things aren't going that well for 'er indoors - dizziness, losing co-ordination in one, and then both hands which means she can't now feed herself. Anyway, when every tiny piece of economic news is front pages news, this is interesting I thought. https://twitter.com/redhistorian...

RogerOThornhill

Good evening.

So when is the March on Rome I wonder?

I did wonder why this was on my Twitter feed then realised it's a paid-for ad. What is the objective I wonder?

RogerOThornhill

Good evening. Apologies for not being around but the care home where my wife is now is a bit further away and as my son is here, we've been spending longer with her than when she was in hospital. Anyway...I see Piers Corbyn being his usual twattish self but who is that cheering him on not adhering t...

I see that farage wants the whole of the Nat West Board to resign. I wonder at what point someone in the Government is going to point out that the value of the investment in Nat West that they hold - about 39% I believe - will slide even more and any thought of being able to sell off more shares wil...

Good morning.

Part of Dorries constituency are getting a little tired of her inaction...great letter.

RogerOThornhill

Good morning. I see that I am now on X. But I can also 'Search Twitter' which is...interesting. How utterly pointless. In other news 'er indoors has apparently been found a place in a nursing home. Not too far to travel and the same group has other homes much closer so there's a possibility of a mov...

Morning.

From one of the more sensible right of centre commentators. They won't listen to him though.

RogerOThornhill

Think GB News may regret their coverage on Huw Edwards...and he's even on the channel tonight.

RogerOThornhill

Telegraph writer want Government to legislate to force a private sector company to deal with someone? That's rather funny...and the bit about calling Farage a 'disingenuous grifter'...well they got that right.

RogerOThornhill

This is quite funny...especially when you get Trumpites saying "He was allowed to keep records..."

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

What we need is Miriam 'mad as a box of frogs' Cates having her say on universities said no-one ever.

This might not last long before she deletes it...

How much of this focus on 'poor quality' university courses is to do with the amount that Goverment has to write off the student loan book as jobs aren't paying enough for loans to be repaid? From Sunak's article: Fairness for taxpayers Put simply: our young people are being ripped off. They’re bein...

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

Swimming with the school this morning - last one for this year - then hospital visiting this afternoon, and my final Governing Body meeting this evening. We're just waiting for a place to be found in a home or hospice for 'er indoors as things aren't that great at the moment.

Yes, I just saw that ^^^ - shocked I was. So...quite a number of people queried Matt Goodwin's 'professor for more than 20 years' nonsense' - including someone who put it under his "Ask me a question - anything you like" tweet the other day. And to find his answer? Subscribe! :toss: https:...

Good afternoon. Most of what is written in that Byline article you would have read on here years ago because I posted about it. Also, Robinson was a director for only about 19 months whereas the standard term for a governor is 4 years. Why did he give up? No idea. There were 2 other directors which ...

Good afternoon. Swim soon followed by a visit to 'er indoors who is back in hospital after a fall. I found this interesting after the rubbishing that Starmer's speech on education got from the usual suspects. https://twitter.com/jonathansimons/status/1677966693430091776 Starmer isn’t, it seems to me...

RogerOThornhill

What with his word salad the other day accompanying his speech to the Nat Cons and this nonsense, Goodwin seems hellbent on trashing any reputation had as a serious academic. All it needs now is him setting up a new party. Maybe the New Party. has that been used before? https://twitter.com/GoodwinMJ...

Bleedin' Kate Andrews again?

Morning.

Oh dear...no doubt Sunak will find some excuse not to be in the House for the vote.

Have we seen this? Proper bonkers stuff.

"I've been a university professor for more than 20 years". Nope. Since 2015 apparently. Not sure I trust anyone who can't get their own biog right.

I see Miriam Cates is doing one of those "essentially" things here which means 'I'm making this up'. The practical and financial details need careful analysis. But it is the social implications of this policy that are most concerning. Speaking this week, Bridget Phillipson, the shadow educ...

Re twitter & Musk, I'm often reminded of the old saying 'How do you make a small fortune out of a vineyard? Start with a large one'. Incidentally, I haven't come up against the new limit at all, obviously I'm not as addicted as I thought. I think he's quietly got rid of the limits - haven't see...

Morning. I see Tony Blair is doing his 'third way' stuff on the NHS again. Lapped up by the right who usually tell him to stay out of it. And this from the Telegraph article. The comments come after former Health Secretary Sajid Javid called for a Royal Commission into the NHS, saying patients were ...

Quite the funniest bit of this whole spat between Jess Phillips and La Birbalsingh is that the latter misread 'Aslan' as 'Asian'.

That phrase 'v.silly statement' could be used for all kinds of things but this is re the Sue Gray contact with Starmer.

I'm shocked, shocked that Sir John 'Cultural Marxism is to blame for everything' Hayes is the President of this New Conservatives bunch!

Next up - phony 'research' which we'll never get to see but for which they'll claim expenses from the taxpayer like the ERG did.

My Society account is fine as I don't tend to read too much on there but my personal account still hasn't returned - when does this "day" as in "daily limit reached" begin I wonder. Probably US time but which time zone?

Ah well, Tories tried the old distraction tactic with this. I'm sure another will come along soon.

Sunak > Goldsmith

You were asked to apologise for your comments about the privileges committee as we felt they were incompatible with your position as a minister of the crown. You have decided to take a different course.

RogerOThornhill

Good morning.

And Goldsmith has gone. Nothing to do with that Privileges Committee Report of course...

RogerOThornhill

Apparently Farage has had a numberless quantity of bank accounts closed by unnamed banks.

Perish the thought that it may be something to do with with the source of incoming funds...

I see Ed Balls is teaming up with George Osborne. Lots of people on that twitter are getting a bit cross... IIRC Balls said that on a personal level - and leaving aside the politics - Osborne was a decent sort and easy to talk to about family etc. But he thought Cameron to be an utter shit. https://...

Good morning. Privileges Committee report...part 2. “This matter is made more difficult because two of the Members mounting the most vicious attacks on the Committee did so from the platform of their own hosted TV shows” Can't imagine that Ofcom will take any action though. https://twitter.com/Polit...
