I’ve only gone and written a book! ‘To Stand and Stare; how to garden while doing next to nothing” is a celebration of what it means to garden with nature as a partner, rather than as force apart from us that needs to be contained, controlled and limited.

@jonsopel John, re: this evening's @TheNewsAgents – weren't you a Christ's College boy (maybe a few years ahead of me)? I remember a whopping great menorah going up every year in Golders Green, and getting driven round Finchley on top of a car for Hanukkah! No one batted an eye

@lewis_goodall @TheNewsAgents Good grief they need to keep Bell behind his spreadsheets and away from the media rounds. What a catalogue of sophistry, spin and arrogance. Such a disappointment.

@spectator @michaelgove @Madz_Grant My Victoria sponge was turning to dust in my mouth as @michaelgove talked around the golden age of British crime writing without mentioning P.D. James. Thank heaven for @Madz_Grant who was able to deliver, deliver, deliver.

@TheNewsAgents @maitlis what do you call a crazy bike lane? A cycle path!

@katyballs Honestly I think Kemi is toast after this. You just can't
get on the wrong side of a sandwich in British politics, ask Ed Milliband. Wishing you much better sarnie experiences for the new year. Warm focaccia, crisp chicken skin, pesto – kind of thing. @KateAndrs has the idea

@Lucy_Worsley It's canon.

@ellygriffiths Marilyn Monroe in How To Marry a Millionaire. She's hilariously always bumping into things or reading books upside down cos she refuses to wear her specs.

@anealla So sorry to hear this Anealla.

@StephenGParker Oh belated happy 21st, Stephen! I hope you had a lovely day! ✨🌱🙏🏼 🍰

@jackwallington La Niña summer. Woop.

[Andrew O’Brien ❄️🌱 @AndrewTimothyOB]

@jonsopel you know who tried to do The West Wing? Rishi Sunak. I knew there had to be some half-arsed thought behind his soggy Downing Street speach and suddenly remembered Bartlett announcing he was running again, having been soaked in the pouring rain. Wasn't *quite* the same😬

[Andrew O’Brien ❄️🌱 @AndrewTimothyOB]

@RishiSunak Are you still here?

[Andrew O’Brien ❄️🌱 @AndrewTimothyOB]

@jackwallington broadly you're prob not wrong Jack. Since the last election, there's the boundary changes, but a considerable proportion of the Tory core vote will have been disenfranchised owing to being dead. I wonder if those will balance?

[Andrew O’Brien ❄️🌱 @AndrewTimothyOB]

@supertanskiii I think Sunak just said the solution to the "small boats problem" was for people smugglers to get bigger boats. Did I imagine that?

[Andrew O’Brien ❄️🌱 @AndrewTimothyOB]

@RishiSunak Are you still here?

[Andrew O’Brien ❄️🌱 @AndrewTimothyOB]

@RishiSunak You still here?

[Andrew O’Brien ❄️🌱 @AndrewTimothyOB]

@kennyhiggs Cod sometimes gets the same treatment, doesn't it? Maybe somewhere there's a tuna horse and people didn't want to have to get their mouths round that in a sarnie.

If you’d like to make your garden a better place for wildlife while also making it better for the planet, my book A Greener Life takes you through the practical steps of growing a garden for nature, even tiny spaces like steps, windowsills and balconies https://t.co/Uv2AtTeeQc

Lots of people asking me where I was when Sunak announced the election. I was inside, because it was raining. Only an idiot would have gone out in that... #GeneralElection

[Andrew O’Brien ❄️🌱 @AndrewTimothyOB]

@janeperrone Kind of, yes! But exactly the opposite. Anyway, I thought it was so animals with cloven hooves could flush.
