The country expects us to get on with governing. That’s what the Prime Minister is doing.

Our party has a process for triggering a leadership election - that process has not been triggered, nor should it be. It would be playing right into the hands of Farage and Reform.

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

The idea that a peace process, which affirmed Northern Ireland's place in the UK, ended the "armed struggle" and required the consent of a majority in the North to any changes in its status, constituted "surrendering to the IRA" is just unutterably crass.

Noli timere

Don't be afraid.

Remembering Seamus Heaney who died on this day in 2013.

I utterly condemn the far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend.

Be in no doubt: those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law.

[James McDonnell @JamesInNotts]

Bring. It. Back!

Your periodic reminder that town planning used to be an Olympic event.
