Delighted to be writing about the greatly under-rated Simon Raven, whose terminally seedy Alms for Oblivion sequence came to an end half a century ago.

[Gray Connolly @GrayConnolly]

On any view, JKR deserves at least a knighthood or peerage - she had every incentive to fold on the Trans issue (as so many have cowardly done so) and yet she stood firm & supported other women resisting gender ideology. Bravo to the Queen here, too.

Starting tomorrow, folks!

It’s only a couple of weeks ago we were concerned about parched landscapes, water stressed crops and emerging drought.

Inevitably flood barriers are now going up and multiple flood warnings in place.

It is absolutely extraordinarily that Jane Russell would, on no basis at all, imply that three lawyers and one forensic expert have engaged in professional misconduct in what can only be a desperate attempt to discredit evidence that is damaging to Beth Upton.

A new study has linked an increased mortality in unfledged chicks to chemical treatments used on pets: https://t.co/aUSQVI3mpi

⚠️🧵 1/4

CABS teams worked with the authorities to dismantle and confiscate a whooping 477 illegal trapping nets this year! Nets are one of the most widespread trapping methods for songbirds.

I think Arthur Balfour also enjoyed playing golf there (not on the actual hills obviously).

Benjamin #Disraeli wrote about the Malvern Hills in Tancred, Stanley #Baldwin adored the Hills and Margaret #Thatcher holidayed in Malvern - the same hotel and the same room on each visit.

🔵BOGNOR REGIS & LITTLEHAMPTON: new cand Ali Griffiths is founder of Gisborne Partners, advising firms how to perform better. COO, 2016 Conservatives In campaign. Dir of ops, Theresa May 2016 leadership team. Fought Blaydon, 2015. Competed in equestrian nat champs until 2001.

🔵 BOGNOR REGIS & LITTLEHAMPTON: I'm told Jacky Pendleton also said she would have not have chosen these three candidates, & that her preferred candidate was not there. The choice of candidates did not reflect the members' wishes, she said.

[@Tomorrow'sMPs @tomorrowsmps]

🔵 The suspicion is Conservative HQ deliberately delayed selections in these safe so they could justify greater interference, and impose names, with the excuse it's too late to conduct normal democratic processes. It's very similar to what we've seen with Labour this week.

[@Tomorrow'sMPs @tomorrowsmps]

🔵BOGNOR REGIS: big concern is why it's taken til now to pick candidate when previous MP Nick Gibb announced he was going last Nov. In several other selections MP said months ago they were going - Basildon (Oct); Southend E (Nov); NE Herts (Jan); Spelthorne (Feb); Chatham (Feb)

Is that you on the left Gillian Keegan?

[. @jdpoc]

A reminder that while Tories try to point to Starmer and Davey ... the boss of #Fujitsu at the time of the #Horizon scandal was useless Tory Minister Gillian 'Collapsing schools' Keegan's husband.

HE knew. SHE knew. THEY knew.

A criminal Investigation is required.

[SOS Whitstable @SOSWhitstable]

Look at this. @SouthernWater having been releasing sewage for 756 hours straight in Felpham.

Good enough to be given green status by the @EnvAgency though, apparently 🤣

Water companies, regulators, government. Get rid of them all.

[Henry George @intothefuture45]

It’s scandals like the Post Office’s false hounding of it’s employees for fictitious corruption and then doing everything possible to frustrate the justice they’re owed that demonstrates why the public’s trust in institutions is going one way: down.
