Reporter at @insuranceinside. Sometime @TimesDiary elf. My own views.

@RyanShorthouse Being worried about it is beside the point. I am angry about it because I pay a 9% extra marginal tax rate than far wealthier, university educated peers who happen to be several decades older. What is happening is a shafted generation is starting to make its feelings known.

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

@BenKentish What I wish journalists would ask politicians in these situations is: how much did you pay for your university education?

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

@finn_mcredmond Odd take. Been to Farmer J many times. The food is good quality, the ordering system is perfectly civilised. Knocks the socks off a supposed "perfectly good Pret". Not worth it if the queue is long, though.

Many thanks for the mention @TimesDiary !

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

How many scotch eggs did Sir Henry Keswick eat for this to make it into his obituary?

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

@mortenmorland You've done an extraordinary job and will be missed by subscribers - or me at least.

[Alice Loxton @history_alice]

Wonderful to see Eighteen in @TimesDiary today!!!

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

@patrick_kidd @KathyLette @operahollandpk Hope it was a great show! Pagliacci last week was amazing.

[Neil Fisher @nfmusic]

There’s only one performance left of @operahollandpk’s treasurable double bill - including a triumphant Pagliacci. Go, go, go!

@JohnSimpsonNews Why did you join in the first place?

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

@HackBlackburn Sorry for your loss, Jack.

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

@elliottengage @GeorgeWParker @Ommasalma @instituteforgov He's been telling it incessantly for months. We covered in Times diary last September...

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

@HackBlackburn Congratulations, Jack!

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

@WalkerMarcus Sorry for your loss, Marcus. It sounds like he led an exciting and fulfilling life as a foreign correspondent.

@bernardgoyder @SimonJohnBowden @TrentTelenko @johnkonrad You are correct Bernard. Insurance is obtainable but expensive.

Dispatches from an arduous evening reporting from the front line at @boisdaleCW cigar smoking awards.

A fun evening at the Booker Prize for @TimesDiary

@david_oldbolt Looks to me like one of those containers that comes for free with certain French cheeses. Not really any better...

[Samuel Casey @SCaseyJourno]

And people accused her of stirring things up...

[Olivia Utley @OliviaUtley]

After 3 hours of doorstepping Suella Braverman I can exclusively report that she’s just had an electric whisk delivered

"Yes Boris, the man who won the Conservative Party a massive majority, was unforgivable enough."

So illiterate she manages to say precisely the opposite of what she intended.

Enough is enough, I have submitted my vote of no confidence letter to the Chairman of the 1922. It is time for Rishi Sunak to go and replace him with a 'real' Conservative party leader.
