Do biological males with gender recognition certificates have the right to enter women-only spaces? It's a simple yes/no question, @UKLabour. Given that you intend to make it easier for men to gain said piece of paper, women have the right to an answer.

Great to speak with Baroness Meyer @ladylilo2 about her late husband, Sir Christopher Meyer, and his novel Survivors, about her family’s perilous escape from revolutionary red Russia.

A gripping historical novel which follows the story of @ladylilo2 mother’s family perilous journey to escape the Bolsheviks https://t.co/5qrKtc2AON

Christopher’s first novel finally published posthumously. It’s a fascinating tale, written in Christopher, wonderfully lucid style. Survivors is a historical drama, illustrating a period of history, which covers events from the Russian revolution to world War two.

I has been 18 months since Christopher died. I am happy to announce that I finally managed to publish posthumously his first novel. Do buy a Copy! "Survivors" is a historical drama, which covers events from the Russian Revolution to World War II. https://t.co/9BVqOBabbg

@maragotaman Thanks, Kevin.

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

I’ve found the debates quite useful in exposing the candidates’ personalities and policies. Starmer says the Tories have lost the plot. He has it precisely wrong. On the economy Rishi and Liz have given us two detailed, clashing ‘plots’. Where’s Starmer’s ‘plot’ - on anything?

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

So glad you’re back in action.

[Kate McCann @KateEMcCann]

Well that wasn't how last night was supposed to end! Thanks everyone for the lovely messages❤️- I'm fine now - and apologies to @trussliz and @RishiSunak for cutting the debate short. Tonight I'll be unpicking the debate with some new polling from 7pm ( ...yes, sat down!)

[Baroness Meyer, CBE @ladylilo2]

Is the tide finally turning?

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

@forster_fozzie And I can agree with you on Barolo…

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

FFS (first time I've used that abbreviation) there is no point to a debate unless it's robust and hard-hitting. Last night's Sunak v Truss was all of that, and quite illuminating too. The blue-on-blue shock horror this morning is pitiful stuff. What did they expect-love duets?

[Alastair Stewart @AlStewartOBE]

It was really strong, up to that point, not least because of the charm and calm of authority of @KateEMcCann.
She is in all our thoughts.

[Katy Balls @katyballs]

Sunak and Truss now chatting with the audience at the Talk TV debate

[Alastair Stewart @AlStewartOBE]

Either the @TheSun or @TalkTV need to put out a statement, urgently. There is real concern about the well being of people, some we know and others we also care about...

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

@CliffB60 In our system the people vote for their MP, not for the PM nor for the leader of the party. Had Boris been voted in by plebiscite, it would have been different.

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

@AlStewartOBE @RishiSunak @trussliz The BBC did itself no favours. Instead of questions about earrings etc we could have done with some probing on the NHS, immigration, N Ireland among others. Mason and Islam were superfluous.

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

@CliffB60 No.

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

@andrew_lilico I think your're right, Andrew. And since Chris Mason said it, it must be true.
