20 years ago today, Arsenal played their first game at Emirates Stadium. This week’s column offers a personal reflection on the stadium move and how a house becomes a home 👇🏻🔴⚪️

@BarbaraRich_law @kirby_pj I didn’t but have just listened to it. Reminds me of the opening to the St John Passion, but with a lighter intensity. These orchestrations are a new and v pleasant discovery. (Also good to hear you play too - once an organist always an organist!).

[Dean Taylor @D_ATaylor]

@BarbaraRich_law @kirby_pj As an organist myself the idea of an orchestrated BWV542 was intriguing to say the least. Proof was in the pudding though: I thought it was sublime.

We live in a world where journalists are still impressed by people speaking without notes.

[Brendan May @bmay]

They’ve alienated so many who are both socially liberal and economically ambitious, who believe in private enterprise and hard work, but don’t want men in their female relatives’ spaces, or angry class driven education policies and empty soundbites about ‘hope’. What a mess.

[Dean Taylor @D_ATaylor]

That last sentence.

[Brendan May @bmay]

2/2. When the hard left ‘want their party back’, they don’t realise they never lost it. New Labour’s approach, made applicable to this era, has never been tried. Hence voters departing for anywhere but Labour. They’ve forgotten how to govern, and how to build a broad church.

[Ian Leslie @mrianleslie]

I think there's a simple answer to this which is that most political journalists aren't interested in or knowledgeable about policy and governing https://t.co/SylnDeCHQH

[Aubrey Allegretti @breeallegretti]

Palpable anger from Keir Starmer's allies at what they see as his forced resignation today.

One MP says they're "sobbing" so much they "can't talk".

Another says: "Now we'll get tributes from the two-faced bastards who owe their job to him but gave him nothing but grief for months."

McFadden comments about sulky PLP unable to comprehend scale of the country’s welfare spending crisis clearly 100 percent spot on. Published ironically on same day Burnham vowing to give the same PLP members even more power under his leadership.

You can tell how broken the culture is at Spurs that this sort of thing flies after they finished 17th on the final game of the season.

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

The more I reflect on the Blair essay, the curiouser I find it. He appeals for ideas but ignores the keen debates on how to ensure tech progress can deliver common good outcomes, the impact of inequality and the need to recast social support. It’s just reheated tech bro stuff.

30° abroad: “let’s explore this town.”

30° in the UK: “I may not survive this Sainsbury’s trip.”

Class.

Such a wonderful moment ❤️

Reminds me of @steverichards14 observation of good politicians as teachers communicating what they’re doing in an accessible manner. Would that more of the govt took heed…

[Darren Jones MP @darrenpjones]

Inflation is down today, in part thanks to action we've taken on energy bills.

But the price of electricity is still set by global gas rates, despite half of our electricity coming from renewables.

So we're taking steps to fix that too.

Let me explain 👇

My God they are so thick

[Lucy Powell MP @LucyMPowell]

Congratulations to Andy. This is an important by-election putting a spotlight on Makerfield and the towns and villages in it, and Andy’s vision for getting the life-blood back into their communities.
