Daniel Finkenstein says that John Healey’s resignation is something that Keir Starmer must “have chosen to let it happen”.

“He must have known for days that if he didn’t do the minimum John Healey believed was necessary then the minister would resign.”

Danny Finkelstein delivers a withering assessment of extremist rage on both sides following last night’s violent scenes in Belfast.

“Nobody has the right to burn people out of their homes to make a point.”

Rishi Sunak weighs in on Keir Starmer's leadership woes:

“It would be wrong to think just changing the person at the top is going to be enough.”

Read my long read this weekend with @e_highfield which looks at how restaurant owners and chefs are grappling with increasing business rates and more expensive staff wages.

“I have people calling me in tears everyday.”

It is “impossible” to run a hospitality business with the oil crisis an additional “disaster” for business owners, says co-founder of LEON Restaurants John Vincent.

“If the system is not fundamentally changed before the next one hits, this won't just be a political problem it will be a full blown economic crisis.”

The government must adapt as economic shocks become “more frequent, unpredictable, and expensive” says Times Radio’s @Jo_Coburn.

“Has Donald Trump blinked in the face of ongoing hostilities as the swift victory he predicted over Iran seemed more remote by the day?”

The conflict in Iran is no longer regional, but feeding into the global economy, says Times At One presenter @Jo_Coburn.

“We are not going to be putting pressure beyond what the legal limitation is.”

After a justice minister told Times Radio a march in London linked to the Iranian regime should not go ahead, @TrevorPTweets goes head to head with the organiser of the Al Quds march, Massoud Shadjareh, over the burning of an Israeli flag at a previous march.

“Isn’t it time to admit it was all a big mistake?”

@Afneil asks legendary documentarian @KenBurns whether, 250 years on, the American Revolution was worth it “when you look at the state of America today.”

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

“Just admit that there was a huge fall in defence spending while you were foreign secretry.”

“We did build two aircraft carriers…”

“You inherited these from Gordon Brown.”

@Afneil debates @WilliamJHague on The Tories’ defence record.

“My understanding is that Mandelson was never properly quizzed anyways.”

Peter Mandelson had Jeffrey Epstein “laughing all the way to his insider dealing,” and the prime minister must sanction a full disclosure of all relevant material, says @AfNeil.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Coming up on The Times at One with Andrew Neil, 1pm today @TimesRadio:
The Epstein scandal worsens for Andy and Mandy. We’ll bring you the latest — including the growing evidence of misconduct in public office.
The drums of war beat louder around Iran. But what exactly would President Trump hope to achieve with an attack on Iran.
Keir Starmer is back from China, claiming to have clinched billions in investment and export deals for Britain. But has he really?
And are NHS waiting lists coming down because the government is fiddling the figures?
All that and more in an hour of the sharpest analysis in British broadcasting.

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

Former Trump adviser @Tspooky abruptly ends a live interview with @Jo_Coburn after being pressed on video evidence from the fatal ICE shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and challenged on his remarks about law enforcement standards.

Move over @EdVaizey, @TrevorPTweets is Times Radio's dancer in chief 🕺

[Kate McCann @KateEMcCann]

Reposted a clip of Danny Finkelstein chatting to us on @TimesRadio Breakfast half an hour or so ago. Popped back to find an absolute sewer of grim replies. Danny was talking about not feeling safe in this country and about antisemitism. The response speaks for itself. Do better.

[Elizabeth Highfield @e_highfield]

@VickiTreadell Hi Vicki could you follow me back so I could get in touch with a media request?

“It's everybody else's fault: it's Brexit, It's Donald Trump, it's Humpty Dumpty, it's the Duke of York, It's all the king's men, but not me.”

Rachel Reeves will “break her promise” to raise taxes in the upcoming budget without taking accountability, says @AFNeil.

@StigAbell

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Much more on that Rachel Reeves speech and what the Budget will mean for you coming on The Times at One with Andrew Neil @TimesRadio 1pm today. Expect an excoriating monologue!
