Mid 30s, sadly. Loves politics. Chief of Staff to Bumble the Rescue Dog. Lives for cricket. Wannabe batsman. ‘Fields like a panther’, apparently.

@lewis_goodall @MclachlanCeCe82 Well, you’re not. It’s funded by the Dutchy of Cornwall. No different to a private citizen using their wealth to send their child to public school

Did you know...

In WW2 there was a famous incident in Bristol when US Military police tried to impose a colour bar on the local pubs.
Many of the pubs caved in to the demands. One Pub told them to go and do one.

That pub was the Edward Colston Arms. It was forced to change its name by the liquid brained headcases during the Bristol BLM madness.

Six years later and the brain slop is still sloshing ⬇️

Putting the armed forces in harms way to look tough? Utterly despicable

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.

This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.

I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

"I was choosing the King"

Literally gets confused between herself and God.

[Jolyon Bryce @Jolyon5]

‘Choose the next King of England’

What?!

[Emily Thornberry @EmilyThornberry]

Hi Frances, I know it was 4 yrs ago, but your memory lets you down. You asked to see me on the day that I attended the Privy Council to choose the next King of England.

My minion, as you called her, apologised & offered other dates.

Not a coward, just busy - like many women👑

Nurse!!

[Dr Tessa Dunlop @Tessadunlop]

He stirs the pot that HE created. how dare @Nigel_Farage . Brexit is a central plank in the Northern Irish disaster and he was its architect - but of course he was out there today blaming everyone else. Revolting.

What was that shambolic Sky interview all about

[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.

I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

Would the last honourable person to leave the govt please turn out the lights.

My letter to the Prime Minister

[Jolyon Bryce @Jolyon5]

@JayneOzanne @StPaulsLondon Oh give it a rest.

[Jolyon Bryce @Jolyon5]

Ahh, the labour MP. Easier to sit smugly on high, looking down and making snips at all the little people genuinely worried about the state of the country.

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

And if you elect vile racists, you get vile racism

[Jolyon Bryce @Jolyon5]

That is quite a tribute

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply "C" in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!

More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.

Alex's passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special - it was critical for the security of our two countries.

Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn't "let me see;" it was "this matters to you and America we'll get it done." And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.

Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper - and funny as hell - Alex was "C." As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.

I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.

Oh come on, as a MP you can’t be that incurious or gullible

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

You can’t get a haircut online or buy a haircut in Tesco’s. That’s the difference with banking and beer 🤦‍♂️

Any tenuous link to lob a bit of racist shade around. Do you ask how non-Turkish barbers operate and whether they are legitimate?

I have multiple barbers in my local town centre. I suspect they are operating because there’s upwards of 20,000 scalps to lop hair off in the area.

We know you’re not the sharpest pencil in the drawer but this isn’t rocket science.

[Jolyon Bryce @Jolyon5]

@amna49854 Honestly blows my mind that Americans think it’s ok the customer to pay the staff directly. If you can’t afford to pay staff, you can’t afford to run a restaurant

[Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick]

In almost any other household, if a man suddenly parked a brand new £125,000 motorhome in the driveway - and acquired other new vehicles - his wife would ask where on earth he got the money from.

[Jolyon Bryce @Jolyon5]

@few2048 What does that matter?

[Jolyon Bryce @Jolyon5]

His dad was born in England. He was born in England. He’s English, and anyone pretending otherwise can, frankly, take their racism and fuck off.

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

😮 THE FIRST ENGLISHMAN TO WIN SINCE 1919 🎉

[Jolyon Bryce @Jolyon5]

@few2048 If you were BORN IN ENGLAND, to a father who was born in England, what would you call yourself?

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

Interesting fact.

Burnham, if he becomes PM, will be our third catholic Prime Minister - and again not voted in by the country, maintaining this record.
