@Fox_Claire @jmc_fire @TheCriticMag What stays with me is the moment the officers dragged Henry across the gravel. It might seem like a minor detail, but it reveals something profound: they had already decided he was unworthy of basic care and respect because he was a racist.

@DailyTPodcast @CamillaTominey @timothy_stanley What stays with me is the moment the officers dragged Henry across the gravel. It might seem like a minor detail, but it reveals something profound: they had already stripped him of his dignity. It suggests they had decided he was unworthy of basic care and respect.

@GuidoFawkes I mean… the only thing missing from that interview was a deep curtsy at the end by Beth.

@davidgrayrhodes @SamCoatesSky @michaelthrasher Would be good to see where we are now that we have most of the results in. Can’t find it anywhere on the app.

My proposals for a restored and reformed House of Lords in summary:

House capped at 650 peers for symmetry with the Commons.

212 hereditary peers - the dignified bit 👑
200 appointed peers - the expert bit 📚
200 elected peers - the democratic bit 🗳️
26 Lords Spiritual ✝️
12 Law Lords ⚖️

Minimum age of 35 before being able to become a member.

Hereditary peers become the largest and most senior group, but still nowhere near a majority thanks to the tripartite model. They would be chosen from among the pool of all hereditary peers by hereditary peers, as was the case until yesterday.

Appointed peers serve for life as now, but thanks to the cap on numbers the Prime Minister will not have many opportunities to fill vacancies, so the temptation to use rare opportunities on cronies will be lessened. This will work in a similar way to the US President nominating Supreme Court vacancies.

Elected peers will be chosen via regional proportional representation, with the aim being to grant power to geography and represent the nations and regions of the UK better. Each region would have 20 peers regardless of their population.

These should roughly mirror ancient regions which could provide genuine local identity and would look something like the following: (Sussex/Kent, Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria, East Anglia, Dyfed, Gwynedd, Strathclyde, Alba, Ulster).

England has five regions and the other nations have five between them to balance English dominance.

The idea is to avoid metropolitan dominance and so London and other major cities would not have their own regions.

@wearetherace now Toto is for 'the principle' of the rules. Until 5 minutes ago t was all about the *letter* of the rules and exploiting grey areas.

@NobleF1 So now he’s for the ‘principle’ or ‘the spirit’…. Not the *letter* of the rules.

@afneil An important question I haven’t seen asked is… was the National Security Advisor told that Mandelson failed vetting?

@SamCoatesSky The PM defence seems to be that he’s in charge of the government but has absolutely no idea of what the government is doing and that he has no control over it. I mean, in a way it’s even worse than lying.

@MattP1Gallagher Attacking those fans that have the ‘wrong’ views is not exactly a great strategy.

@twixstyy @FDataAnalysis @LewisHamilton @Charles_Leclerc @ScuderiaFerrari @F1 If you’re faster in the corners you harvest less energy though. Isn’t that the issue? And I hate it.

[MV @maserv]

@FDataAnalysis @evered7 @LewisHamilton @Charles_Leclerc @ScuderiaFerrari @F1 Or he recovered less. Because for example his engineer told him to use less throttle in turn 6 to recharge more.

@Slimghost02 @GazzettaFerrari Your wrong interpretation of Fred’s comment doesn’t make it less true that by regulation there cannot be any upgrade to engines in Miami.
