Politics junkie, @CPFC fan @KasabianHQ, David Bowie, Queen. Might also know the lyrics to Mambo No. 5 🎶🎶

@tomhfh To beat France, we will need a combination of Agincourt, Waterloo and Trafalgar (if we get there!!)

@StevenEdginton Keep up the fantastic work Steven! A huge loss for GB News

@ClarkeMicah Damian Collins' book on Lloyd George 'Rivals in the Storm' details LG's switch of support - ironic given that he made his name opposing the Boer War. As is often the way with leading politicians. 'In my beginning is my end'.

@mario_lochner @bundeskanzler @DFB_Team I'm British, I think Keir Starmer beats even him in the unpopularity rankings!

@technopopulist Like you, Hitchens has profoundly shaped my worldview today and changed my mind on several topics. An insightful and much needed journalist. The Abolition of Britain is a magnificent book.

[Michael Rice @michaelrice96]

@PaulEmbery Great point ! I read about this in Peter Hitchens' brilliant book "The Abolition of Britain", which compares her funeral to Churchill’s in 1965. He said the same as you.

@t848m0 Well said, the distinction you made is a nuanced but crucial point in understanding our present malaise. Dale is so detached from reality when it comes to migration.

@WomWolf93 @Wolves Ironic given that Bob Mortimer is a Boro fan

@NicholasTyrone @v_j_freeman Spot on Nick. Just like Roy Jenkins in the late 60s; the soft left are in the driving seat. He is out of step with the party memebrship.

@CharlieSimpsonA The unions friend, similar to Callaghan's candidature in 1976. A non-university candidate taking on the graduate candidates. Funny how history echoes down the years !

@TheBritLad @Lord_Talbot64 @GBNEWS The Leyton By-Election of 1965, shows that it is by no means certain that Burnham will return. There are rarely any safe seats anymore.

@sivori Of all of your Presidents, he is the one who fascinates me the most. A truly Shakespearean, and often misunderstood, man.

[Michael Rice @michaelrice96]

@MarkJLittlewood Spot on Mark.

[Michael Rice @michaelrice96]

@TomABacon Spot on. Steve Richards' book argues that a PM must be a political teacher, having a persuasive narrative to sell to the nation. Starmer has eschewed this at his peril. If you don't define yourself, you be defined by your opponent's.

@francesbarber13 'Basic instinct enthusiast' gets me every time !

[Michael Rice @michaelrice96]

@TomMcTague Spot on Mr McTague. Ken Clarke and Chris Patten made this very case on Portillo's insightful 2008 documentary, available on YouTube. Thatcher's ghost haunted the Tories , allowing a 'lady betrayed' narrative to set in.

[Michael Rice @michaelrice96]

@ArchRose90 Succinctly put. The icing on the proverbial cake being that of all the liberal journalists , Goodall himself is from Birmingham. Seeing the effect of his own ideology

[Michael Rice @michaelrice96]

@Con_Tomlinson Looking forward to reading this. Peter Hitchens would be a great person to interview on this topic, as he has done sterling work uncovering this story.

[Michael Rice @michaelrice96]

@ItsMayaonFiya @Medievalhtybuff Great book, I enjoyed Castor's discussion of the transition from Richard to Henry's reigns

[Michael Rice @michaelrice96]

@MichaelLCrick Fascinating prescience Mr Crick. Although our politics differ, I have admired your willingness to interrogate stories, & criticize your 'own side', as it shows intellectual honesty / willingness to appreciate both sides. Please keep up the great work !
