Another way of putting it - UK defence procurement is deeply corrupt and thereby pretty useless. But so embedded that no government wants to be the one to open the can of worms

NEW: There is “unbelievable” waste and inefficiency at the MoD, former armed forces minister Al Carns has said, adding that every time he would “turn a stone over” he would get another shock.

I once sat by that pool with Hockney, the most charming, generous, and attentive host imaginable. I was interviewing him for The Times and my tape recorder bust; he ambled down his drive and got his next-door neighbour to lend me one. Tony Richardson and Peter Langan came for tea

Imagine the reaction when I tell people I spent the night with Yoko Ono! Recollections of an extraordinary occurrence in NYC's Hit Factory are in today's @Daily_Express with special thanks to @MattNixson

@David__Osland Is that why the King denied him his (comes-with-the-rations) knighthood of the Garter post-Coronation?

Never been able to manage the word orchestra either - quite a notable achievement for someone who makes a living broadcasting in the music world @thequentinletts

@thequentinletts And Quentin Letts appears to have started adding erroneous letters to people’s surnames 😉

If Only the Queen Had Listened to Prince
Charles. Queen Elizabeth II and Peter Mandelson succesfully pushed for Andrew's fateful appointment as trade envoy, the heir to the throne predicted what was to come.

@Kristine_Froeba @WalterIsaacson 'Tell the people I lied' - even if he didn't say it, it's the best quote in the history of politics

[Christopher Wilson @TheWislon]

@annettedittert It's called democracy
