I had a go imagining what would be in the emergency prep boxes of some of Westminster's biggest names...

I think they should let the people see the mummies but god if this doesn't sum up a lot of people in Britain today: 'Why should we develop our critical thinking skills beyond GCSE English?!'
Kirstie Allsopp@KirstieMAllsoppOct 25
Been thinking about the Mummies at @KelvingroveArt and the application of modern sensibilities to works of art & artefacts. Everyone who did GCSEs knows the intro to the Go-Between “The past is another country; they do things differently there” why can’t we just leave it at that?

Exc: Peter Hyman expected to enter No. 10 to write Burnham's Ten Year Plan spectator.com/article/blair-…

Blair aide to write Burnham's Ten Year plan

Expectations are ramping up for John Healey’s statement next week. But with Treasury officials briefing that the Budget will be more of a process than an event, it may well not be the great crunch...

Important to know re:Jackdaw!
Ewan Gibbs@ewangibbsOct 21
Replying to @HMorrison97
It's a particularly weak argument because the contrast also lies with LNG rather than Norwegian gas which accounts for most British imports.

If the main argument for Jackdaw is that it's better than importing dirtier foreign gas, it clearly isn't much better...

Incredible that we're allowed to say I support Palestine Action now and it isn't a terrorist offence because it was fine for the wife of the national security adviser to do it! thenational.scot/news/266465…

No police action against national security adviser’s wife over Palestine Action post

NO further action will be taken against the wife of the Prime Minister’s national security adviser after she was accused of backing the banned protest group Palestine Action

It is hard to see how Jonathan Powell remains in post if his wife is a supporter of an officially-designated terrorist group That wouldn't fly if she'd said she backed Hamas or ISIS, would it? Unless these things are somehow...different...

Pretty sad state of affairs for Scottish politics as most Scots have *no opinion at all* of the party leaders other than SNP Grim reading too for John Swinney - who once bragged of being the most popular politician in Scotland - as SNP conference kicks off...

The samizdat operation to get Sally Rooney's next book into Daunt tote bags across Britain will be something to behold
Huda Ammori@HudaAmmoriOct 14
Sally Rooney's books can no longer be sold in Britain due to her support for Palestine Action. She refused to withdraw her support for the direct action group which targeted the Israeli arms industry, costing her the royalties from all of her UK sales. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Andy Burnham's new deal with Europe is exactly the same stuff that Keir Starmer tried to do before he got chucked out. It is literally incredible how far vibes can take you in Westminster
