Delighted (and somewhat taken aback) to see that my book about #Málaga is currently #3 on the amazon.com 'Andalusia Travel Guides' bestseller list. I'm very happy to play 3rd fiddle to the mighty @RickSteves and Chris Stewart from Genesis.

This is what defeat looks like for a bike thief. Help spread more disappointment: We've got an angle grinder-resistant D-lock to give away. Link in thread 👇

My iPhone reminds me of this photo from 4yrs ago - morning after Notre-Dame fire. The cross reflected the light in the ruin in way I could scarcely believe was real. It was. I was on Easter hols and sent to Freddy Gray who was editing. His instinct was to change covers… (1/3)

A corporate lawyer sharing with an investment banker is no longer a good enough combined income to buy a house in London. This is how insane the property market has become. If you don’t have a wealthy family able to buy a significant chunk of your house for you, you’re screwed.

Good interview with Edward Timpson, a good MP who should have been better used theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

‘I’ve had massive highs and deep lows’: Edward Timpson on winning for the Tories and being sacked...

Sixteen years after he entered parliament, the former minister has had enough. He talks about fighting for children, backing austerity, and his least favourite Conservative PM

I wasn’t expecting to post again for a while, but I’ve been slightly taken aback by the number of messages. Your support means a lot to me at a testing time. In fact it seems many of you already have my next move planned out before I’ve even thought about it! For those who have messaged me privately I’ll get back to you when I can - but first I had to tackle a literal mountain, after just falling short on the metaphorical one.

Got to say I enjoyed the BBC interview with Javier Milei. He likes the Rolling Stones. And after saying how much he liked Margaret Thatcher, giving an intelligent answer when asked about the Falklands War, he was asked if he liked Liz Truss. His answer: Who?

Living next door to an elephant: Lessons for the UK from EFTA

After Brexit, the UK finds itself next door to a regional trade hegemon. Britain can draw useful lessons from the experience of the EFTA countries.

1/ Can George Grundy drive? Yes, because we heard him doing so. But can he drive legally? 🧵 Plenty have asked this question on #TheArchers Twitter, and the answer is that we don't know for sure. But: George was brought up on a farm. Most kids like him will have been driving

3/ the public highway. There are two ways to get a Cat F licence — it's automatic when you get a Cat B (car) licence, or you can take a stand-alone tractor test. This test can be taken at 16 — probably something an agricultural student like George would have done.

4/ and it seems that we *do* know that he has a licence (Cat B!): xitter.cf/MDut21/status/17871994…

Replying to @sarah_mattocks
He can drive. Brad (who I believe) said he could and then George asked to borrow and promptly used the van in his to get his ‘Asian Turkeys’. #thearchers

I believe Andy Street is running the Birmingham half marathon today. I feel as if I've been hit by a bus after last few weeks campaigning, fair play if he manages it.
