Sir Oliver “Olly” Robbins is a clever, well-informed person. He’s also ambitious & diligent. Sir Keir Starmer & his team now have a potentially highly dangerous enemy. Not because Sir Oliver wants revenge (though he might) but because of the facts of the Mandelson case.
A long 🧵. Have a cuppa! /1.
On point partic with the twaditionalist architecture movement that would turn the city into poundbury
Point some speakers at the field and save the rest of us from it
Is the best defence of Starmer that a whole committee of MPs was told by Robbins that the security vetting was "conducted to the usual standard", and none of them thought to ask: just to check, he did pass, right?
And, didn’t Angela Rayner get booted out for failing to ask a question?
oh yeahhhhhhh

Your regular reminder that if the UK could only achieve the same outcomes for immigrant integration as Denmark....
...we'd be significantly poorer, with 100s of thousands fewer jobs, much worse schools, and be a more segregated, more divided society.
We all know that referees have a tough job, but the standard of officiating in the Premier League is woeful. 👎
After correctly awarding a penalty to Leeds, Thomas Bramall completely unravelled at the end of the first half. It was actually quite painful to watch. He looked lost. 😅

He's unearthed an even bigger scandal: food places that eyeball you and micromanage your spice tolerance (wrongly). When will *that* story get the investigation it deserves?
nigel farage tweet: The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.
