- Replying to @piersmorganHaving watched Auba in the flesh for the first time since he left Arsenal tonight, can safely say he's no more than a poacher. Poor movement, poor hold up play. Pure finishers don't fit into Arteta's system, accept he had a wonderful spell in North London but he's gone 👍🏽
- Sir John Redwood at the Bruges Group fringe event: "Lower taxes can be part of [a growth plan]..but controlling public spending and limiting the role of the state is also fundamental." Appeals to new Home Sec to clamp down on channel crossings, praises fracking change. #CPC2022
- Replying to @Kumail_Jaffer* Ban on domestic flights that would take less than three hours by train Also in the manifesto: a frequent flyer levy, scrapping Public Order Act and getting rid of Prevent Programme.
- Great news for leaseholders as Michael Gove commits to abolishing the ‘outdated, feudal’ leasehold system of ownership for almost five million homes. mailplus.co.uk/edition/news/p…

- After three wonderful years in the Daily Mail Lobby Team, which included four Prime Ministers, Partygate, and a historic General Election, I will be moving from Parliament back to Mail HQ to work as a Senior Foreign Correspondent for MailOnline.
- Replying to @Kumail_JafferNow a bullish Sir Bill Cash on Europe: "We are on the brink - by the end of 2023 - of getting rid of all EU law and its application through our courts as well."
- Replying to @Kumail_Jaffer and @piersmorganPiers clearly doesn't watch the games - wouldn't be saying this if he did - but remains an effective wind-up merchant when it comes to Arsenal.
- Replying to @Kumail_JafferEducation minister Andrea Jenkyns now up. She says: "Conservatives cannot afford to abandon education to those who may wish to silence us." "The current system would rather our young people get a degree in Harry Potter studies that an apprentice ship in construction (??)"
- Replying to @Kumail_JafferAdrian Ramsay: "We will push Labour to stop backtracking on their promises. We will be there to drive them to be braver, to be more ambitious, not to take the baby steps towards change, but to actually do what's necessary to fix our country and get us back on track."
- Humbled and delighted. #InspiringMuslims
