    Cat owners of Twitter, is this a known Christmas issue?

    Those who've known @wesstreeting a long time know just how long this moment has been coming, and how much he's worked for and prepared for it. Love to see it.

    So @Keir_Starmer selected in Holborn & St Pancras. Surely a future Labour leader and PM. You read it here first.

    Less than an hour until @paddypower has to pay out my 800/1 bet on this from 2014 and I can announce my early retirement 🍾🎈🍾🎈🍾

    Delighted and humbled to be appointed MBE in the King's Birthday Honours, for services to higher education. I guess this whole @Wonkhe thing might have legs after all.

    HE support package coming tomorrow morning. Not quite a full bailout I understand but something.

    Thanks for all the good wishes this morning. Little baby Samuel and mum doing very well indeed. Taking a break from the #WonkLife for a bit, back soon.

    Finish seem intent on confusing everyone about their dishwasher tablets. On the high end, the terms "all in 1" "quantum" "infinity shine" "ultimate" all seem to be on random shuffle mode. They also can't decide if gold, silver or blue is more premium positioning.

    I had an unusual birthday at Windsor Castle yesterday collecting my MBE from the King. He was very friendly, and a lovely day out was had by all. Now the holidays can begin.

    What a stupid, dishonest #dispatches - what might have been legitimate concerns buried under selective quotes, misleading links, deliberate conflation of issues. And the fancy dress/straw man university just risible and insulting. Who does this help?

    Happy 100th to @nusuk. If I hadn't worked in policy there at that particular moment in time, it's highly unlikely I ever would have dreamt up @Wonkhe. In fact I'm pretty sure the idea came at that very desk.
