Looks like Marine Le Penn is about to enter a period which her biographers will come to refer to as the 'find out' years... Long-running embezzlement trial: prosecution requests MLP gets 5-year sentence, with 2 years of guaranteed jail time & 5 years of political ineligibility.

The dream team are back together. John Crowley and Andrew Garfield made such a beautiful drama out of my novel Boy A that they both won Baftas for it. Can't wait to see #WeLiveInTime indiewire.com/features/inter…

@HughRBrechin Move Parliament to a new, purpose-built site between Manchester, Sheffield & Leeds with fast trains to all. Seating in semi-circle with desks & voting system. Westminster desperately needs fixing anyway: turn it into a museum which also houses the Royal (our) Art Collection.

Brexit was a bad idea, implemented badly, by bad people, in bad faith. But David Davis is an enigma: useful idiot; hubristic patriot; both? It doesn't actually matter: he, like all the prominent Brexiters, need to confront the fact that they were wrong and begin to make amends.

Boris Johnson is trending and while I hate him with every fibre of my being for reasons everyone else shares, I have a personal reason. Deeply personal. I was stuck in Spain for COVID. Already had an evil dose of it very early on. High risk. I knew with absolute conviction what…

Hi Nigel Farage not famed for your diligence, you probably missed induction day, so you won't know that you now have research staff at the House of Commons Library @commonslibrary So there is no need to rely on unsubstantiated claims from nonces on twitter. Hope that helps.

The desperation of Nigel Farage trying to stay relevant is pathetic. Promoting Brexit was a political idea - he is entitled to his opinion. But the MANNER in which he did it fostered the evil environment that ultimately killed Jo Cox. I will never forgive him for that.

Imagine your response to the death of three children being to peddle conspiracy theories that incite a riot. This is why Farage deserves the label far-right. Everyone who is associated with him, has normalised him or promoted him should be ashamed. This is vile.
