Wow. This never happened to the Conervatuves as far as i know. Looks like gross mismanagement which is somewhat worrying!

Dear @MayorofLondon , I tried replying to your post of images about #OxfordStreet but your team have turned off replies, likely because of the large number of those criticising the idea, but a bad look when you are already ignoring past discussions and views from local people.

@HowardDLeigh I thought about that long and hard for almost precisely the reasons you give. I also made behind the scenes representations with others about accountability. But the Perry thing is too much.

Makes no sense. If you have concerns put them in your column. In the JC . This is a bad move leading to polarisation . As it leads to only left wing journos at the Guardian and right wing at the Telegraph . The JC offers the left a platform they should take it

For the avoidance of doubt, neither me nor my wife have ever accepted clothes, glasses , new or second hand from any Party donor...OK a bottle of wine occasionally, but that's it. Is @KiarStarmer that desperate ( and that cheap) to have his wardrobe paid for?

True. The police were at the heart of the corruption. They leaned on Channel 4 in 2004 when I was chair to not transmit a film on the subject - to preserve ‘race relations’.

Charles Moore is spot on . Like VAT on private schools this is Labour at its worst and another Party before Country decision We will lose people who give so much

Stripping the Lords of the hereditaries would be an act of harm against our historical DNA

Even Labour accepts that the 92 do much good. Why, then, must they go?

The Chief Rabbi (an absurd post in itself given the structure of UK synagogues) should ration his interventions in British politics. Fears of British jews at home are a reasonable topic. Arms licences and foreign policy not so much.

If you are a man over 65 make sure you go for a free NHS abdominal aortic aneurysm test. Takes 10 mins. There are no symptoms, and it can kill...in seconds...
