A gent of the old school. One of that sadly diminishing tribe, the one-nation Tories. One of only a handful with the courage to publicly back my campaign on the Birmingham Six. It was a pleasure serving with him.

Please can neutral commentators stop referring to the tax 'burden'. Despite recent increases, the GDP/Tax ratio remains lower in the UK than in most other comparable economies. Tax fairly raised and distributed is the subscription we pay for living in a civilised society.

The next Labour leader should preferably be: (a) a woman (b) northern and (c) not too closely associated with the outgoing management. A sense o humour and a touch of charisma would be useful, too.

My gripe about the BBC is that the news is becoming so insular. Entire bulletins pass with scarcely a foreign story. Also, a growing tendence to obsess about big domestic stories to the exclusion of all else. Not to mention increasing tendency to resort to fatuous vox pops.

Following the demonstration organised by the Jewish Board of Deputies outside parliament earlier this month, I published tweets which offended a number of people. On reflection I can see why they were upset and I apologise. The offending tweets have been deleted.

A recent YouGpov poll found that 63 percent of Tory party members are delighted/pleased/relieved by the prospect of a no-deal Brexit. The comparable figure for the electorate as a whole is 18 percent. And they have the nerve to suggest that Labour is in the grip of extremists.

Interesting interview. I think describing Mick Lynch as flustered is pushing it a tad. He comes across as almost scarily unflustered to me - I don't envy those who have to face him across a negotiating table.
