Am hating the abuse I’m getting on here for sticking up for the Cummings’s. But they are old friends & here goes again: they’re human beings with a small child & made a decision in an emergency. PM is satisfied. Hope we can get back to discussing the recovery now. (Fond hope)

I've signed the motion of no confidence in Mr Speaker. This isn't personal: he's a decent man and I'm sure he thought he was doing the right thing yesterday. But Sir Lindsay allowed Labour to use the Islamist threat to change the way our democracy works. This is unacceptable. 1/

The salient fact about the British & slavery is not that we practised it (so did every civilisation in history) but that we abolished it. The salient fact about the British Empire was not its existence (it was the universal model) but its largely peaceful & voluntary dismantling.

It doesn’t matter who has what job in Government if we don’t face facts about what the matter really is. The matter isn’t good or bad ministers. It’s the slow collapse of the economic and social model that the UK has had for 30 years. Since the end of the Cold War we’ve had...

@danny__kruger When a society abandons the idea that all people are created in the image and likeness of God, a hierarchical notion of human worth becomes inevitable. Euthanasia was common in the pagan world for this reason. It is re-emerging as the West re-pagansises.

Whatever Govt emerges from this crisis needs to rebuild the 2019 coalition of voters. This means Brexit, borders, manufacturing, family, place, defence, tradition, solidarity... not just tax cuts and technocracy. 3/
