So unless you earn £38K you can no longer marry anyone who doesn’t have their own right to live here. People keep saying that means 73 per cent of Brits can’t marry a foreigner - but it’s worse than that isn’t it? You get married when you’re young. Hardly anyone young earns that.

Honestly the hardest thing about writing political columns at the moment is just trying to remember even a third of the ridiculous and appalling things that they’ve done.

I honestly thought that time he was on the media rounds on Barnard Castle weekend, desperately trying to discuss the widening of the A66 was the biggest tit of himself Grant Shapps would ever make.

I’ve written to @Keir_Starmer to request he pays for the criminal damage the Just Stop Oil attacks on the Energy Security Department caused this morning As the political wing of Just Stop Oil, it is the Labour Party not the taxpayer that should be paying the bill

The thing about the Jeremy Hunt “£100,000 is not a high salary” thing is not whether or not it’s true, it’s that he’s freely saying it took a chance meeting with a stranger in Godalming to explain to him why his flagship childcare policy from the 2023 budget is a complete mess.

Always nice to have two by-lines on day one. A first sketch, and a long term special project with the arts desk…

I made this point on TV once, and the other panelist, an actual expert, told me that, (I think), 40 per cent of global emissions come from countries who themselves account for between 1 and 2 per cent of emissions. If they all abdicate responsibility in this way, we’ve no chance.

That poll that said they’ll get 90 seats - I honestly think it could be less. They have a leader who is as bad a campaigner as it’s possible to be. And also, this is all they’ve got.

Sketch here, on another glorious day in Westminster. Morning: How, Mr Bates, can a miscarriage of justice on this scale ever possibly happen? Afternoon: how can we get around international human rights law and start deporting these people to Rwanda?

Dear people under the age of about 30, I swear the world wasn’t always like this. For a little while, maybe twenty years or so ago, it was kind of normal. Not sure it’s ever going back.
