Still some colour in the garden, but for how much longer. The nights are getting colder.

Seen in Barter Books, Alnwick, this morning: my 2017 memoir, Hinterland. What used to be known on BBC Radio One as either 'a golden oldie' or 'a rave from the grave', Take your pick.

I was thinking the other day how different things might have been. Also started watching A Very British Coup this evening.

I once asked defence secretary, Geoff Hoon, how we got suckered into helping to invade Iraq. He replied, 'We didn't realise until too late that Dick Cheney was the president'.

@chrismullinexmp.bsky.social Hi Chris, I picked up your book 'a view from the foothills'. I've not been able to put it down since I got it. Very enjoyable read. Thank you for your years of public service.

It’s more than a worthy successor to the brilliant previous 3 volumes of diaries - definitely recommended reading.

Loads of truth in this @chrismullinexmp.bsky.social piece. It is also quite shocking to see former Chancellor Hunt also being feted as some fiscal guru by some commentators and podcasters when he was a totally irresponsible Chancellor knowing full well his party would not be elected.

The idea of replacing Starmer is just utter nonsense. He's just won an election with a huge majority. It would look foolhardy, sel-obssessed, chaotic, insane: classic Tory bollocks.
