Brilliant from Crick, but he should have gone further. Ian Gow was Thatcher's PPS, then Housing Minister, as Right to Buy peaked in 1984. A 2013 Mirror investigation found his son Charles Gow & wife owned at least 40 ex-council flats on one London estate, which they leased at huge rents. 🧵 #C4News

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

On the day after the referendum I remember saying to someone "the worst thing about this is we're going to leave and then we're going to spend the next 20 years trying to get back in and by then I'll be retirement age..."

Released 30 Sept 1977, "New Boots and Panties" by the legendary Ian Dury. The album's title derives from Dury's habit of buying clothes second hand and refers to the only items of clothing he insisted on buying new. Every track is an absolute classic, especially 'Billericay Dickie'. #IanDury

Peter Thurlow spent 50 years in politics and 30 in PR. His lesson for those seeking a closer relationship with Europe? Decide whether you want to win – or just make a noise. He considers what a credible route back towards the EU might look like. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @peterthurlow.bsky.social

Andy Burnham has done it – he’s talking about Brexit. But now what?

Imagine if Burnham started running a campaign of "The only way to stop the boats is to rejoin the EU" That'd break the Reform/Restore knuckle draggers minds.

Many people still blame the dinosaur extinction on an asteroid. Poppycock!

Two dinosaurs balanced on a little bit of remaining land in a huge flood, the ark is sailing away full of animals, one dinosaur saying to the other "oh crap! Was that today?

Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ

All this hoo-haa about State Pensions. No matter how it calculated, the pension will still be one of the lowest in the developed world. Perhaps we should be talking about that instead? #newsnight

Join me on GB News where I will be lying about what Andy Burnham said, pretending to give a shit about pensioners and definitely not mentioning any £5m gifts, illegal donations or police investigations.
