    Got round London Marathon in 4.45hrs, progress on 2025. The crowds were incredible, the experience exhilarating & humbling. I ran in memory of Laura for @NLondonHospice. I’ve raised £24k over 2 years, thanks to all you wonderful people for sponsoring me 🙏🏻

    “I don’t claim to have the education of an MP in parliament, but I do have a social education. I’m clued up on the difference a U-turn decision would make on 1.3m vulnerable children registered for free school meals because ten years ago I was one of them”

    It can be funny where your career takes you sometimes. If someone had said ten years ago that I would one day be writing for The Times I would have laughed, and yet here I am on Monday evening...

    BREAK: And so it begins. Just heard that Jacob Rees-Mogg has resigned from govt. A close ally of both Johnson and Truss, I’m told his letter has been delivered to the new PM

    Listening back to PM statement again. Strip it back and in a nutshell, he apologising to people for how it looks, not the actual BYOB event on May 20, which he maintains was a 'work event'.

    Raab ‘corrects’ Starmer and points out that capacity is at 40,000 and says the govt are working with commercial partners to get to 100k. Starmer: I didn’t need correcting because I pointed out the actual test figure which is 18k. Ouch #PMQs

    I’ve watched this a number of times. What strikes me is Patrick Hitchinson’s humility, his dignity and his humanity. He really is the best of us

    Sky News wasn't selected for a Q at the press conference today, so I have to sit this one out. But I'm dismayed to see that this press conference is an all-male affair. Not one female participant - from the podium to the press and the public.
