    So @BorisJohnson lectures @Keir_Starmer on 'tone' then proceeds to lose his temper. Marvellous. 😒 #pmqs

    All solidarity to @AngelaRayner. Ridiculous to even think about printing that nonsense. Since women were elected to the Commons 100 years ago we have been undermined, belittled, and objectified. I think it is supposed to put us off. Of course it has the opposite effect.

    When @michaelgove talks about 'broken heartlands', who does he think broke them?

    Aside from spreadsheets jokes, seriously, this is what happens when you go after flashy apps and shiny private sector contracts. Rather than the boring but necessary work of recruiting enough competent civil servants to do the data quality assurance.

    You don't walk out the front door of no10, carrying a prop, unless you want to be the story. You would need spectacular ego. A thunderously large ego.

    Two women a week are killed by a partner or ex-partner. And people are debating whether someone should call the police, whether someone should record it, whether someone should tell people. This is all about power. Don't tell me it isn't.

    When you grow up knowing what unemployment does to people - what it can do to whole towns or cities - that's a reason to be political. It is mine. Very grateful to @Keir_Starmer for asking me to do this job.
