Well I thought I'd change the handle as I've given up the booze. Francophile. Pro European. Supports Ukraine. Likes music. And a fair bit of sport. Once wrote letter of the week for "90 Minutes". Never cashed the cheque. ¡No pasarán!

It just gets worse. It really is the hope that kills you. It's going all 2013, isn't it? #commanders

I'm always amazed by the focus on taking blood pressure when you're relaxed. As if taking it at the best possible time shows it is okay, when actually most of the time it is higher than that. It's like we're kidding ourselves that it is all fine.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

None of the mentions of #sleeper relate to the sleeper I saw tonight, who were ace. Made up for never seeing them back in the day when nobody at uni wanted to go.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I have written a very serious piece about Robert Jenrick for The Observer. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Robert Jenrick is right, we have an integration problem: ...

The shadow chancellor has railed against the lack of integration in parts of Britain. But it’s the ‘flag-bothering patriots’ who don’t want to mix

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Old Dewi seems to have a massive chip on his shoulder about "elites". He can't think he might be wrong, it's just he's from Wales and therefore everyone thinks he's no good. #letby

I'm no golf fan, but I do like how the Ryder Cup shows that GB and Ireland are much better with Europe than without.

Nothing says pride in your country more than a cheap Chinese made flag stuck to a lamppost by the rain and held up with black cable ties. It's the sort of thing that no doubt would have inspired all the boys to go over the top for king and country.
