I couldn't remember the name on Friday evening though, just as - the day after I'd finished the book - I couldn't remember the definitive explanation for the 8/2 clue!

Thank you for a most enjoyable evening. I recall that Tommy Cope - he of the "recondite adjective" - is the character from the Midlands.

I've just been rewatching your Boris Johnson at the UN video youtu.be/sRo908dwjHk?.... Trump's performance today is surely crying out for a parody!

Thank you for a very thought-provoking evening. And I enjoyed the nod to Theresa May's conference speech!

It began in Birmingham apparently www.newstatesman.com/politics/soc.... I doubt that you'll see many flags around the Glee Club though. Roll on November!

Flags and loathing in Birmingham

The streets of the city are full of Union Jacks – and a new battle between patriotism and nationalism.

A strong leader wins arguments through the power of persuasion and a convincing policy agenda… not through withdrawing the whip having failed to persuade amidst a policy shambles.

Here’s a reflective mash-up of “White Cliffs of Dover” & “Over the Rainbow” we made about VE Day and where we’re at 80 years on. Dedicated to Great Grandad (DFC as an RAF pilot, 619 Squadron, Lancasters) - his favourite saying was "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
