This is horrible news for you and your family and friends. I am so sorry. I’m pleased though that you want to support suicide prevention work. I am Patron of the @MaytreeRespite , the only suicide sanctuary in the country, and know the team would love to meet you 1/4
Can I also make a gentle plea in terms of the word ‘commit.’ The word ‘commit’ relates to when suicide was a crime, or viewed as a sin. It is neither. It is just the ultimate in human suffering and mental distress. She took her own life. She ended her life by suicide 2/4
I hope you don’t mind me saying this at this time. It really is a well-intentioned comment. Changing the language surrounding mental health and mental illness is an important part of the @TimetoChange @MindCharity campaign and I know they too would welcome your support. 3/4
You and I are usually on different sides of political debate but I hope that when the time is right for you, we can meet to discuss working together for better awareness, understanding and services for mental health/suicide prevention. All the best to you and family. RIP Rose 4/4

On the back of our Freeports discussion on @RestIsPolitics q and a today, and in particular Gove sitting on the report into corruption allegations re the Houchen scheme on Teesside, several people suggested I follow @EuropeanPowell So I did. This seems like yet another big 1/4
political scandal from which most of the media turn away because it is too complicated and not good for their Tory friends. As with the Post Office @PrivateEyeNews honourable exception. This is about so much more than one scheme in the North East. It is all part of the 2/4.
radical right and the anarcho capitalists putting themselves above law, tax, regulation and all the other stuff they see as being for the little people. As discussed in But What Can I Do, now out in paperback and I was glad to see the excellent product placement at Euston 3/4

Elliott’s “elevation” (sic) even to a House of Lords as discredited as this one is yet another triumph for the Sovereign Individual view of life in which the elites pretend to fight for the people and in so doing take ever more power wealth and influence for themselves. 1/4
That Truss was even allowed a registration honours list is a disgrace, and a sign of Sunak weakness. That No 10 defend it by saying “every PM” did so is a straightforward lie. Neither TB nor GB had a resignation honours list. It is a Tory thing, all part of creeping Tory 2/4
corruption. That the people who gave us Brexit should be “honoured”, rather than held accountable for the lies told and the crimes committed in their campaign indicates just how debased our politics has become in a very short period of time. The corruption will get much 3/4

Oh dearie me -@piersmorgan seems to have forgotten about the several inquiries, including with evidence given on oath, which cleared me of lying or any other wrongdoing in relation to Iraq (an issue which was not, so far as I am aware, part of his never ending beef with Harry)1/4
I know his pal Donald thinks lashing out at judges is the way to behave when a court goes against you but I’m not persuaded it is a clever strategy. As I said this morning he and the other senior media figures would have done better to be far less defensive at Leveson 2/3
His statement suggests to me the defensiveness goes on. I have no desire whatever to harm the Mirror, a paper I worked for and have long supported, and the Mail has done far more damage to🇬🇧 But at a time when the rule of law is under threat from government and media it is 3/4

I suspect that if the media had engaged properly and honestly with the Leveson Inquiry, they would not be in quite the mess they are in right now. The papers will leap on those parts of the judgement that assist their agenda but the bottom line is that Prince Harry’s claims 1/4
of industrial hacking/other illegality in various parts of the press are borne out. And there will be a lot more to come with some very prominent figures who gave evidence to Leveson under oath likely to be feeling the heat right now. Several papers which have consistently 2/4
denied illegality are being exposed as having commissioned, endorsed and covered up crime. If this was any other walk of life dare I say the press would be merciless. It also underlines the political error in going soft on the Leveson recommendations and not even allowing him 3/4

So the government has spent an extra £100m on the Rwanda gimmick and didn’t bother to tell Parliament or the public when the third Rwanda Home Secretary went off on his treaty signing day trip the other day. We are now on £240m - £80m per Home Secretary. And not a single 1/4
migrant has gone. We are paying the price of performative politics, populism which is all about exploiting a problem not addressing it. It was their decision to make this one of their five “priorities.”
For the public it is way behind cost of living, NHS, energy/environment 2/4
and more. And even if they get a plane in the air, it will be a tiny pinprick in the problem they claim they are addressing. The Rwanda government must be laughing their heads off. First they came for the sleeves on the Arsenal shirts. Then they came for our cash and jobs to 3/4

Not sure I can take much of Johnson back on the airwaves. There is nobody left but Dorries and a handful of client journalists who think he is anything but a fraud and a charlatan. But it is important the full truth of his mishandling of Covid is exposed, and that some kind of1/4
justice is possible for those who lost loved ones because of his total lack of seriousness. His current prebuttal strategy with the help of said client papers shows that as ever all he cares about is what they say about him not the reality of the impact of decisions he made 2/4
The right wing press coverage of the inquiry so far has been typically disgraceful. Most of their readers would barely know it is happening. They will be gearing up to pretend he does well. Which is why we should probably put ourselves through the pain of watching and hearing 3/4
