Did not know that Nick Moar, the guy behind "politics for all" was also The Spectator’s social media editor. The guy's 19!
After initial interest in who was behind the account I sort of switched off after Byline revealed it was a teenager... but the fact this guy is running Spectator social upends the narrative of nerdy amateur outside the bubble... because he's not outside bubble if that's his job
Apparently I need to "up my twitter game" because everyone knew this. Incredible as it might sound I've had other more important things on recently... like trying to tackle the cheese mountain in my kitchen
Still. Thoughts and prayers with James Melville. Where's the lad going to get his news from now it's gone?

Penny Mordaunt's incredible US trade trip has ended in triumph! With a "process memoranda of understanding with" ... er four states... epic stuff
"A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) records international commitments, but in a form and with wording which expresses an intention that it is not to be binding as a matter of international law."

The equivalent of bumping into the street and saying "we must do lunch sometime"

My family hasn't been able to visit a dying relative... because we're in lockdown... or hold a funeral when we lose him

My daughter hasn't had a 13th birthday party... because we're in lockdown ...

Meanwhile... Boris Johnson
They hold you in utter contempt. Utter, utter contempt. It's so disgusting

Millions of us obeyed the rules. Did our best. Tried to slow and stall this nightmare but Boris Johnson with his entitlement and privilege clearly didn't think it applied to him.

Random question - does anyone know how much the fine is for travelling abroad with a GB sticker on your car instead of a 'UK' one? The government brought this weird and pointless law in back in September but I'm struggling to find how much the fine is.
Seems they were insistent on including NI in the sticker hence the 'UK' over GB thing.
Ah yes of course - depends on where you are driving to

Will the real St Æthelgifu or Ælfgifu please stand up
I'm putting my faith in you twitter history people... I'm off to Tesco... or TÆSCO as they called it in the 9th century
