My son has lived through four chancellors, three home secretaries, two prime ministers and two monarchs.

He's four months old.
Am I ready to cover a seemingly looming general election with a child under the age of 1?
OK, so this has done serious #numbers.

I don’t have a SoundCloud, but if I did it would be a one-track loop of me shouting “what now?!” at regular intervals.

To new followers, hi 👋🏻.

I’ve probably peaked with this, but stick around for tweets on politics, being a new dad, Chelsea, the NFL, whisky and (occasionally) ties.

🚨 Environment Secretary George Eustice tells Sky News the row over the Northern Ireland Protocol is "very complicated" and "I'm not sure he [Joe Biden] does fully appreciate all of that".
"He is probably at the moment just reading the headlines, reading what the EU is saying, reading what Ireland might be saying, which is that they would like the NI Protocol to work in the way the EU envisage," he says.
"We think he is wrong because the truth is that unless we have a sustainable solution that enables trade to continue between GB and Northern Ireland then we are going to have issues, and that itself would become a challenge to the Belfast Agreement.

In a punchy Commons intervention, former PM Theresa May says it is "incomprehensible" that the UK, which is "one of the most heavily vaccinated countries in the world", is the nation that is the "most reluctant to give its citizens the freedoms those vaccinations should support".
May says Boris Johnson needs to be "upfront" with the public about what the future will look like and tell them that "we will not eradicate" COVID from the UK.

"This may have a practical cost...
"International dispute resolution can be conducted anywhere overseas and the Bill could erode the present pre-eminent position of the UK and, perhaps, especially London...

The government says the results are "very promising" and it has procured 40 million doses of the vaccine.

"While we are optimistic of a breakthrough, we must remember that there are no guarantees," a spokesperson says.
"We will know whether the vaccine meets our robust standards of safety and effectiveness once their safety data has been published, and only then can the medicines regulator consider whether it can be made available to the public...
"Once approved, the NHS stands ready to begin a vaccination programme for those most at risk, as currently recommended by the independent JCVI, before being rolled out more widely."
