Best anecdote in Carol Thatcher's book about her father is when Sir Denis boarded a train at Paddington in which the only empty compartment was reserved for Rosewood Psychiatric Hospital. Denis travelled alone and in comfort as far as Reading when "all these chaps piled in", accompanied by a male nurse, who counted them before the train moved off. 'One, two, three, four ... who are you?" "I'm the Prime Minister's husband." "Six, seven, eight, nine..."

Cuando alguien me pregunta qué voy a hacer más tarde y mi respuesta es «nada», por favor entiende que nada no es un hueco en mi agenda. Nada es el evento. Nada es el plan.

"Our vision is simple. If we shift all the money and resources to people who vote for us, we'll breeze it in '29. And who can blame us?"

An Islamic terrorist who was part of the Al Qaeda group that beheaded Ken Bigley, and who then joined an Isis unit that carried out stonings, beheadings and mass executions - came to Britain on small boat and can't be deported over concerns that his life would be in danger and now does his grocery shopping a stone’s throw from Windsor Castle.

I absolutely did not say investing is just chance. Nor do I think that or mean that. A lot of people are very touchy on here.
Investing is “just chance” - is it any wonder we’re a nation of cash savers and not investors?

And for clarity, Blount and Blunt are pronounced the same way. But I simplified it to Blunt as I was tired of people rhyming my name with “count”.

Let's hope that the use of gasoline / diesel online price-disclosure works better in the UK than it did in Chile, where it pushed prices higher (rather than undercut rivals, many gas stations matched their rivals' higher prices instead): pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/…

Replying to @MrHarryCole
Have you ever worked out how much Twitter pays you for 300 people calling you a wanker on a single tweet?

The OECD average is 54% of average wage. The UK is at 67% and climbing. Not only is this not sustainable, it is now compressing entry level salaries causing real unemployment effects. We have to be able to have a serious conversation about its level.
The minimum wage is a great example of a policy that MPs love to use for virtue points that is actually incredibly harmful in practice, unless used as a true floor like in the USA. The state should not be setting national wage floors that are 66% of the mean salary.

I fell out with someone because I told them I knew all the words to You Can Call Me Al and she didn't believe me. She ended up calling me a smug cow and we haven't spoken since 😂 #TOTP

Although if the job cuts lead to lower insurance premiums (as we would expect in a competitive market) you presumably welcome it as a govt minister, since the cost of living is your #1 priority? (Governing is hard)
Like many people across Swansea Bay, I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Admiral Insurance are to cut 500 jobs from its UK business. I’ve asked for an urgent meeting with the company to talk about what happens next - particularly in Swansea.
