This is wonderful
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..."

Just for context for everyone else, there was also 207 new Gardai on the same bulletin. #balancedreporting

I feel so sad for good colleagues losing jobs @Telegraph. It says it will focus on new revenue streams including “video, audio, puzzles, events, B2B, licensing, commerce and new products”. These people seem to forget that without covering news and sport there IS no product 💔

So Telegraph has ejected @GavinMairs a rugby correspondent of the highest class - in my career at Sunday Times he was a relentless opponent. - and a magnificent friend. Insanity rules

The great @donalmacintyre has a book out on the #noahdonohoe case. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I read it earlier this week. He kindly agreed to do an interview with me on our Shattered Lives pod. I could have spoken to him four hours.

Thoughts with some bloody brilliant colleagues at The Telegraph. Hearing some top operators losing their jobs. Awful.
