As family, friends and former colleagues gather in Grimsby for his memorial service, today we salute the memory of former Labour MP Austin Mitchell, BrexitCentral’s most prolific author. His was an important, authentic and good-humoured voice in the European debate. RIP Austin.

I'm guilty of labelling too many articles as "must reads", but I urge everyone to read this challenging piece and consider making a donation to @mariecurieuk. @anandMenon1 has brought energy and positivity to politics over the past 7 years and I'm sorry 2020 was so tough for him

I've written a rather personal piece on death and grief. My ambition was to try and raise some cash for the fantastic @mariecurieuk hospice in Edinburgh that did so much for us. There's a link at the end (1/2). tortoisemedia.com/2021/06/02…

- Fighting a global pandemic & the economic fallout
- Negotiating an EU-UK trade deal that (on first sight) is far better than the models being discussed by Brexiteers in the runup to 23rd June 2016
That's a pretty epic record for 18 months.
Happy Christmas, Prime Minister 🎄3/3

But a quick thought on @BorisJohnson...
Has any peacetime Prime Minister faced such a tough first 18 months?
- Negotiating the Withdrawal Agreement
- Persuading a hung Parliament to agree an election, and then winning with an 80 majority 2/3

Having made the wrong call on MV3 (remember that? - see below), I’m looking forward to reading the detail of the new UK-EU trade deal. But early signs are very promising, especially on the ECJ. It looks like we truly have taken back control 1/3

I was really sad when I heard yesterday that Stuart Wheeler had passed away. He was one of the most instrumental people in my career and became a good personal friend.
It began with his support for @the_tpa in its early days. 1/10

I’m delighted that the @metpoliceuk have confirmed they won’t be acting on the allegations made against Darren Grimes and Alan Halsall by the @ElectoralCommUK. This proves that the wild allegations made against @darrengrimes & Vote Leave since 2016 are completely baseless. (1/4)

In The Sun today, I return to my old TaxPayers' Alliance stomping ground of tax and spend to discuss the forthcoming Budget. "In our first Budget as a newly born, independent nation, Boris must give all Brits a much-needed boost." #Budget2020 @the_tpa
