Delighted to be in the USA watching Scotland play Haiti tonight, honouring a promise I made to my youngest many years ago that if Scotland qualified we'd go together to see them play... and hopefully win.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of artist David Hockney. In 2018, David Hockney designed The Queen’s Window, a vibrant stained-glass window in the Abbey’s north transept. Hockney's only work in stained glass, the window was commissioned to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It was designed on an iPad and uses Hockney's distinct colour palette of yellow, red, blue, pink, orange and green. The rural scene, featuring hawthorn blossom, was chosen to reflect the Queen's deep love of the countryside. On summer evenings, the light from the window floods the transept, bathing it in a beautiful kaleidoscope of colour. The Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle MBE said: “David Hockney's restless eye and eager enthusiasm for pastures new has left us with an extraordinary legacy that is rich and various and yet also unmistakably his. The window he created for the north transept lets in light that arrives with attitude and even humour, painting the statue of Gladstone in shifting shades throughout the summer months. Hockney has left his mark here and we will long remember a great and very personal genius.”

Remembering David Hockney, he was kind and always had a sparkle in his eye. He never stopped experimenting and is one of the finest painters of our generation.

When most companies' opening remarks during their IPOs were about profit, today it hits something different. It is hope. The once-inspiring future that excited us when we were young but that we dropped after growing up—we have found it again.

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both. I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces. Letter to the PM below.🫡🫡🫡⬇️⬇️

Right decision. First and primary responsibility of any Govt is to protect our people. 🇬🇧

My letter to the Prime Minister

Have to be careful with words like '#grubby' nowadays, Mike... Not long back, forced to tell a female #lawyer, whom I considered to be as #corrupt as any I'd ever encountered, that her grubby little face belonged in the #newspapers, I found she'd reported my opinion to her solicitors' instructed #barrister - who raised it in court with the #judge as suggested #racism!! 😳 Case in which I was acting for another woman, genuine victim of #sex #discrimination at work. High profile #emplaw matter. No references to race. Hadn't even occurred to me up until that point that this appallong lawyer was brown-skinned! Plainly #English, far as I knew. Thankfully judge - senior ex-#military man - wise to their shenanigans and effectively told them to sod off! 🇬🇧 @LeeAndersonMP_ @SarahForRuncorn #r4today #timesradio #racism #DEI #lawyers

Must give you a call sometime soon, Reg. That DM which originated from your account advising that I was now being targeted by 'very top-level' #freemasons was curiously followed by a period of weeks in which FOUR of my cars (different vehicles, all new or nearly new) suffered a quite extraordinary sequence of mechanical or software problems and/or physical damage! Punctures etc. 🤔 Should I decide to report to @UGLE_GrandLodge or even the police, just want to know if you're comfortable with my disclosing your name? Nothing to worry about, at no time have I felt under threat personally. cc @MetPoliceUK @KatyBourne @ColinSutton @ShabanaMahmood @SadiqKhan

@JamieBrysonLLB Situation needs stronger *leadership*, Jamie. Foot soldiers can't be blamed. #Belfast Burning entirely innocent, good people out of their homes totally unacceptable. And counterproductive. #NI better than this. x.com/narindertweets/status/…

At PMQs, Green MP Hannah Spencer, draped in exquisite Gucci, accused Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin of being “dirty and grubby.” But Starmer landed the line, calling out Zack Polanski’s absence and asking if he’d swapped his houseboat for a submarine.

There are alarming reports of settler violence coming from the occupied West Bank: the demolition of homes, relentless expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, ongoing displacement of Palestinians, the threat of an attempted annexation that would – like the decades-long occupation – have no legal validity. The risk of making a two-State solution impossible – when there is no other viable option. And throughout, the presumption of impunity. These injustices must stop. Countries must comply with all their obligations under international law. No exceptions.
