In proof I spend too much time on the internet: I can confirm Hannah Spencer’s blouse is NOT gucci. But Google Images DOES tell you it’s gucci if you just reverse image search it. Maybe AI doesn’t know all

It’s a joy to be covering @AgnesChambre for the next year, who has always been such a genuinely lovely and supportive person.

I’m so, so excited for this role, but it is such a sadness to say goodbye to my politico colleagues. I’ve been so lucky to work with some of the cleverest, nicest people in the journalism, who have all been kind enough to put up with my awful playbook puns.
