I have reached the age where I have stopped keeping score of my birthdays in the hope the Grim Reaper will do the same. No entendre left undoubled.

John Healey shadowed me for over 4 years. While i didn’t agree with everything he did i know he tried his best and had the interests of the Armed Forces at his heart. i know he loved the job and it will have not been easy to resign. His loyalty to his Party and PM was not reciprocated by them when it mattered and i think he was left with no choice. i wish him the very best. His resignation was one of principle.

If ignorance is bliss, Nicola Sturgeon must be the happiest person in Scotland.
If not, she must be the least curious spouse ever.

"We asked one hundred people to name the most unlikely excuses a former Scottish First Minister would give when it turned out her husband had it away on his pins with over £400,000 of SNP funds.
"Nicola, you're up first."

A short joke for those Labour members and MPs with short memories.
A Blairite, a Brownite, an Edite, and a Corbynite walk into a bar.
And the barman says, "Hello Mr Burnham."

Two faces of the Green Party. The new Green party membership has a message for its old leader Caroline Lucas.

There is a reason, and it’s a good one: @TheGreenParty are running candidates who’ve publicly expressed violently antisemitic views. And you are personally evading this demonstrable truth and its moral import.

On this point—the bill’s drafter has said that they didn’t get into major questions like “does this completely transform the NHS” because…there wasn’t enough time.
