Farewell Klute, the best nightclub outside Moscow, after working there dealing with SW1 felt like easy mode. Few know my dad & uncles named it after watching the classic 70s film, watch it if you never have (Maybe The Startup Party should buy the building for our northern HQ...)

Sad news about the death of Frank Field. He was a kind man who was interested in people - whether they were ‘important’ or not. I always thought he had this look in his eyes that gave you the impression he was just about to tell a really funny joke.
NEW: German police have arrested an Alternative for Germany (AfD) aide who works in the European Parliament over accusations he spied for China. “Jian G. is an employee of a Chinese secret service,” the German Public Prosecutor said this morning politico.eu/article/german…
Which minister left secret Rwanda plan lying around? ❌ Michael Tomlinson just told @NickFerrariLBC it wasn’t him ❌ Victoria Prentis told Playbook it wasn’t her No word yet from Andrew Mitchell who sat in front of @StephSpyro who found document 🤔 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Asked by @GeorgeWParker for his message to Tory MPs who are considering sending no confidence letters post-local elections, Cleverly says: “If you’re going to jump out of the aeroplane, please make sure you have a parachute and don’t say ‘we will work it out on the way down’.”
James Cleverly going gang busters in furious attack on Sadiq Khan: Accuses him of talking "more about gaza than black kids getting stabbed in South East London. This is our capital city and ten million people are being failed. He's been asleep at the wheel."
Cameron proves that in Westminster, fact is stranger than fiction and makes the point for me.
David Cameron jointly wins frontbencher of the year at the Pagefield Parliamentarian Awards … with Wes Streeting “If told me a year ago I’d win 2024 frontbencher of the year, I probably would have said you’d been reading too much Nadine Dorries fantasy fiction.”

Updated West Midlands Mayoral Voting Intention 🌹Lab 41 🌳Con 38 ➡️Reform 6 🔶LD 5 🌍Green 5 ⬜️Independent 5 1,018 in WMCA, 11-17 April
Heading back to Westminster today after a year off with this little guy. Looking forward to catching up with everyone. Special thanks to @RishiSunak for not calling that May election for straight after my return.
Fuelling up ... So happy to have run my first marathon today in 4 hrs 55 mins! The crowds were amazing — especially my friends whose incredible support helped me do it under 5 hours 🥰
I’ll be on Sky and GB News later to talk about my new book No Way Out, published on Thurs. Here’s the piece I did for the Sunday Times about some of the new material thetimes.co.uk/article/741301…
Earlier today I spoke to Prime Minister @netanyahu and reiterated our support for Israel’s security following Iran’s reckless attack at the weekend. Further significant escalation will only deepen instability in the region. This is a moment for calm heads to prevail.
🚨Some personal news from me: From May I'll be freelance full time. It's scary but something I've wanted to do for a very long time. I do all sorts - writing, broadcasting, podcasts etc, so do reach out for commissions! I've even made a helpful website: zoegrunewald.com
Tip of the hat to departing Treasury spad @cameronbrownuk after one hell of a mad slog. One of the best in the business and a gent to boot. My favourite over the years... "We don't comment on Budget speculation but you'll look like a twat on Wednesday if you write that."
Rather poor framing from @politico to give credence to Clarke’s opposition to smoking restrictions as “even Tory wet” considering he was famously a Director of British American Tobacco for over a decade!
Doesn't bode well for the Tories that top aides to the Chancellor and Chairman reckon now is the time to quit and find other jobs. The former is in charge of "the plan" which is said to be "working" while the latter is in charge of the CCHQ ground campaign for the election.
A sizeable takeaway order being delivered to the Foreign Office just now as the U.K. works out its diplomatic response to the attacks overnight .
EXC: Conservative mayor Ben Houchen tells me Tory leader wannabes are bidding for his support ahead of the general election Also warns ousting Rishi before the next national vote would be “catastrophic” Plus lots more 👇 telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
@theipaper Starmer's view on China: Beijing poses a challenge with "human rights abuses, surveillance, interference" but we must work together to tackle problems such as climate change. Doesn't rule out trip to meet Xi Jinping if he becomes PM. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
EXCLUSIVE Keir Starmer joins calls for 🇬🇧 military budget to increase to 2.5% of GDP. He tells @theipaper: "On defence spending, obviously we want to get to 2.5% as soon as resources allow that to happen." Read the full story: inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
