The damage Lord Frost has done to the economy of the United Kingdom, our reputation for competence and the Union of the United Kingdom ensures him a place in history books. The more nonsense he writes, the more he resembles the male version of the historic Liz Truss disaster.

Just did a radio interview for my new book and the presenter said afterwards “I was also supposed to ask you about Angela Rayner, but I saw what you said on the telly and I completely agree with you.” Broadcasters; When the Mail says ‘Jump!’ you don’t *have* to ask ‘How high?’

A strong first contender for Great British Railways' branding!
A Labour government will put our railways back in public hands during its first term. With Great British Railways, we'll take back control of the tracks as contracts run out. A publicly owned, passenger-focused network, delivering better services and more value for taxpayers 🇬🇧
@DPJHodges Day 21: And still, no one gives a shit.
Ash Regan has just become the most powerful woman in Scotland. Life comes at you fast.
Ash Regan, who holds decisive vote, has written to Yousaf with a series of demands around independence and women’s rights Alex Salmond tells Times Radio: “If I were Humza Yousaf, I’d get drafting a very favourable answer, otherwise he’s going to be known as ‘Humza the Brief’"
Very supportive reception for Labour plans on rail even though details are still unclear. Rail seen as emblematic reversal of disliked privatisation.
It was a joy to meet with @Keir_Starmer today in London to discuss our shared values for a better future in our communities, our countries and in the world.
Great to speak with @SpeakerPelosi today. Always good to talk about politics in the UK and US, the unique bond between our two countries and how our collective values can bring prosperity and security across the world.
Britain's railways are simply not delivering. Labour has a plan to get them back on track, to put passengers first, and to get Britain moving 👇
Labour’s plan for Great British Railways is spot on. The track had to be nationalised by the Blair govt after the private company collapsed. The same now happening to train operators whose costs/profits are excessive with plummeting service standards. Time to put passengers first
The great @StewartPurvis points out @Ofcom is even misrepresenting what its focus groups told it.
Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com #Ofcom #GBNews
Another excellent blog from Stewart Purvis, a former Ofcom official, on the absurd mess Ofcom have got themselves into over GB News.

🚨JUST ANNOUNCED: Labour will create Great British Railways. Under Labour our railways will be: ✅Publicly owned ✅Passenger focused ✅Fit for the future Only Labour has a plan to get our trains back on track: labour.org.uk/get-britain-mo…
My rebuttal of the idea that privatisation boosted rail usage
“British Rail was actually a success, because…” Q: “Was it?” “Yes it was a success…” Q: “Well hang on…” Rail expert Christian Wolmar comments on Labour’s plan to take every major train operating company back into public hands. #Newsnight
If Labour did this the BBC would be having a nervous breakdown
To get the £75 billion number, the government has assumed a baseline with spending frozen in cash terms and then added up all of the differences. If you instead assume a baseline of spending frozen as a % GDP, it's an extra £20 billion over 6 years. Details here.
Worth a listen BBC R4 Media Show @BBCRosAtkins & @katierazz exposing the feebleness of @Ofcom as a regulator of news broadcasting.
This is *so* very well deserved. @MishalHusain is not only a peerless interviewer, brilliant colleague and friend but she has also changed the status of women on @BBCr4today, a truly impressive achievement.
This happened today .. appreciative and rather overwhelmed as I am, I do want to say that in broadcasting, every ‘individual’ contribution comes amid a team effort. So - thank you colleagues and friends @BBCr4today @BBCRadio4 And of course thank you @vlvuk
