Good to speak to Alain Tolhurst on the PoliticsHome pod about just how important the Fair Pay Agreement in social care is. Care is some of the most important work in our economy. Yet care workers are undervalued and underpaid. (Excuse the slight error in the auto subtitles!)

Good observation. Among the Top 50, and the Top 10 for sure, the brisket is all spectacular. Because of that, it’s not the thing that separates one joint from another. A great slice of brisket has become the prerequisite instead of something distinctive.

Very challenging quote-tweet prompt. Do you copy-paste a thing about how people who use AI aren't ensouled and won't see the kingdom of heaven or complain about how we shouldn't be taking pictures of people in public?

A nice moment in the Commons this morning as Commons leader Lucy Powell pays tribute to Richard Wheeler on his final day as Parliamentary Editor, after 12 years in the gallery for the Press Association. He'll be hugely missed.

Fitting tribute to a brilliant reporter. I worked with Richard in the PA gallery team and he was brilliant, dedicated and absolutely lovely. A massive loss to us on the parliamentary press gallery

🏏 The Chatty Bats were not successful today… but it was close. Been a pleasure playing with these lads for the last five years. Born in lockdown it’s time for a new skipper…
