I did years grabbing MPs for interviews after big votes in the Commons. I've never heard anything quite like Charles Walker on the BBC and Chris Bryant on Sky tonight

Saying words on the radio later. Looking forward to my World Cup tradition of talking with absolute certainty about sport despite almost total ignorance 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

How sad. Buying The Information as a teenager felt wildly sophisticated. Beside myself as a student interviewing Amis. About half artsy undergrads my generation wanted to be him (other half convinced they were Auden). Don't know if he's read so much today.

Huge thanks to sam upton for including me talking about fish and Brexit in the BBC Academy's Podcast series. Long live the radio package. For anyone who fancies archive EU quota analysis & nice effects (all of us, surely) it's five minutes in here - bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

One of the most interesting MPs I ever met Frank Field. Took him for lunch and spent two hours discussing the King James bible. Unique, compassionate and difficult, the way good politicans should be.

A good speech. We shouldn't need to feel grateful that power can pass smoothly - and with some dignity - from one party to another, but in 2024 it's hard not to.
