When @SeneddWaste posted their investigation into this and graciously shared their findings with me, it seemed worth looking into the story in further detail and raising a few more questions with the Ministry of Justice. My @Telegraph article here: https://t.co/spGWMhsAuj https://t.co/aaslpLlLi4

Thank you @DiaChakravarty and @Telegraph for covering our exposé on taxpayers’ cash being used to fund laptops for prisoners. We came across this after an insider at HMP Cardiff tipped us off. No Welsh media were interested … https://t.co/cHN3ngIBfQ

Important if infuriating thread, not the least because it highlights the philosophy of the people pushing this agenda. The EDI industry is as vast as it is powerful, and the politicians willing to challenge it - let alone fight it - are few. Grim.

4/ One of the action points of the plan is to undertake a new pilot exercise to monitor how future REF funding (about £2 billion per year) will be used to further EDI objectives and outcomes. https://t.co/49Jv5zjUlZ

Jenrick Effect at Blackfriars this morning, with police presence both inside and outside the barriers, very clearly watching for fare dodgers. Could do with a bit of that at Victoria.

How are people so surprised that cultures are very, very different around the world, that when they clash often there is no meeting halfway and only one can prevail? "Showing respect" to an alien culture can mean sacrificing more of oneself than either party is willing to?

'If he's married then he's not going to touch another woman.' Caller Ifty thinks Khabib snubbing Kate Abdo's handshake was a 'sign of respect' and that the sports anchor should have better knowledge of other cultures. Shelagh Fogarty isn't having it. https://t.co/tqyI4ZLtzH

It's remarkable just how apathetic we are towards our elderly. Mr Price may not have had any family, where are the neighbours? Wider community? How were these monsters allowed to wage a "prolonged campaign of harassment" against a septuagenarian without a single person caring?

Not sure this is the best case for welcoming migrants. If those coming in small boats hold the UK responsible for the destroying their land, are they crossing several safe countries to come and hold us responsible for our sins? Is that meant to convince the public to let them in?

These alliances between particular communities and political parties are clearly cynical, promoting a sort of sectarian politics which undermines our national identity and interests. Labour still the main culprit but other parties are sadly not immune. https://t.co/Qy5xxsmAXd https://t.co/R8Mpy6KoLW

There is also a not-so secret group of senior Tories, long-term supporters and donors for whom allowing Boris back would be the last straw. They’re planning to join Reform if “Prodigal John-son”, as the Sun calls him, returns.

EXCL: Senior Tories are hatching a secret plot to bring back Boris Johnson as party leader. Comes after the Conservatives sunk to fourth in the polls under Kemi Badenoch. https://t.co/5foM93yMZT

Does the state actually manage to successfully carry out ANY of the functions we expect, require and pay for it to do? Utterly shameless. https://t.co/eYaLBqJ7tH

When “anti-colonialists”, in an ecstasy of self-righteousness, decide best not to consult the very people they are determined to decolonise…

My @Telegraph Waste Watch column this week is on Brent Council twinning with Nablus in West Bank based on "shared values" and "shared challenges". But in the process, is it abandoning its own communities? I'll be in the comment section for a while, do please join me.

Lots to unpack and worry about this report, but this on ending inheritance tax relief on shares and hitting smaller companies’ ability to access capital in the process is a good place to start. https://t.co/JtaR5wezxT

My column today: it was a Labour govt which introduced Business Property Relief in 1976 to encourage the continuity of family businesses. The shortsighted Labour govt currently in power is set to do away with it for a one-off tax hit.

In other words, the EU says jump, Sir Keir Starmer says how high. The UK Government will now try to sell this to us as a win.

BREAKING: The UK-EU deal via @AlbertoNardelli *Keir Starmer has made a major late concession on fisheries to allow the EU TWELVE YEARS ongoing access to British waters on status quo arrangements. They will now expire in 2038. UK had originally sought just a four year extension.
