If you've heard me cite the Yeats poem, The Second Coming, to describe what Trump is doing then you'll enjoy this little bit of genius as much as I did...

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.

Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

Just watching "The Night Manager" again before the new series. It really is the cream of British TV. The BBC at its best.

My lovely (huge) community choir, Ashford Sings!, will be singing under the Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square today, between 5 and 6pm. We'll be singing a mix of festive pop and carols and collecting for Pilgrims Hospices. If you're in London, do come along.
