He's a snob, which I guess understandably rubs some people up the wrong way. But I can overlook the snobbery for the same reason I can overlook it in Alan Clark's diaries - he's self-aware enough to ham it up a bit.

I read Out Of Sheer Rage recently because I vaguely remembered someone on here recommending it, and having seen this I now realise it was you. So thank you! I enjoyed it very much and its the sort of thing I wouldn’t usually go for.

My view on JG is that 90% of his takes on culture are great but his stuff on politics is mostly terrible. This column contains some genuinely useful advice which has actually shifted my reading habits. www.ft.com/content/685a...

This brand based in Accrington made an exact replica of that shirt a couple of years ago. Sadly a very limited run and I didn't manage to get one. www.trickett-england.co.uk

I'm at Conservative conference next week with @instituteforgovernment.org.uk talking integrated settlements, local growth plans, fiscal devolution and probably a bunch of other stuff.

Relieved that the weather has played ball in Liverpool for conference. Last year I attended an event where the politician on the panel arrived late and was so wet that he looked like he’d just stepped out of the River Mersey.

Took Kasper to a physio today where he had to wear safety goggles due to some kind of laser being used, so please enjoy this photo of him looking like a WW2 fighter pilot.
