  1. @matvail2002 As a Kiwi (former citizen, proud All Black), I'll take it!
  2. @matvail2002 God Save the Queen and God Defend New Zealand! @martincoiteux @liseravary @liberal_tory @sproudfoot
  3. @timothy_stanley Her Majesty's Daily Telegraph (see also: Ma'am's Racing Post).
  4. @matvail2002 Is it Friday already? That'll explain this, then! huff.to/L0SJX7 #ff @martincoiteux @liseravary @liberal_tory @sproudfoot
  5. Mats Persson of the excellent @OpenEurope on Spain as a microcosm of Europe - the centre can't control the periphery. tgr.ph/KWYJ5E
  6. .@TimMontgomerie's "The New Erotica" photo shoot in Tatler. Better to be a broadsheet than a bedsheet. bit.ly/LKZefI
  7. Two more Greek polls give New Democracy leads over SYRIZA. Looks like that 30-26.5 SYRIZA lead was a rogue. Poll blackout starts tomorrow.
  8. Rebecca Black endorses a Mexican presidential candidate. Which is strange enough, but WHY DIDN'T SHE DO IT ON FRIDAY?! huff.to/L0SJX7
  9. @tnewtondunn August's fuel duty rise will make granny/pasty/charity tax look harmless. Clear the decks? There's an iceberg ahead. @paulwaugh
  10. Of course government keeps growing - you can't have fiscal restraint without monetary restraint. (by @DouglasCarswell) bit.ly/LXlmHe
  11. @grahame75 There's nothing more British than that! But we're getting dangerously close to a Ministry of Silly Walks now...
  12. @TheIPA I'll make sure I do! I gave a talk in Melbourne in January, but was so busy; IPA will be my first port of call next time I'm over.
  13. @robinmoss86 Govt gives them access to "stuff in museums", not culture. Telling the poor what their culture is is offensive. @allanholloway
  14. .@robinmoss86 So you'll accept DCMS taxes the working class to make them act like the rich? That's why it's anti-cultural. @allanholloway
  15. @robinmoss86 You seem to be under a mistaken belief that culture is "Stuff in museums". It's not - that's my point. @allanholloway
  16. @PedShayer Agreed. But only one Secretary of State's on the news right now, so let's scrap his department first. ;)
  17. @ziggy2633 The only thing that terrifies me more than government controlling culture and sport is government controlling the media. ;)
