An honour to present
@UTVNews
for the first time this evening. Grateful for the opportunity after a lot of work went into making this happen. I wore my granddad's tie that he gave me for my first ever job interview. I'm sure he'd be glad it's been put to good use.

NEW: Sources close to Privileges Committee say evidence is so damning that Boris Johnson could be 'gone by Christmas' if he returns. One Tory MP tells me any attempt to kill the inquiry could 'bring down the govt'. Yet momentum builds behind Johnson.

If you don't count Chancellors who sadly died just those who simply lost office you have to go back to... Baron Thomas Denman in 1834, and he was only in a caretaker role under the Duke of Wellington

Nadhim Zahawi lasted 63 days. Kwarteng looks on for just 40 days. Not since the tragic death of Iain Macleod in 1970 has a Chancellor served for such a short period. twitter.com/Steven_Swinfor…

EXCL: Last night’s LGBT party at Conservative conference descended into claims of homophobic abuse. Attendees had to be removed for using highly offensive homophobic slurs. One gay Conservative attending told me “Morally I don’t feel I fit in anymore”.

It was a great honour to work with
@itvnews
in London on what has been the biggest ten days of my professional career. To be output producer on The Queen's funeral coverage, as well as other special programming leading up to it, will be an experience I won't forget.

Back in London a lot sooner than expected, over again with
@itvnews
for coverage of the Queen's passing and King Charles' ascension to the throne. Deeply unfortunate circumstances but a privilege to help provide coverage for such an important week in history.

Cannot get over Chameleon, a 2005 Slovakian video game, partly set in Belfast, and the locations chosen for the map design. The game was only released in eastern Europe. (cc:

Political nerd query: Was that the only time all represenatives of a political party have been named by Speaker and removed from the Commons at same time? Both members of Alba Party just thrown out of #PMQs
