    There are lots of fears about AI etc, but it can also be a force for good. Pleased to be associated with CERA, a new company pioneering an innovative tech-enabled approach to social care.

    Innovation at a local level is the best way to tackle social mobility in this country. That’s why the Chancellor should use his Spring Statement to ease financial constraints on local authorities & let them act creatively. My article:

    I’m delighted to become chairman of . Social mobility is a cause that has been close to my heart for many years. I very much look forward to leading SMF in its next stage of development, helping thousands of young people around the country.

    PM’s speech is a bit like someone who used to say they wanted to move out of their home to a shiny new one, but end up moving into the attic of the house they lived in all along. Except this time they still pay for the bills while following the rules set by others.

    John Major is absolutely right. It's high time that Parliament, and not a hard Brexit clique, spoke for our country.

    So the Brexiteers are now blaming the EU for a problem of the government's own creation. Remember: a hard Brexit creates a new hard land border with the EU which never existed before. Hard Brexiteers are the architects of a hard border, no-one else.

    So Customs Union is not the full answer to Irish border issue. That's why Corbyn needs to go one step further re Single Market. 2/2

    Up to 17km queues and 30 hour waits at the Turkish/Bulgarian (EU) border show that a Customs Union only gets you so far. Customs Union without Single Market, just as Single Market without Customs Union (see checks at the Norway/Sweden border), leads to delays and queues. 1/2

    The government’s basket-based Brexit strategy is both unworkable and profoundly un-Conservative. My latest column:

    Heartbreaking to see Alfie Dingley denied life-changing medicine. Instead of sticking to outdated rules, the Home Secretary could table a simple change to the law to allow doctors to decide when to prescribe cannabis.

    Hectoring foreigners about the ills of rigid ideology while pursuing an ideologically rigid Brexit won’t help either.

    Question for PM: Denmark voted to leave Europol in Dec ’15, since then negotiated v limited access to its data based on full membership of EU, Schengen, and the ECJ. We’re leaving all of the above. On what planet are we going to get better access to Europol than Denmark?

    So the Daily Mail asks if I'm the "the most preposterous hypocrite alive today?" Remember this, outside Darth Dacre's vast estate...?

    The economic arguments for staying in the EU become clearer by the day, but we need to win the argument for heads AND hearts. You can be a proud British patriot and a passionate pro-European at the same time - they are not mutually exclusive.

    Jeremy Corbyn should listen to David Miliband. How on earth can the Labour Party support a "hard right definition of Brexit"?

    So Dominic Cummings, Darth Dacre, and the last Conservative manifesto all seem to have got it wrong on free school meals. That bodes well for Brexit then...
