🔥 A new Left-Right scale of MPs has been published. All MPs are mapped... the most left wing being Nadia Whittome and the most right wing being Suella Braverman. This was all based on a new approach by Royal Holloway & Survation -- using 1,000 councillors to answer pair-wise comparisons of MPs.

I was delighted to join @samaritans in Parliament earlier this week to mark #BrewMonday - Samaritans' takeover of "Blue Monday". The truth is, people can struggle on any day of the year, and I pledge to work to ensure support is always available.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

Yes, to suspire is to utter a deep sigh. It’s all about breath, as are ‘inspire’ (to breathe life into an idea/person), ‘expire’ (breathe out), ‘perspire’ (to breathe through), ‘conspire’ (to breathe together), and ‘spirit’, because the ancients believed the spirit was breathed into the body.

Word of the day is ‘catchfart’, from the 17th century, used of a servant who followed their master or mistress a little too closely. In today’s terms, a catchfart is someone who fawns upon the boss or who follows the political wind.
