Chris Patten, the sort of intelligent, morally-driven Tory that was permanently ostracised under the Johnson clownshow, has committed another murder.
He’s so angry he even swears twice.
I could watch this all day.
Absolutely superb, as always. 👏

Thrilled that Miss Morgan's Book Brigade comes out in May 2024. Based on the history of the women who received the Croix de Guerre medal for courage under fire, it's a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of literature, & the courage it takes to make a change.

Brilliant to hear @beckmilligan again- with an extraordinary story. Yes it’s a “dolphin sex scandal” but it’s also about so much more. Beautifully produced by @BlanchardTweets
