The Green Party is now the third largest in the country and still ticking up. I went canvassing with Zack Polanski and friends in Hove to try and understand what it all means for @TheCriticMag

Quite extraordinary the degree of abuse heaped on @adamparsons for his diligent and accurate reporting of an extremely complicated story. His professionalism (and good humour) is an example to us all.

Arsenal = the old Soviet Moscow Dynamo. Widely loathed by true football fans everywhere (particularly the people’s club Moscow Spurstak) for their over privileged fans and close links to establishment figures they were dismissed as menty (cops) for links to KGB.

The publicity material for this beyond expensive pure gold and collagen face masks says “you will look more handsome”. Not possible but I splashed out anyway. Thanks to everyone at Oscars in Budleigh Salterton.

Radio 3’s playlist policy of “Nothing unless it’s been on the adverts” continues with a hour long programme on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. I’ve bought a Mercedes GLC400 off the back of it @_paullay

EXC: Ministers have unpicked our electricity system … but can they now sort it fast enough? We hear a lot from this government about the race for renewables because of Russia and the Middle East. But it’s hit a pretty big snag Important film by @JoeCookJ - part of our series on why Britain needs a functioning political system if it's to fix its problems

The latest genius selected to cut my hair is Burhan from Sulaymaniyah who works at Aroma barbers in Doncaster. As you can see the end result is fantastic. Well done Burhan!

Peter Mandelson’s firm, Global Counsel, worked on behalf of a Chinese state entity linked to the country’s military and security establishment to undermine British scrutiny of a CCP-led corporate coup within Imagination Technologies, the UK’s second biggest microchip company. Afterwards, Imagination’s technology and core assets were transferred to two Chinese companies, one part-owned by the Russian government. Imagination’s “military grade” technology is in roughly 25% of smartphones and 40% of modern cars. ANY COMPETENT VETTING would have raised this as a red flag. Journalists - REPORT IT! #mandelson #starmer #petermandelson #globalcounsel #ccp
Nearly 18 months ago, UK-China Transparency exposed the role of Peter Mandelson's lobbying firm in the security scandal about Imagination Technologies, the UK's second-biggest semiconductor company, which was bought by the Chinese government. TODAY, we are releasing more detail
