@RossFootball @ggkane He wrote several books while an MP (though not while serving as a Minister). Parliamentary & esp constituency pressures make that more difficult now even for backbenchers but some still manage it: @KwasiKwarteng @CSkidmoreUK @RhonddaBryant @Jesse_Norman
Advice given to me more than 30 years ago by then Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd & a reminder that there is much more to life than even the most frenetic day job. https://t.co/s6UYv0IPW4
Always good to be back, even if just virtually, with @VauxhallTories. I learned so much as their candidate in 1987 both about campaigning & about importance of @Conservatives reaching out to & working for ppl of all backgrounds, faiths & ethnicities https://t.co/sA20Nztjzo
@Marthakearney @friarsaylesbury Have you been back to see the #Bowie statue? https://t.co/ytogrsrPRv

V interesting insights in this @politico piece into how vaccine contracts were negotiated in both UK & EU https://t.co/dpeEGCyfwS
I penned a few initial thoughts on #IntegratedReview https://t.co/0fk5NozQn0
@alexevansuk @David_McNair @pmdfoster Even at 0.5% it's still, I think, biggest bilat aid budget in Europe...but agree should've stayed at 0.7% (& of course Covid recession means 0.7 = less cash anyway). But I don't think that v regrettable decision (that I'd want reversed asap) undermines overall analysis of IR
Very encouraged by today's #IntegratedReview of UK security: sharp analysis of the threats facing us & other open societies and ambitious strategy to meet them
I may not have agreed with @andrealeadsom on every single political issue but on this I'm with her 100% https://t.co/r39UhZoFjM
