Unique sponsorship opportunity! I am taking part in @RideLondon Essex (100 miles) this weekend, in aid of @JDRF who research into Type 1 diabetes and provide brilliant support, especially for young people. justgiving.com/page/graham-c…

Safe to say that I wouldn't leave my children for even half an hour in the care of any of those I've seen giving speeches at the national conservatism conference, they seem unhinged and frankly not intellectually challenging enough for my kids.

Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?

Big shout out to all those Tory MPs who had to pretend they really liked football for 72 hours. Enjoy returning to the sports of Rugby Union, Shooting, and servant bashing

Roger Bolton(former BBC editor) - "Who's been missing in action this weekend... the BBC Chairman, Richard Sharp... he's silent because of his own impartiality... so he couldn't do his job at a crucial moment... he should resign"

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

#WildIsles superb and well worth the hype. Love their patience. Well done BBC!! Attenborough close to breaching impartiality rules by suggesting climate change was real and the earth is not flat, which might provoke a backlash from the Tory right. But definitely worth the risk.

Jeremy Clarkson called for striking workers to be shot in front of their families. Continued to present Top Gear for 5 years. Gary Lineker criticises government proposals on refugees. Taken off air after 3 days.

BBC Director-General Tim Davie says we should be "calmly, rationally fighting for a BBC that actually champions free speech", a day after he suspended Gary Lineker for criticising the government. This man has lost all credibility in his role. He has to go.

Shame to hear a journalist @matthewsyed not supporting freedom of speech re @GaryLineker. I was brought up to believe it was fundamental that every journalist should believe in that. But it seems freedom of speech for some, not all.

Does anyone else remember when we all had this unbelievably special position?
Rishi Sunak - "Northern Ireland is in the unbelievably special position... in the entire world... in having privileged access to the UK home market... but also the European Union single market... nobody else has that... only you guys" in Northern Ireland. 🤦
