We traveled to a Cambodian city overrun by Chinese mafia and casinos to meet colourful individuals and do some filming. It certainly wasn't the first time I'd been Sihanoukville but it might be the last. My latest with @ajachina2 for @AJ101East. aje.io/casino

1) No, the first female MP elected to Parliament was the Irish socialist Constance Markievicz. 2) Nancy Astor was an antisemite and a fanatical anti-Catholic bigot.
100 years ago today, the first female MP, Nancy Astor, was elected to Parlt. The female @Conservatives candidates standing in this election are exceptional & I look forward to working with them in Parlt to achieve further progress on gender equality across our society.

A short thread. In a civilized society, the BBC Spotlight documentary on the secret history of the Troubles would be primetime viewing, with such important journalism mentioned on the 9 o'clock news. Instead people watched football and the Bake Off. I cried tonight.

Brace for mega thread on "ALL THEM RULES INNIT" There is a type of of brexiter who is motivated not by xenophobia, or Empire nostalgia, or buccaneering trade fantasies, but instead by "all them EU rules". Sadly they can never name a single one. So I have done some research...

Missing some of our cast here, but it was a blast getting back together with John and Steve for the 20th Anniversary of #TheBigLebowski.

Long, but compelling thread about what ‘leaving without a deal’ will really mean. Be afraid, be very afraid. As he says, life as we know it will change overnight. Thanks Edwin. @peoplesvote_uk

Cambodia's leader has spent the past 32 years consolidating power in his own hands. Now he's trying to convince people he's the reincarnation of a 16th-century king destined to rule. My story: nytimes.com/2017/12/06/world…
