Appalling news. A Camden anecdote: David Amess twice unexpectedly beat longstanding Camden cllr Julian Fulbrook in Basildon. Julian told me once that after the 83 declaration Amess more or less apologised to him for having beaten him, the highly fancied London lawyer
Very sad to hear. May he rest in peace. One regular image in my mind is Eric standing, hovering at the back of the council chamber, trying to spot what was really going on.
Our sympathies are with the family, friends & everyone who knew & worked with Eric Gordon, founding editor of @NewJournal, who died yesterday.
Eric built a newspaper covering every inch of Camden - and its influence goes much further. It is an integral part of Camden's identity.
Well the @FT better increase its coverage of private credit << Nest plans bold expansion into private markets via @FT

Johnson had better come up with some better lines on Scotland than he managed on #Marr today
What nonsense. Serious historians can’t judge what attitude Thatcher would have taken to Brexit, as her sympathetic biographer Charles Moore agrees. We do know she backed a meaningful increase in QMV in the EU to make the Single Market a reality. – at Harwich, England
A particularly bonkers @SteveBakerHW tweet. A State Dept investigation found that Ambassador Johnson had made inappropriate or insensitive comments to embassy staff. – at Harwich, England
Well said Stephen. We should always describe it as the hard Brexit deal. Am worried that some see more of a compromise here than is the case.
The claim by @BorisJohnson that there are "no new non tariff barriers to trade" in the EU Agreement is jaw dropping. The whole purpose of 2000 pages is to create barriers that do not exist today.
Four and a half years to plan and it’s a shambles. The Johnson govt, the @Conservatives and Brexiteers generally are to blame for this. – at Harwich, England
Nice to see a fleeting shot of a young @John_Mills_JML, the former @CamdenLabour councillor, in the second episode of Marr’s New Elizabethans on BBC. Those 1975 sideburns! – at Harwich, England

If Mr Johnson fails to reach an acceptable trade agreement with the EU the Prime Minister will also have failed the people of the United Kingdom. As a lifelong member of the Conservative Party, I believe that Mr Johnson's position as Prime Minister would be untenable. 1/2
.@CDU first leadership debate tonight. Three serious, able candidates - all with experience and judgement that would leave most of the current UK cabinet in the shade
Wer wird @CDU-Parteivorsitzender? Erste Kandidatenrunde mit @ArminLaschet, @_FriedrichMerz und @n_roettgen. pscp.tv/w/cqZMCjQ0ODAzMzJ8MW…
London Tory mayoral candidate @ShaunBaileyUK seems keen to talk about many global issues, which is fine, but curiously reticent to talk about #Brexit – at London, England
London is a global city with global responsibilities.
So on #HumanRightsDay, let’s stand with persecuted Uighur Muslims and Hong Kong citizens. Let’s detwin London from Beijing and send a message to the world: London will always stand up for human rights.
How delightful to see Peter Symonds, stalwart of South Hampstead CRASH residents assn, playing a cameo of Hardy Amies in episode 8, season 4 of @TheCrownNetflix m.imdb.com/name/nm0843366/?r…

Turning off Twitter until tmrw. Very rare I’m ashamed of the Conservative Party but I am tonight. The PM fiddling with his phone on the frontbench, ignoring parliamentary scrutiny. And Tory MPs queuing up to endorse a Bill they know breaks international law. What next Dom?
He had expressed himself maybe unfortunately, but as a liberal @LibDems I’m not keen on too much pressure for loyalty tests. Free speech!
Rather agreed with this @going4golds
