A most dignified, diligent, effective public servant. Many would do well to follow the example of James Brokenshire. Sending love to all those who miss him
Five years today since we lost my former boss and lovely, great, loyal and fun friend James Brokenshire. I miss him all the time and his excellent, principled example inspires me every day. I was lucky to know him.

Ongoing chatter about an election has only one consequence- to tell the public that politicians are only interested in talking about themselves. Totally self defeating.
Media commentators need to familiarise themselves with the lascelles principles. The conditions under which a monarch could agree to an early dissolution are simply not met.
Then consider the craziness of going to the polls when there is such a comfortable majority in the House of Commons. Bonkers.
Theresa May was able to call an early election by vote in Parliament as in those days the Fixed Term Parliament Act prevailed. Following its repeal we have reverted to constitutional conventions.
So enough of this election talk. It is boring. It is turning voters right off. They want to see action and debate in the things that matter. They don’t want to be bothered with polls. They expect their politicians to get on with the job
