I haven’t blogged in ages. All the action’s over on Twitter these days [although I think Tom’s the main tweeter through our account, for clarity], as this quick post perhaps shows.
The RMT’s calling yet another strike. Boris has tweeted:

“BORIS Johnson was accused of “betrayal” today as it was revealed he has ditched plans for three rape crisis centres…
