I'm guilty of labelling too many articles as 'must reads', but I urge everyone to read this challenging piece and consider making a donation to Marie Curie. Anand Menon has brought energy and positivity to politics over the past 7 years and I'm sorry 2020 was so tough for him
But a quick thought on Boris Johnson...
Has any peacetime Prime Minister faced such a tough first 18 months?

I was really sad when I heard yesterday that Stuart Wheeler had passed away. He was one of the most instrumental people in my career and became a good personal friend.
It began with his support for TaxPayers' Alliance in its early days. 1/10

I’m delighted that the Metropolitan Police have confirmed they won’t be acting on the allegations made against Darren Grimes and Alan Halsall by the Electoral Commission. This proves that the wild allegations made against Darren Grimes & Vote Leave since 2016 are completely baseless. (1/4)
In The Sun today, I return to my old TaxPayers' Alliance stomping ground of tax and spend to discuss the forthcoming Budget. 'In our first Budget as a newly born, independent nation, Boris must give all Brits a much-needed boost.' #Budget2020 TaxPayers' Alliance
