The @HouseofCommons is now in recess and returns after Easter. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all colleagues and staff for everything you do throughout the year. Thank you! https://t.co/1q4AQkL7xN
I'm sure the whole @HouseofCommons does join in sending our thoughts and prayers about Baroness Boothroyd, whom we all held in very high esteem. E #DPMQs https://t.co/8nfwKBXbVf https://t.co/jCeOYVepkY

By tradition, the Chancellor, unlike Ministers at the despatch box at any other time of the year, may drink alcohol. 🥤 All recent chancellors: water 🥃 Clarke: whisky 🍹 Lawson: spritzer 🍸 Howe: G&T 🥃 Disraeli: brandy & water 🍷 Gladstone: sherry & beaten egg #Budget2023 https://t.co/5zVSYLc45B
😱 The longest continuous Budget speech was by William Gladstone in 1853, lasting 4 hours and 45 minutes ... 🤯 Benjamin Disraeli's speech in 1852 lasted 5 hours but included a break. 👍 In contrast, Disraeli's 1867 speech lasted 45 minutes. #Budget2023 https://t.co/H1lcrNbcfu
