On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.

It's completely ridiculous. Pre-budget everyone thought the headroom gap was £20-30bn including policy changes (e.g. on welfare). It was in fact £16bn.

It's hardly a massive difference.
I’m quite enjoying the 180 turn on a six pence from “you’ve wrecked the economy and created a black hole” to “there was no black hole and this is even worse”.

Also it's a story either way - whatever impact it has on voters. Not up to reporters to worry about the political ramifications of news.

I want Ange back

Also Rayner

COYS
After describing Rayner as “the best social mobility story this country has ever seen,” Starmer was asked if he missed his former deputy and said:

Yes, of course I do. I was really sad that we lost her.

Pressed as to whether she will be back in the Cabinet, he added: “Yes. She’s hugely talented.”

Wearing my SPURS sweatshirt today. The guys won on my birthday yesterday & I share my birthday with my (now) 91-year-old uncle. Nice going guys. Appreciate it

My uncle said he thought he would never see Spurs win another trophy

So thank you Mr Postecoglou. You're a good bloke

Zack Polanski is not his real name. He 's a hypnotist promising to enlarge womens' breasts. He left the LibDems when they didn't give him a London seat. He wants the Greens to be no longer Green but Corbynite left. He sells easy answers to hard decisions.

He is a snake oil salesman

Obviously my family got this wrong because I was taught as a child that to be forgiven you need to be sorry and apologise first. Not, for instance, hold a press conference and bang on about Bernard Manning.
That loud clanging noise you can hear is public-school ranks closing.
This immediately makes me wonder what Rory was like as a teenager…

I'd just like to put it out there that REGARDLESS of the hour, I will be watching ALL of Scotland's games in World Cup 2026

I am glad I am in my 60s because, instead of fighting climate change, some of the worlds most powerful leaders appear to have entered a race with it, to see who can destroy mankind first. The future is looking increasingly dim by the day 🙁

It is somewhat disquieting that the major governing body for football turns out to be the lickspittles of Trump, but - as a boxing fan - I am used to feckless, useless, kow-towing sports regulators

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣
