“This is a problem for those who think Brexit has gone badly – comfortably a majority opinion, according to polls.

Labour has said it is “deeply concerning” that Rishi Sunak refused to rule out cutting the NHS or pensions, or putting up taxes, to fund his £46bn long-term plan to abolish national insurance.

Anyone shopping needs to look around at prices. The difference between Argos and Singer direct is huge.

Hearing rumours that a GE may be called in late June to coincide with Glastonbury week. Potentially, 300,000, mainly young voters, might not get to vote. Another Tory ploy?

'Mary Beard was vetoed as a trustee of the British Museum. It's hard to think of anyone better qualified – but she'd expressed pro-EU views in public.'

Remember when Bannon appeared on the news rounds?
