Harry is back in the UK on GCSE results day. I'm thinking that he must hold the record for resitting. Why is nobody putting this spin on the story? One to look into.

.@rickygervais I know David Brent was not meant to be a leadership manual. Somewhere along the way over two decades on, satire has became the political playbook. My latest for @CityAM column tinyurl.com/yjxu8sdv

David Brent was supposed to be a satire, now he looks like a model for political leaders

Attention-seeking, self-absorbed and desperate to be liked, David Brent was meant to embody everything a leader should not be - but today's media landscape rewards the very qualities Ricky Gervais...

ANDREW NEIL: Why I fear Burnham's as ignorant as Starmer on economics

British politics will reach a new reductio ad absurdum in the Makerfield by election: Vote Labour to destroy the sitting Labour Prime Minister. Support Labour PM Starmer but NOT voting Labour. We are having a by-election not because there’s any demand or need in the national interest but entirely to suit the convenience of the byzantine politics of the ruling party and the political pygmies in whose interest it is run. We are no longer a serious nation. No wonder the bond markets are squiffy.
