Idea for a program - Handcuff Suella Braverman to Jordan for 24 hours and just see if they get along.
See the Michael Owen docu is getting rave reviews.
As good an excuse as any to bring back one of the greatest tweets of all time.
Greatest country in the world this

Everyone at Doncaster Rovers is saddened to learn about the passing of Kevin Keegan.
From Armthorpe to European Footballer of the Year. A legend.
We send our deepest condolences to all those close to Kevin at this sad time.

Unemployment down
Inflation down
Small boat crossings down
Billions of £ in direct investment secured at G7
Largest year-on-year drop in overall NHS waiting list in 16 years
And this weekend, apparently we're sacking the Prime Minister.

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

“The country is becoming ungovernable...”
The Times's Matthew Syed says constant leadership speculation is making it harder for Prime Ministers to make tough choices.

There's an interesting bit in Louis Theroux's chat with Alan Carr on crisis management.
Carr said: "As soon as you become involved in the conversation, it's over for you."
And there is no finer example of that working in practice than with Labour/ Mandelson vs Farage/ £5mill
Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift
"As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what"
"We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne"
"We didn't receive another reply"
The US is at war with China, not Iran.

This is absolutely insane:
By 2:10 PM ET today, the S&P 500, $SPY, $675 strike calls had fallen to a low of $0.02 per contract, effectively worthless.
Then, at 3:20 PM ET, President Trump said the Iran war is "very complete," sending the S&P 500 soaring.
By 3:30 PM ET, 10 minutes later, these same calls were trading at $4.95 per contract, up +24,650%.
In other words, $1,000 invested in these calls at 2:10 PM ET was worth $247,500 just 80 minutes later.
We are witnessing historic volatility.

CCHQ apparently chipper tonight, I’m told.
As the polls close, they’re “utterly convinced” Susan Hall has won New York City.
Strong health warning but it would be a monumental upset.
"Hobbits in Hertfordshire are getting raped because hard men aren't protecting them from the dangers of the world."

I actually live in a small English village. It’s total codswallop what @elonmusk is saying.
We’re not “hobbits under siege” we’re ordinary people - how rude to patronise us like this.
It’s fear-mongering dressed up as folklore.
