    Suella Braverman did not mistakenly leak a meaningless document. She endlessly consulted a maverick. She deliberately emailed a policy doc not yet agreed to her pvt email. Then she sent it to John Hayes and someone she thought was his wife. Then lied to PM about when it was sent

    As a Liverpool fan, I would like to see them take on the Roman Abramovich XI in the league cup final wearing yellow shirts and blue shorts

    I’ve been doing this job for 21 years. I’ve written millions of words about the last six years in which British politics descended into psychodramtic crack dream. Today may be the most batshit day of the lot

    The Liverpool end at Wembley strikes up a chant of "fuck the Tories" and the Chelsea end fights back with a chant of, er, "fuck the Tories". Look away now prime minister

    Politics is a rough trade and Rishi Sunak needed Suella Braverman's support at the weekend, but receiving several 🤮 emojis from MPs that someone sacked as a security threat 6 days ago is now walking back up Downing Street. Hard for Sunak to rabbit on about integrity now

    More unbiased reporting from our German colleagues. I don't know a single British reporter who would tweet something like this
    Everyone in Britain still acts as if this was a normal government. Instead it is a project of deliberate destruction, of laws, of institutions, of anything that stands in the way of a PM who just doesn’t want to be held to account.

    The question mark over Keir Starmer is not competence but whether he can do politics. He has just: 1) Shown he means business on antisemitism 2) Made Boris look indecisive 3) Offloaded a Corbynite 4) Helped the hard left Twittersphere reveal itself as ridiculous Good day’s work

    NEW: Boris Johnson will not attend the funeral of Prince Philip. He was due to but the guest list is limited to 30 people and the PM has stood aside to give more space for family and friends
