Wonder will those who rampaged in the US Capital today be undone by their refusal to wear the masks that might have hidden their identity from the plethora of security cameras?

TV journalists tend to know a little about a lot, but a lot about very little. Allegra Stratton will have to master a lot to be effective at No.10.

Dreadfully sad news about Brian Black. One of the greats at UTV he was a gentle, decent soul.

Why is it seemingly so important to No 10 that Boris is “still in charge.” Wouldn’t it be more reassuring to hear he’s getting the rest he needs?

I fear the Queen’s address is the prelude to a grim week. Thank you NHS staff for your bravery, compassion and professionalism.
