The confected outrage over Angela Rayner's new property is nothing but snobbery. Absolutely. Rich woman invests in property is not a story. It’s a success, very normal.

The coverage of this most working-class of politicians consistently reeks of class prejudice

GCSE. Well done to all students, parents and teachers.Exams? the fairer system we have for assessment. On a personal level I am delighted for my mate’s son Bertie, whose achievement in English is a triumph. To get grade 4 in spite of ADHD and dyslexia (statemented) is magnificent.

For the avoidance of doubt, I favour two regions. We must rationalise. I was at Wales v England 14-68 and wept. Hurt and anger? Short memories some. If we don’t reorganise, we are done. I welcome the proposals and the consultation.

Looks as if the time has come for Plaid. I can’t see Reform being able to sustain momentum to form a government and they have few friends. I do see The Greens taking a block of seats. Labour is in freefall. What does mean for Wales? Seriously, fuck knows.

@andrewrawnsley sees the future for centrist Labour and it’s very bleak. Corbyn and Sultana are capturing the anger and demoralisation of the Left, as Farage has done on the Right. Two Barbarian hordes at Starmer’s gate. It’s beyond scary now.

With a new left party launching, the danger now is that disillusioned voters hand more to rivals from both flanks

“On a night of filthy weather in Sydney and disruption on and off the field, the British & Irish Lions fell well short of their pursuit of a clean sweep of the Test series in Australia.”. This is a superb summary by Hugh Godwin of the ipaper.

Jamie Overton is having a very bad test return: no wicket on a bowling pitch and out for a duck, reducing his average from 97 to 48.5. 😂.

I can’t relate to this paean of praise for the two pundits on Sky coverage of Lions tour. Biggar talks far too much and O’Gara mumbles. Miles Harrison is the only commentary star for me. Dan Biggar and Ronan O’Gara make a dream rugby double act

The Sky Sports duo tell Hugh Godwin about what makes their unlikely partnership tick – and why they hope this British & Irish Lions tour can be the start of something

It’s a shame MS has turned so dogmatic. This recommendation is insane. The UK is far from irrelevant. Trade, culture, higher education and soft power all count.
“If I was Starmer, I would focus 99.9% of my attention on trying to rescue the UK from its decline, which Labour is completely failing to do.”. @MatthewSyed says the UK is becoming "completely irrelevant". @Edwina_Currie | @CalumAM | @RosieWright99

“Told that there’s been a gas leak in the building, Nigel Farage is the guy who fires up a cigarette. There’s no situation so combustible that he can’t contrive to try to make it more frightening.” @andrewrawnsley with his incomparable journalism. Genius.
Seriously?.
