This is astonishing. The MP who made the complaint to police about wrongdoing by @AngelaRayner won’t or can’t say what she’s alleged to have done wrong. It’s not sub judice; as far as we know no charges are imminent. So why not just say. Bit weasely, no?

To the producer/production team of tonight’s #PlatinumPartyatthePalace one word WOW. Just incredible live show: brilliant camera shots, flawless sound, stunning light show and amazing choreography, seamlessly getting one act off and another on. 👏👏👏👏

This is an astonishing clip. Kudos to Nick Ferrari, but how utterly humiliating to be a minister of the crowd and feel the need to parrot such nonsense. It’s like a parody. To coin a phrase, it’s wrong

Just listened to the PM and Mark Harper - both saying Lee Anderson’s comments were ‘wrong’ and whip withdrawn for not apologising. They refuse to say that he was racist or Islamophobic. So my question is this: What exactly do they want Lee Anderson to apologise for? Bewildering

With the 13k police on duty, wasn’t there a way of allowing a small protest by people who don’t support the monarchy without need for arrests? I mean, really…?

The head of the UK’s republican group has already been arrested by police this morning while collecting drinks and placards for demonstrators. There has been serious debate about the power afforded to police to prevent disruption of today’s coronation.

This is becoming an object lesson in how to turn something completely minor - a motoring offence - into something potentially career ending - lying about it, and then seeking to get a one-on-one speed awareness course. How stupid

The four times Suella Braverman's aide denied speeding claims - transcript

A transcript shows that the Home Secretary's special adviser insisted it was "nonsense" that she'd been done for speeding when contacted by the Mirror six weeks ago
