First newspaper you work on is forever special for a journalist and mine was the Western Morning News in Plymouth. Thrilled four decades later to put up this drawing by a colleague at the time of the elegant office in New George Street.

The lawless global Hard and Far Right will doubtless pretend Marine Le Pen's sentence is the worst scandal since the Dreyfus Affair, ironically a scandal they would've applauded at the time. Let's hope she fails to twist this the way Trump exploited legal action www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

You end in the grotesque chaos of a Labour Chancellor - a Labour Chancellor - hiring officials to scuttle around a country handing out poverty to its own sick and disabled. A nod to Neil Kinncok when there is a Militant Moderate in the Treasury. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Inflation dipping -0.2% to +2.8% is a momentary relief for Rachel Reeves BUT average earnings are going up by more than prices - 5.9% the last ONS figure - so workers overall are getting better off even if they don't yet feel it after the record long pay squeeze under the Cons.

Fair play when Newcastle were the better team and deserved that 2-1 League Cup win against Liverpool. Sunderland fans like me will just have to suck it up.

Newcastle friends for 52 years have put up with me harking back to Sunderland’s sensational 1973 FA Cup win. Should the Barcodes beat Liverpool tomorrow to lift the League Cup I shall console myself that I’ll likely be dead before they enjoy 52 years of carping.

Manchester United's new ground will no more be a "Wembley of the North" than Wembley is the Old Trafford of the South. Smacks of multi-billionaire tax haven part-owner Jim Ratcliffe, a Brextremist who collected a knighthood then moved to Monaco, to extract taxpayers' cash.

Unfortunate of Starmer to speak of a "coalition of the willing" to back Ukraine. George W Bush called for a "coalition of the willing" to invade Iraq disastrously in 2003.

Starmer immorally imposing a £6bn aid cut on the globe's poorest, hungriest and sickest to waste extra on a profligate and inefficient MoD isn't going to make Britain or the world safer. Far from it. And brace for more Channel small boat crossings.
