This is all going according to plan. England limp through to the quarter finals but with no feelgood factor to help the Tories. Then after the election Southgate gets them playing brilliantly and they win the tournament and a Labour Prime Minister welcomes them back with the cup

At #PMQs today, Rishi Sunak said taxes are “being cut by £900 for the average worker”. This figure refers specifically to savings from recently announced reductions to National Insurance contributions. It doesn’t factor in the impact of ongoing tax threshold freezes. (1/3)

Word of the day is ‘matter’, which began with the Latin ‘mater’, ‘mother’, because it is a substance from which we are made. (Should those of us lucky enough to be writing a Mother’s Day card need an alternative word for ‘mother’, there is always ‘genetrix’.)

Waiting for the penny to drop for the idiots claiming Mary Earps winning SPOTY is part of a woke agenda. It was a free public vote. You're particular brand of piss boiling misogyny isn't as popular as your social media echo chamber would have you believe. So kindly...

Some questions @bbclaurak could ask Michelle Mone:

This painting by Edwin Van Kuyp (1617-1672) hangs in the National Gallery. It's a psychological study, depicting the howling, serpentine rage of the prosperous when their will is thwarted. It was considered to be a rebuke to Amsterdam's mercantile classes bridling at tax reforms.
