Good luck to everyone getting their A levels today and remember, if you don’t get the grades you’d hoped for, all is not lost. For example, Prince Edward got a C and 2 Ds and was immediately accepted by Cambridge University.

Farage's by-election stunt wasted enough public money to pay for free dental care for every child in his constituency. Does he care? No. He just wanted to avoid legitimate parliamentary scrutiny of his dodgy bungs. Which he won't. It'll start again immediately. What a cock.

How far back does “indigenous” go - does it exclude the royal family, anyone of Norman or Viking descent, famous scientists, scholars, artists and athletes descended from refugees or immigrants, immigrants from the former “colonies - or just, basically, anyone not “pureblood white?

Farage claims his phone was hacked by Russia and that this highlights the “threat they pose to British security”. Which is odd because 7yrs ago he had the chance to strengthen laws against Russian interference but he voted against it, saying the claims were “baseless” The man is never, ever right.

Nigel Farage really is a one trick pony. His divisive and inflammatory comments about immigration is all he has. Is it any wonder he won’t want you to know that net migration has fallen by 82% since its peak under the conservatives. LETS MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOW THE REAL FACTS

In case you missed it ... Farage's racist admiration for Hitler and the Nazis never went away. The proof of that can be seen here, in his infamous "Breaking Point" poster, which was directly inspired by a Nazi propaganda film he must have watched. #FarageOut

Samsung family in South Korea pays off record $8bn inheritance tax bill. IHT rate is 50%. The family said that "paying taxes is a natural duty of citizens". It establishes a benchmark for others. Can you imagine the super-rich doing the same in the UK?

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped. Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.
