Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

Nigel Farage has previously called global warming “a scam” - take a look around you: the parched fields, the dried river banks, the suffocating heat. The climate crisis is real and the use of it as a new culture war issue by the radical right is both toxic and dangerous.

Farage won. And lost. And didn't even turn up, having told the press the police had warned him of a "credible threat". The police denied saying this. His credible threat has no credibility. Which is apt. The inquiry starts again today.

Silhouette of Big Ben and surrounding London skyline at sunset, with a bright sun glowing behind the clock tower and casting a warm orange glow across the sky. Below, on an orange background, bold black text reads: “Get heat-ready, London.” Smaller text reads: “Heat Ready London will protect Londoners from hotter temperatures and help us build a more resilient city.” The Mayor of London logo appears in the bottom right corner.
