Jeffrey Archer, who I knew and really liked, made up huge swaths of his academic life and achievements. Even styled out his prison era. He is being now portrayed as an endearing rascal. Except. Wasn't there a fantasist recently who was hounded to the grave for just such lies?

Wednesday marks 10 years to the day since Cameron resigned to let Brexit usher in a new era of stable self governance. Since then we've burned through: 5 more prime ministers 8 chancellors 8 home secretaries 9 foreign secretaries 10 education secretaries 10 defence secretaries Masterful work.

Belfast knife suspect won asylum in Britain under 'fast-track' scheme introduced by UK Tory govt. Then home secretary Suella Braverman and immigration minister Robert Jenrick – who have both since defected to Reform - oversaw the introduction of the scheme. They have a few questions to answer.

Today’s poem is called ‘The Power of a Homophone’.
The Power of a Homophone
 
“Sometimes the power
of a homophone
will just come out of nowhere
and hit you –
like being struck
by a ten ton truck,”
articulated Laurie.
