The go to Opposition spokesman after Sky News coverage of Burnham's speech was.......Nigel Farage. Why?

The next General Election could easily be in mid 2028. Four years is the normal duration. That's only 20 months away.

Ed Davey has had a terrible few weeks. He's not a politician of substance but a lightweight carping on the margins. Bit sad, really.

I escaped fairly lightly but my best mate, who's in his 70s, gets greeted with a "Who's this daft c*nt" or similar every time his visits his dementia suffering father in his tenth year in social care. It is an appalling and depressing experience for everyone involved.

A foreign actor IS involved in the Fairford incident. His name is Donald J Trump. Without his Olympic level f*ckwittery, diesel wouldn't be nearly so attractive to steal.

A comprehensive social care system, electoral reform and a much closer relationship to the EU float my particular boat.

It's my wife's birthday today. She was born in a small, long closed, maternity hospital. David Coverdale and Tony Mowbray are two others born there. Three fine Teessiders.

Trump clearly saw the Fairford story developing and decided to fabricate a story with him at the centre. That's worrying enough, but watching politicians on both sides of the Atlantic indulge his fantasy is even even worse.

Suella Braverman suggesting schoolchildren should be punished if they don't sing Christian hymns properly has clearly never attended a secondary school assembly. In my experience, many Year 9, 10, 11 boys should be punished if they DO sing. Like a fire in a pet shop, the cacophony is unbearable.

Lewis and Stringer have at least one thing in common - both are Olympic level whingers. #C4News

Why is it folk with humanities, English and arts degrees have no hesitation in opining about science? I have a maths degree and keep to myself that I know jack shit about Pushkin's use of symbolism.

No-one takes advice or notice of a confused passenger on a night bus. So why do folk take seriously the verbal dribblings of Donald Trump. Trump's face is making sounds like the dog on That's Life that said sausages.

Poor old Nigel Farage, he must be disappointed. The Fairford suspects didn't arrive by boats but a white van on the M4.

Unlike Reform or the Tories, the delegates at the Labour conference overwhelmingly look like normal people.

Idea for travel show. "Nigel Speculates" Nigel Farage travels around the country offering alternative explanations for historical events - eg The Battle of Hastings was about Muslims, Bosworth Field was about Muslims, The Wars of the Roses was about Muslims....

Listening to Trump talking about his role in the RAF Fairford incident is making me grateful my late mother's confabulation was limited to her being convinced actor Tony Robinson worked in the same office at the local power station.

A reminder of an elderly neighbour when we moved to our current house in 1985. She had worked at a local plush hotel* for over 40 years. The Beatles, Paul Robeson and Laurel and Hardy, David Frost were all lovely thoughtful guests. (Alan Whicker wasn't) *The Grinkle Park, North Yorkshire

Nigel Farage's natural environment is the bar in a Home Counties golf club where he can speculate, smear, spew racism and offer half arsed evidence free opinions on the issues of the day.

Hell hath no fury like a person on £400,000 a year facing the prospect of paying a bit more tax that they can easily afford.

Literally, my only interest in international football is hoping the players of #lufc return injury free.

The three enormous Union flags that have been flying for months on the lampposts on a nearby roundabout have been cut in half vertically recently. Is this a sign of something?

The best interviewers are prepared, polite and persistent. Mishal Husain, Brian Walden and Nick Clarke are examples, #bbcLauraK ain't.

The Pet Shop Boys have written some wonderful songs but none surpass Being Boring. A masterpiece of pop music, IMHO.

The way sources are attributed in this article is an absolute masterclass in Westminster code/speak. "one cabinet minister" "Another minister" "one MP" "one senior figure" "a minister" "an insider" "One influential figure" "One prominent figure" "one senior figure" "A senior source" One minister"

How long can Labour's feel-good factor last?

The party’s spirits have been transformed since Burnham became PM, but what's coming down the tracks, asks Laura Kuenssberg.

I'm 70UP next month. I'm unconsciously putting off watching the final programmes as my own way of raging against the dying of the light. Can't handle the finality.

Returning home after a short holiday. I don't half miss the majestic sight of Ferrybridge Power Station going at full pelt while we journey north on the A1. Where the North starts, IMHO.

Four well researched articulate pundits clearly describing games mercifully banter free on Sky Sports Saturday could catch on.

Rhodri is a wonderful footballer but his views on the shenanigans at Man City are as relevant as a Stuka pilot's views on who was responsible for the Final Solution.

Gerry and the Pacemakers on #SoundsOfthe60s. An old work mate was taught to drive by Gerry's brother, Fred. Stay tuned for more celebrity gossip.

BBC reports Rhodri believes Manchester City are innocent of all the charges. That's me convinced. #mcfc

Manchester City's punishment should include playing their games at Maine Road and demanding their players park their cars near the ground on match day. #mcfc

Wonder if Willie Donachie, Alan Oakes and Joe Corrighan are still available? Man City might need them. #mcfc

Daily Mail reports that the number of migrants reaching the UK this year is greater than members of the British Army. Will this measure join Olympic sized swimming pools, the area of Wales, number of London buses as comparisons for folk to understand?

Guinness Book of Records has just confirmed yesterday's White House State Dinner broke the existing World Record for the number of loathsome people in one room at the same time.

The Trumps are evidence that beauty isn't about your physical appearance but what you exude from within. The ugliest family on the planet.

Happiness! Happiness! The greatest gift that I possess. I thank the Lord That I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness.

Sadly for Melania, her attempt at escaping the West Wing by tying bed sheets together and leaving from a first floor window was unsuccessful.

It's no surprise the Reform poll numbers are tanking. A collection of racists, thugs and gobshites with little ability or work ethic making a pig's ear of running local councils led by a charmless thin skinned grifter isn't a winning combination.
