An hour and a half into this and it probably speaks volumes that the opposition benches remain packed while Labour's MPs have left Starmer to deal with it on his own.

Hardly anything has happened at the site yet. They need to let it fall over on its own before saying that, I think.

Great how your phone gives you memories.

It's two years to the day since Rachel Reeves told me if Labour won the general election they would send the National Audit Office in to investigate the Teesworks saga.

The authority responsible hasn't published audited accounts since then, yet nothing.

No idea how expensive the highest priced were, but a crypto millionaire paid to sit at the commentary desk for a match last night.

There's a lot of smoke and mirrors about Teesworks, but in its essence, here it is...

ยฃ550m of government spending.

ยฃ120m of that goes into the bank accounts of two men WHO DID NOT SPEND A SINGLE PENNY.

They took on no liabilities, either.

Migrants are making false domestic abuse allegations to stay in the UK, BBC investigation finds In the third part of an undercover investigation, the BBC reveals how rules aimed at protecting abuse victims are being exploited.

Alternative headline:

Vulnerable people exploited by profiteering fraudsters who stand to make millions by posing as legal advisors.

As I wrote in 'Anywhere But Here', these advice sharks have networks as entrenched as smugglers. Nothing is being done to stop them.

There are 163 grammar schools in England out of around 3,500 in total secondary schools.

Absolutely insane anachronism (he types from a location where his own children are in a three-school system).
