A bit of this, a bit of that, but most of all, let’s keep things just that little bit kinder here.

Who knew that Lush is a British brand. Everything about it suggests USA. And the smell pervading from their stores…

Almost every paper today shows restraint in how it treats the Bondi atrocity. The Daily Mail alone plasters a lurid sex-confession banner above ‘terror at a Jewish festival’. When tragedy becomes just another backdrop for titillation, something has gone badly wrong.

Esther Rantzen helped save countless lives through Childline and decades of campaigning. The bitter irony is that as she faces terminal cancer, she has no legal control over how her own life ends. If anyone has earned dignity and choice, it is her. #r4today

This is insufferable.

Effectively, by sending a letter to Rachel Reeves, the OBR has turned this into a political issue. The OBR is supposed to be non-political. It is very clear what could have motivated them to act in this way, and what they have done is shift attention away from their mistake on Wednesday. #bbcLauraK

Our economy needs more people, so those who are against lifting the two-child benefit cap must therefore, by definition, be pro-immigration…
Because they are, aren’t they? #bbcLauraK

Calling the Tories a bunch of liars is very different from individual insults that border on misogyny. #bbclaurak

Kemi Badenoch seems to be riding a wave right now — purely achieved by being nasty.

Laura Kuenssberg doesn’t want to know about investment.

It’s a total humiliation for Kemi Badenoch that MPs are leaving as she speaks, made worse by the fact that the Deputy Speaker’s intervention has drawn everyone’s attention to it. #budget2026

Huge cock-up by OBR releasing their assessment of the Budget early - before Rachel Reeves has delivered her Budget. #Budget2026

Strictly needs someone to steady the ship — a safe pair of hands, uncontroversial, used to Saturday nights… Gary Lineker’s time has come. #strictly

Also worth noting that Prince Andrew isn’t actually losing his title. He remains Duke of York unless Parliament were to pass an Act to remove it — something that’s never happened in modern times. #R4Today

The only person affected by losing his titles is Andrew, and those around him. As far as the general public is concerned, it will not make a jot of difference. How many people actually referred to him as ‘Duke’? Everyone calls him ‘Prince’ — and that, apparently, is what he will remain. #R4Today

When people talk about “low UK productivity”, what they really mean is “low productivity outside London”. If the rest of the country matched London’s levels, the UK economy would look very different. #R4Today
