Good to see Starmer maintaining the same clarity right to the end.

Two Guardian headlines. Yesterday: ‘Starmer warns Burnham not to borrow to fund defence as he reveals £15bn plan’. Today: ‘Starmer suggests Andy Burnham borrow billions for defence’.

Oh, really.

Oil prices hit two-week lows on Monday on optimism that the US and Iran were moving closer towards a peace deal even though they remained at odds over key issues, including blockades on the strait of Hormuz that continue to restrict oil supply from the Middle East.

Brent crude futures fell $4.71, or 4.55%, to $98.83 a barrel by 2234 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate was at $92.03 a barrel, down $4.57, or 4.73%.

Both contracts touched their lowest points since 7 May earlier in the session, Reuters is reporting.

Reading Paul Holden’s The Fraud and just read this paragraph.

Mandelson’s involvement in the Hartlepool by-election gave ‘social media critics a perfect opportunity to repeatedly post an infamous picture of Mandelson hanging out with the since-deceased serial abuser Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson was close to Morgan McSweeny…’

Night, Fenny.

Fenny the car, asleep. The cat fur on the sofa isn’t his fault. He’d be the first to point out that it’s ’the other cat’.
