Oj Simpson has died. 76 years old.

Spent large parts of the first year of my time at Sky News in 1995 watching & reporting on his criminal trial…the glove, microscopic DNA, fibres, hair samples,.. hard to believe this is finally over.

Who remembers these ? Potassium Permanganate! 😂 — never forgot it 😂

Try that in Iran…

Uh oh! What a carry on in our lovely Yarm.

Congratulations to Daily Mail legend, sports writing great, our friend and colleague Jeff Powell, on receiving his MBE for services to journalism dailymail.co.uk/sport/otherspo…

Gotta go into London today.
NO WATCH and a plastic ring!
Congrats, Sadiq Khan ! 👍🏼

Alan Bates hasn't had a job for 20 years - he's dedicated his life since then to campaigning for justice for his friends, the victims of #PostOfficeScandal . Just think about that for a minute - the depth of commitment and personal sacrifice. Shame on Post Office, shame on govt

Exciting to finally get a copy of No Way Out, the third part of my quartet on post-Brexit British politics. Publication day is 25 April. The concluding part is out on 20 June. You can preorder both here lnkfi.re/oCRrDT

Oh. That’s doesn’t fit ‘the narrative’. What’s gone wrong?

Perhaps you’d care to tell us what Walid Daqqa did? Some may think 38 years not enough when you tell them. You call him a writer. I guess you’d also describe Hitler as a painter.

What a morally bankrupt organisation Amnesty International has become. They eulogise the memory of a man who kidnapped 19-year-old Moshe Tamam and held him hostage for 2 days, then gouged out his eyes, castrated him, mutilated his body, and finally shot him in the chest and dumped his body.…

Remember kids, GPs are private contractors. They get paid a salary and have pension contributions from the NHS. They also have practice profits if a partner. And the state also sends them £1751 a week to cover maternity leave. Ain't life grand!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Chairman Paolo Pininfarina, who left us today in Turin at the age of 65. Until his last moments, he was surrounded by his wife Ilaria, his children Greta, Giovanni, Iole, Tullio, and Giulia, his mother Giorgia Gianolio.

All of us at Automobili Pininfarina are deeply saddened by today’s news of the passing of Paolo Pininfarina. Paolo Pininfarina was integral to the creation of Automobili Pininfarina in 2018. It’s a fitting legacy that his name and signature appear on every Battista we build.

But whenever a senior Tory is involved in a financial controversy the first thing Labour does is demand the publication of details of their financial dealings. Angela Rayner even demanded it of Rishi Sunak’s wife.

Eye-opening read on the great GP circus. Seems the local Integrated Care Board pays maternity cover for GPs and if the payment is not enough 'partners have to dip into their own pockets'. Imagine! Private contractors having to pay up like all businesses!
