The 'Beergate' MP is under pressure from no one beyond a Tory backbench rentaquoter. Bloody MPs, how dare they have relationships?

A Labour MP is under pressure to explain why she lobbied Parliament on behalf of a trade union while in an undeclared relationship with its boss.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Durham MP Mary Foy is in a relationship with militant former fireman Matt Wrack, who led the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) for two decades until January.

So now the register of members' interests should include who the said member is shagging?

Could be interesting for a number of Tories...

Cynthia Payne, anyone?

This is a nice bit of deconstruction work on a typically frothing Mail Labour-bashing headline that turns out to be the fault of…the Tories.

I saw this at a glance and expected it would be something that it actually is. Though classic that its a Conservative policy in place for 11 years.

But Job Done, every "aspirational" person filling up their SUV will have glanced at that headline while waiting to pay.
They will then add this "outrage" to the hundreds of other cases they've seen.

Saw a Mail headline, something about Starmer not committing to support Trump bombing Iran.

Is that really what Mail readers want? I'd guess there were quite a lot of "faraway country" Mailites, who'd rule this out on principle. And that's before you get to all the people who have a wider view of foreign affairs but think that bombing Iran is a bad idea.

Doesn't matter. Whatever he does, he'll be wrong. As ever, who is doing a thing is more important than what's being done.
