Harry Kane’s words to his family, One of the most beautiful #BallonDor speeches ever: 🤍
All those years, the sacrifice, taking me to training, coming to watch me play all around England... There was never any pressure to become a footballer. It was always about working hard.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Simon Heffer’s final pars in his review of Liz Truss’ new book.
Of all the best examples of the Westminster unreality machine, where parts of the illiberal metropolitan elite and press build someone up clearly beyond their abilities, she was by far the worst. Zero accountability, of course.

Can we think of a modern war leader more successful than Zelensky? One who has fought off an invasion for nearly five years? The man is a phenomenon.

As Brexit returns to the spotlight, I wanted to share my thoughts on the UK's future relationship with Europe.
Brexit has been a disaster for businesses of all sizes, including for many in Wimbledon. We must begin the difficult work of rebuilding with our nearest trading partner.

💥Andy Burnham confirms my scoop this morning that he will push ahead with plans for electoral reform - kicking off a process that could eventually lead to ditching the first-past-the-post system in favour of proportional representation.
The PM, a long standing supporter of electoral reform, says he wants a system in which “everyone’s views count and everyone’s vote matters”.

I'm often very critical of leaders' speeches at coconferences. But that was superb by Burnham - full of ideas & policy, inspirational & very emotional, honest & risky. Bold on social care, electoral reform & EU. Yet hard to see sums adding up. Memorable & maybe historic.
