Look, says Chris Philp: 76% of social housing in an immigrant-heavy London neighbourhood is foreign-born!

What he doesn't say: the whole neighbourhood is 78% foreign-born. Private renters: 92%.

Also: 81% of those social tenants already hold UK passports. They are UK citizens.

@rcolvile @michaelgove @Miss_Snuffy She keeps a firm grip but also trusts her staff as she’s handpicked her staff. They seem genuinely enthusiastic about working at Michaela. They’re achieving what most teachers are driven by: transforming lives forever in the short time they have contact with pupils.

This was the tabloid press almost 40 years ago when the late Benjamin Zephaniah was offered a role at Cambridge.

Things haven’t changed much.

@KarlTurnerMP I seem to recall the first place mooted for the parliamentary nursery was not the bar but the subterranean shooting range under the Sports and Social…

No one could write an opening sentence like Rod Liddle. As his editor, I called it the “cocaine intro”: one line and you were hooked.

But his jokes were built on judgment, rigour, compassion - and the greatest satirical writing of our times.

Exclusive: Hampshire Police review crime reports from ex-pupils at a school where 80 students died after receiving contaminated blood products. The children were experimented on without their - or their parent’s consent - and yet there is still no national police investigation into the alleged crimes. This is the stuff on nightmares. #bloodydisgrace

A nice little story I saw on Facebook. World Cup winner Marc Cucurella lives in Horsham, a little town in the UK.

He let his postman, Gary, wear his World Cup medal today - probably the closest an Englishman has come to one for 60 years!

Sounds like Cucurella is a good chap.
