Ben Stokes is understood to be considering his future as an England cricketer after breaking the team curfew. One possibility is a two-match ban, which would rule him out of Test cricket until August, with no guarantee on current form of a recall

Glad to see Monaco is having the same pothole issues Sheffield has.

One thing that has surprised me about Robert Kenyon on Question Time.

He's turned up on time, it's only in porn that plumbers turn up on time.

[BBC Question Time @bbcquestiontime]

“I’ve got nothing but respect for women… I’ve said things years ago that I wouldn’t say now”

Reform UK’s Robert Kenyon says he “won’t accept” being labelled as “sexist”, but admits he “made mistakes” with comments he made “15 years ago” that have been “dragged up”

Makerfield By-Election Update:
https://t.co/1qzdOOW1SO

Survation conducted a new poll of the Makerfield constituency. Fieldwork was conducted by telephone among 518 adults in the constituency between 26th May and 1st June 2026. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Methodology Statement
Population Sampled: All residents aged 18+ living in the Makerfield parliamentary constituency.

Total Sample Size: 518

Data Collection Method: Telephone interview. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Fieldwork Dates: 26th May – 1st June 2026

Data Weighting: Data were weighted to the profile of all adults in Makerfield constituency aged 18+. Data were weighted by age, sex, ward and 2024 General Election vote.

Targets for the weighted data were derived from Office for National Statistics data and the results of the 2024 UK General Election.

Margin of Error: Because only a sample of the full population was interviewed, all results are subject to a margin of error. For example, in a question where 50% gave a particular answer, with a sample of 518 it is 95% certain that the “true” value would fall within 4.8 percentage points of the sample result.

Headline by-election voting intention - Table V2 (likelihood-weighted, undecided/refused removed, no squeeze):

Candidate / Party / Vote share

Andy Burnham - Labour 49%
Robert Kenyon - Reform UK 39%
Rebecca Shepherd - Restore Britain 8%
Sarah Wakefield - Green Party 2%
Jake Austin - Liberal Democrat 1%
Michael Winstanley - Conservative 1%
Another party <1%

Base: likely voters, factored by likelihood to vote, with undecided and refused voters removed

Draw me a Venn diagram of people outraged by the rozzers getting attacked at Manchester Airport (and people were found guilty) and also defending 'concerned patriots' attacking the rozzers in Southampton.

@StaveleyMWFCNo1 I love Peter Murrell, this is my favourite ever scandal.

[TSE @TSEofPB]

We all bought stuff we didn’t need during lockdown so I am not criticising Peter Murrell here.

[Jenny Reilly @crit_gen]

Murrell purchased 7 kettles between Aug 2020 and Nov 2020. Including purchasing 2 on the same day. Fascinatingly odd.

Find your Peter Murrell item by putting a pound sign against the number of X followers and the last thing you touched in your kitchen.

Mine is a £42600 pizza wheel.

[Sam Dumitriu @Sam_Dumitriu]

Reform have proposed abolishing tax on overtime for every worker earning less than £75k.

My take:

1. This appears to be an import of Trump’s extremely dumb (but clearly popular) ‘no tax on tips’ policy.

2. If your aim is to boost growth and incentivise work, this isn’t a good use of £5bn. It’s a luxury policy in all honesty: can they honestly say £5bn couldn’t go further elsewhere (either in tax cuts, infrastructure investment, or just improving public services)?

3. This will likely create lots of avoidance opportunities.

4. There will also be genuine cases of unfairness. What about workers with second jobs?

5. This is likely to create a massive cliff-edge problem where taking an extra hour of overtime or getting a raise leaves someone thousands of pounds worse off.

[TSE @TSEofPB]

New Survation poll has Burnham winning the Makerfield by-election. Restore are set to hand Andy Burnham victory.

[TSE @TSEofPB]

So a BPC registered pollster has Labour only 1% behind Reform.

Among those likely to vote:

Reform: 25% (-1)
Labour: 24% (-1)
Conservatives: 17% (-)
Green: 10% (-2)
Liberal Democrat: 10% (-1)
