I have been sent a statement by Jonathan Ross regarding David Walliams and Russell Brand. He says his thoughts are with the "many, many women who have bravely come forward". He insists he was "unaware of their conduct".

Democrat runners and riders for 2028.

My view is the ticket will be Ossof plus a woman

[Dorothy Byrne @dorotheabyrne]

I would like to give immense personal thanks to Jemima Goldsmith. It was Jemima who alerted me to Russell Brand when I was Head of News and Current Affairs at Channel Four because she believed, based on her own experience, he was a danger to other women and must be exposed.

Tom Holland calls for a national celebration to mark England’s 1,100th birthday next year.

King Athelstan was declared the first ‘King of the English’ on July 12, 927.

Let’s get this campaign going!

@Scalextric It's possible to get a slot car of nearly F1 winner from some drive in their career... except Thierry Boutsen. Boutsen is impossible. So anything he drove would be ideal

If Liz Truss makes it to 96 she’ll have spent more days of her life at the Remembrance Sunday cenotaph than she ever spent in Downing Street.

Jon Ossoff is a POLITICAL SUPERSTAR. Full stop.

Smart. Sharp. Charismatic. And one hell of a communicator.

If he doesn’t run for president in 2028, I’ll be absolutely stunned.

This guy has future president written all over him.

The FIA has sent out a corrected grid with Hamilton 20th, Verstappen 21st and Pérez 22nd now after penalties.

Best piece I've read on why Ossoff will be our next President

[James Hanson @jhansonradio]

In the wake of the Russell Brand verdict, can we please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop referring to on-air staff as “The Talent”.

It’s as if the phrase was deliberately designed to inflate often already oversized egos.

And that’s not to say that actors, comedians, presenters, etc aren’t talented. But by changing the word from an adjective to a noun you are deliberately implying that these people are somehow special, and therefore can play by different rules.

Also… the use of the definite article “The Talent” implies they’re the only person on a given show/film/programme with any natural ability. Often the most talented people in the media world are those who work off-air/behind-the-scenes.

It is both offensive and dangerous to continue using this phrase and yet it still gets bandied about liberally in the media world.

This may seem a relatively trivial point given the gravity of Brand’s crimes, but I genuinely believe it at least partly explains the culture of impunity which allowed him to commit them.

Rant over.

@Siiel12 I don’t mind it. One of the essential things required to be a great driver - possibly THE essential thing - is a certainty of your own worth.

99% of black women in Mississippi voted for Scott Colom (D)

That's the same margin as Kim Jong Un

Fact for the weekend

42% of all the prime ministers we have had since the end of the First World War will be standing by the Cenotaph this Sunday
