Starmer out, Streeting behind him. Toughest part of Burnham's journey to No. 10 may well be Avanti West Coast.

England v Croatia is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries have a UNESCO World Heritage Site named after a Roman emperor.

England has Hadrian’s Wall. Croatia has Diocletian’s Palace in Split.

Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography(ish)-based World Cup analysis.

Interesting that all it took was Westminster Council (covering Soho) turning Conservative for the Mayor to come out fighting on this issue.

While Westminster was Labour-run we got nothing like this sort of punchy fighting talk from Sir Sadiq.

Party loyalty is a funny old thing.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage is repeatedly heckled by MPs as he calls on Keir Starmer to end "two-tier policing"

Starmer: "His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who lost his son & asked for this not to happen... it shows exactly who he is"

Our grandson Alfie can’t find a girlfriend on these apps. I told him pull up outside the pub in a decent motor and she’ll come to you. He said he hasn’t got a car. He’s got a Lime bike subscription. Margaret nearly cried. 🇬🇧

Today’s recommendation from the National Screening Committee on prostate cancer screening is deeply disappointing and a real step backwards. I urge the new Health Secretary to reject it and go further - offering targeted screening for the most at-risk men.

As I warned last November following the initial advice, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among British men. We are letting down too many men, their families and loved-ones if we don’t push for a wider screening programme that includes all high-risk groups.

Prostate cancer can be symptomless early on - as it was in my case. That’s why screening is essential - catching the cancers early when they can be more effectively and successfully treated, like with me.

If the advice is to be followed, you could be an older, black man with a family history of prostate cancer and STILL not get routinely screened. Surely, that can’t be right?

There are now better screening options and more advanced focused treatments available in parts of the NHS. I benefitted from these and others could too. Yet this seems to have been ignored by the Committee.

The new Health Secretary needs to be brave and bold. A more progressive and life-saving policy is within our grasp. Put in place a proper, targeted screening programme that involves all those at higher-risk. Without it, more men will die, and more families will lose a loved-one. As I said in November, this is avoidable and can be done.
