I am not defending boomers, but they did generally live pretty cheap in their 20s Going out for coffee was insane. You threw Yuban into tiur Mr Coffe and put it in a thermos Eating out meant a trip to Pizza Hut maybe once a month Vacation was driving to a campsite

A statement from Phil Parsons, Chief Executive, Southampton Football Club.

Totally surreal situation now: 1) Wes Streeting was preparing to launch today but may now delay because he is said to be struggling to get the numbers. His people deny this - they say he has the numbers - but say that things have changed and more cabinet ministers are going over the top and pressing for Starmer to go. But... 2) Keir Starmer insists he is going nowhere. The number calling for him to go remains at 92 - where it's been for the last 24 hours - equivalent to nearly a third of backbenchers. His allies say that good news on economy and NHS makes his case for him. He is going fo fight on 3) Enter Angela Rayner. The former Deputy PM says she has been cleared by HMRC and doesn't rule out a challenge is Streeting succeeds in triggering a contest 3) None of this is remotely sustainable. How can you have a senior Cabinet minister publicly positioning himself for a run at Number 10? How can you have a third of backbenchers publicly calling for the PM to go. 4) Someone - either Streeting or Starmer - will have to give. Otherwise the government is going to be paralysed for the forseeable future, with Starmer in office but fighting for his life and Streeting ready to go but refraining from firing the starting gun.

Absolutely glorious watching Kemi skewer the entire front bench
