Coming next year, meet Sycamore Bell. He's not the world's greatest detective. But he does answer the world's greatest detective's letters. thebookseller.com/rights/pan-fic…

This week in Recipes for disaster: Burger Diplomacy – the Golden Arches Theory ✍️ @RobDotHutton politicshome.com/news/article/r…

Yesterday's SKETCH was filed before we got the Cabinet appointments, but there were already hints of the weirdest thing about the Coming of Burnham: the self-congratulation of the Labour Party at its defeat of its ancient enemy, the Labour Party. thecritic.co.uk/burnhams-begin…

Credit to the Prime Minister, this is genuinely funny.

Keir’s out and Andy’s in. But will anything meaningful change? @RobDotHutton is sceptical thecritic.co.uk/burnhams-begin…

Meet the new boss... different from the old boss? My SKETCH of goings and comings in Downing Street. thecritic.co.uk/burnhams-begin…

Time to whoop ET's ass! Happy Birthday America month continues with Independence Day, a film in which aliens destroy America (and a number of other countries too unimportant to mention). champ.ly/E5Jq45dq

In a free-to-read sketch, @RobDotHutton reflects on a warm end to a chilly premiership thecritic.co.uk/two-cheers-for…

The Revolution Will Be Half-Empty - my SKETCH of CPAC-GB, the weird import from America that's going to save us from... well, from who, exactly? thecritic.co.uk/the-revolution…

So farewell then, Keir Starmer... my SKETCH of a friendly final PMQs. thecritic.co.uk/two-cheers-for…

Happy Birthday America Month continues with a tale of the bloodiest battle ever fought on US soil. We're watching Gettysburg, a film of amazing facial hair and one completely gratuitous Brit. champ.ly/3tyU1RXg

@KevinASchofield I don't think HMT has announced an appointment to the Manor of Northstead or the Chiltern Hundreds, which I think means he's still an MP.

I'm told by someone much cleverer than me that it's now too late for Reform to back out of the by-election. Nigel Farage is no longer an MP, so the by-election must go ahead or else Clacton will have no MP.

Populism in its Purest Form: my SKETCH of Nigel Farage's demand that the people of Clacton back his quest to keep his sources of cash secret. thecritic.co.uk/populism-in-it…

Nigel Farage is rallying his voters to defend his right not to be asked inconvenient questions about his money, writes @RobDotHutton thecritic.co.uk/populism-in-it…

@DPJHodges He can't this morning, because he's busy explaining to GCHQ how the Russians hacked his bank account.

The allegation Sky News harassed a member of Nigel Farage's family is an extremely serious one. If it's true, then it's completely unacceptable. Nigel Farage should explain exactly when and how this happened, and what the nature of the harassment was, so we can all judge.

The harassment of my family over a few completely within-the-rules gifts from friends has gone in long enough! thecritic.co.uk/from-the-desk-…
