Thrilled that one of my favourite stories about Ted Heath is mentioned in @TimesDiary! While Heath denied the ‘monstrous allegations made about a lack of courtesy’, his friends conceded that he hadn’t accompanied Thatcher to the door so they wouldn’t be photographed together …

Watch the State Opening of Parliament ⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=kgO_cW… This is the only time the three constituent parts of Parliament – the monarch, House of Lords and UK House of Commons – meet. The King reads a speech in the Lords Chamber, setting out the upcoming agenda of the government.

Days like today really reveal lobby reporting at its worst. "Hearing the Home Secretary might resign or she might not" should have stayed in your drafts.

Is there anyone left in the country who wants to argue that VAR has improved consistency? Eliminated controversy? Improved the game as a spectacle?
Alex Jones@alexcj

@daisychristo This from a game earlier this season. Guess the result. A goal for Arsenal.

So fascinating to come on here and read the endless debate. I’m just the guy who pays a hundred quid to actually go the game and be left totally in the dark. It’s so shit. It’s killed something brilliant. It has to go.
