Pity poor Leonie Mellinger, voice coach to Keir Starmer who is a bunged-up, hedgehog ball of frowns

The Attorney General 'conflict of interest row' becomes riper by the day. The more that ministers pooh-pooh it, the fiercer the pong

I nearly pulled out a hanky and gave a wave as HMS John Healey sailed off to war

Poor Rushanara sensed the stare of her boss Big Ange drilling into her spine ...and looked like she might be sick

Feeling got-at by the Starmer Government? It could be worse. Imagine working as one of Angela Rayner's ministers.

Starmer's lurching from boob to mishap - but the minute there's a crisis he locks himself in the loo. After claiming to be as pure as a teetotal missionary, the Man With All The Wrong Answers is about to get his comeuppance...

No longer mistress of all she surveys, no longer empress of the horizon, Rachel Reeves crouched on the Commons front bench with a knot of her closest...

Starmer, that dull old vegan sausage, waddled up to the lectern - and bored the Y-fronts off us all for 20 minutes

Every week it happens and every week the dull, old vegan sausage is blown off course by some news sensation.

Nothing to see here, people. Alas, the minister's strangulated, panicky timbre - plus, perhaps, a slightly sweaty bulge to his eyeballs - suggested otherwise

Rachel Reeves declined to answer a mid-morning Commons discussion of the state of the economy. Whitehall aides possibly couldn't prise her fingers off...
