Now the bad news. In just a few days' time, either Kemi Kaze or Honest Bob will become the new Tory leader and you will get yet more white noise from one of them. Most likely Kemi.

Partly because the choice is so dismal, but mainly because they suspect it's merely a temporary appointment. Give it a couple of years and they'll be going through the whole process again.
The only two people who don't seem to be aware of their own existential futility are Badenoch and Jenrick.
In an act of sadism towards their audiences, radio and TV stations have been giving blanket coverage to whatever drifts across both Kemi Kaze and Honest Bob's synapses. Rather than proving that eventually one of them might say something vaguely coherent, there's been a race to the bottom.

Turn it up to 11... Arguments on Salah's future rage, but are we all asking the wrong question?
There are numbers, of course, if you choose to want them. Records enough to drown in. Discourse piled sky-high. Here: a colourful infographic setting out his most recent milestones, begging your finger for a double-tap. Here: a TV host in expensive trainers pointing at a large screen. First for contingent goal involvements. First for final-third shimmies. Look at that shot throb velocity: up a staggering 0.28 on last season.
