The Reform Party was reeling this week, after an ITV exposé captured a Reform councillor on camera making comments that were immediately disowned by the party leadership. The councillor, who is now in hiding, was caught on film being neither racist or sexist. From the new Private Eye, in shops now

Harry Brook's 202 is the 14th double century in men's ODIs, the first for England, the fastest (both in terms of balls taken to 200 [114] and strike rate in the whole innings [174]) - and the first to end in defeat. The previous highest score in a losing cause is CK Coventry 194*.

I've added the Brexit departure to a BBC chart of boat crossings. They're reporting more racist thug unrest, although they call it a "protest". Considering Pharage was the loudest cheerleader for Brexit, the levels of boat crossing are on him more than anyone.
