Nobody even asks Boris Johnson where the Brexit £350m is for the NHS; it’s just accepted that Britain left the EU based on huge lies, and all a bit embarrassing to bring it up.

Michelle Mone’s lawyers sent us fierce denials that she was involved in PPE Medpro; Company was “proud” its PPE “helped keep our NHS workers safe”; In fact the gowns, for which the govt paid £122m, were rejected after inspection, never used in the NHS.

Boris Johnson claimed the NHS would get £350m a week if people voted to leave the EU; now raising that money by increasing people’s National Insurance payments.

Clearly heard on the TV coverage the disgusting Hillsborough-related taunt of Liverpool by Luton fans; a disgrace that shames football itself. Good to hear @Carra23 taking a moment on commentary to call it out. #LUTLIV

Some of the denials Michelle Mone & Doug Barrowman's lawyers sent to me and @guardian here, including: “You have now been placed on notice on numerous occasions of our client’s position in relation to PPE Medpro. She has no involvement in the business.”

Peter Bone, Brexit-supporting Tory MP, just said on #newsnight that an ‘Australia style deal’ is one of the options - when the EU has no deal with Australia. That’s the level we’re still at, four years since the lies referendum.

Excellent #Panorama programme on Roman Abramovich says his “secret past” is finally catching up with him; But it wasn’t secret - it was all aired in public in a 2012 London court case, as the programme said; No concerns were raised by the Premier League or UK establishment.

Kelvin Mackenzie writes a nasty, stupid slur about Liverpool again - the day before the anniversary of 96 deaths at Hillsborough. Words fail
