Penny Mordaunt has publicly said she will vote in favour of the findings of the Commons Privileges Committee report on Boris Johnson Why do I feel this has more to do with her own leadership ambitions rather than her internal moral compass? (Basically showing she has more backbone and integrity than Rishi Sunak)

Former Springbok Derick Hougaard (40) has been in a coma for a week

I was nine when my Mum died and nobody ever said the word cancer to me until long after she died. Whether that was her choice or my Dad's I never knew. He spoke about her often but never her illness.

I don't particularly dislike It's A Wonderful World but I feel it is out of place in this line up.
