Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

The public were told we would get £350 million a week, yet almost 10 years on, trade has been hit, costs have risen, and the country is still waiting for those promises to materialise. The leave campaign was fuelled by lies and misinformation: we must repair our relationship with Europe.

Badenoch will be suggesting they are given guns as well soon. And no doubt recruiting Yaxley-Lennon and his far right cronies to run it. Will any of the media even ask where she is going to get £1.6bn from to pay for it?

This could be a big moment for Farage. His only comment so far has been insipid, saying that what Trump said was "not quite fair". I'm not sure that anything short of publicly repudiating his friendship with Trump will play well with many of his supporters. Meanwhile, Labour should press the bruise.

Government has told Oxford City Council that the local elections due in May will take place. The will of the majority of councillors has triumphed and the efforts of the Labour Leader to wriggle out of holding elections has failed. A triumph for local democracy. Roll on May!
