Lucy Bronze collects her medal but chooses not to shake the hand of FIFA boss Gianni Infantino - imagine this has something to do with him telling female players to "convince us men" in the ongoing fight for equal pay...
💥 I asked Nigel Farage: “You’ve announced you’re standing to become Clacton MP. This is despite you previously saying, and I quote: ‘Do I want to spend every Friday for the next five years in Clacton?' What’s changed your mind?”
Just had a huddle with Rishi Sunak - every newspaper got to ask a question except the Mirror
Thanks to lobby colleagues who are equally outraged at such a blatant exclusion

It is disappointing to see people trying to turn Starmer saying Sunak "simply does not get Britain" into a race row when he was clearly talking about his wealth and the cost of living crisis
Things like this make it so much harder to call out actual racism in Westminster

An incredibly poignant and moving moment as Sir Martin Moore-Bick ends his statement by reading the names of the 72 lives lost in the Grenfell Tower fire
The room is silent - it comes minutes after he says the public inquiry has concluded the deaths were "all avoidable"
Jeremy Clarkson's Sun article in which he said he was 'dreaming of the day' when Meghan was made to 'parade naked through the streets' while crowds 'throw lumps of excrement at her' has now become Ipso's most complained about article - with more than 17.5K complaints

Jeremy Clarkson’s Sun newspaper column, in which he said he “hated” the Duchess of Sussex, has become the Independent Press Standards Organisation’s most complained about article, with more than 17,500 complaints
NEW Keir Starmer says he was "surprised" by poster and brands it "desperate"
“I think it underlines the difference between the two campaigns now... They’re running a very negative campaign, nothing about the future of the country."
I had my first spread in the Irish Daily Mail - and in the Saturday paper too!

EXC: Simon Clarke has suggested doctors shouldn’t complain about pay as he could be earning £400,000 in the private sector but chooses not to
And he defends the decision not to pay nurses more...
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt spends the morning claiming taxes would increase under Labour - and we’ve got a 19-page dossier on it
Asked if the Tories - who have overseen the tax burden rise to its highest level since WWII - will cut taxes, he says he doesn’t have a “crystal ball”
My first Mirror splash - the PM has received a second fine in less than a year after not wearing a seatbelt in a car - he was also fined during the partygate scandal last April👇🏾
Rishi Sunak asked 'how can anyone trust you' after Partygate fine by man who lost mum
Nick Fox told me he wanted to “look him in the eye” and tell the PM what his family have been through as he partied in No10 - and that he doesn’t accept Sunak’s apology

He told me the Government could "easily" change the law and called on them to "get on with it"

Later this week is the two-year death anniversary of my wonderful Dad.
Dad, not only is your girl front page today but she’s writing about football in a national newspaper! I’m channelling you into everything I do and I love seeing the ways you’re influencing my life❤️
My Dad would always say how England hadn’t won a major tournament since 1966, the year he was born. We’d always watch women’s football together and it makes sense that the first big comp after he’d pass - THEY’D FUCKING WIN
Here’s to 2022 Dad🥂🥂🥂🥂 I’M CRYING ❤️❤️❤️
NEW: Huge exclusive out from our Crime Editor Rebecca Camber
Police are today digging on the Moors for murder victim Keith Bennett for the first time in 35 years - and nearly six decades after the schoolboy was snatched by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley
My first solo splash byline - a very proud moment, especially for my mum!
As waiting times hit new record highs, MPs ask where the money is going…
They said problems in the NHS were not down to funding but bureaucracy and management
Football will always have a special place in my heart because it was a space I shared with my wonderful Dad who I lost in 2019.
In these moments, I think of him - I know you would be absolutely loving this Dad❤️
Huge standing ovation for Nathaniel Dye who tells his terminal cancer diagnosis story on the Labour stage - he says how long waits for treatment have "cut my life in half"
Read my interview with Nathaniel from Labour conference here👇
Absolutely devastating news. I remember when I met Zephaniah not long after my dad passed away. He spoke to me about grief and told me people only die when they are forgotten - may his legacy live on.
We're deeply saddened by the loss of Benjamin Zephaniah, a pioneering Dub Poet and Author whose energy, vibe, and unapologetic work paved the way for Black British Writers. We're forever grateful for his contributions and commitment. He’s legacy will live on forever.

Absolute shambles... Rishi Sunak has now made a massive U-turn and is saying the comments "were racist" after refusing to admit it all day
Is Kemi Badenoch now in charge?
NEW: PM spox: “The comments allegedly made by Frank Hester were racist and wrong. He has now rightly apologised for the offence caused and where remorse is shown it should be accepted… 1/2
Rishi Sunak today gushed about how he wants all kids to study maths up to 18
But he failed to mention how he will tackle any of the issues the education system is facing now… teacher shortages and potential strikes might need addressing first
