IPSO have published their verdict on The Daily Telegraph’s fake £345,000-a year banker couple who claimed they couldn’t afford five holidays.

The paper declined to explain to the watchdog how the article came to be published - but our reporting at the time sets it out…

An expressive watercolour painting of a chiffchaff

This is a chiffchaff. While small numbers overwinter here in the UK, hearing their song ‘chiff chaff chiff chaff’ for me really signals the start of Spring, I know I’ll be hearing one any day 🥰

A photo of the front cover of issue 1669 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” It has a yellow banner quoting “AN ABSOLUTE RAG OF A PUBLICATION” attributed to Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer, 2011. The main cover line reads “ANDREW THE NET TIGHTENS.” The central image shows Prince Andrew in a suit standing outside a building beside a police officer in tactical gear. Speech bubbles read “What’s the time officer?” and “About 25 years.”

Andrew: The Net Tightens

The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating A decade on, the economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating. Here's what the figures say.

Because of Brexit, the UK GDP is 6–8% lower than it would have been, business investment is 18% lower than in comparable economies, and both employment and productivity are around 4% lower. Can’t wait to see in a decade how Trump has damaged the US economically.

The Eye is devastated to report that Page 94 didn’t pick up any gongs at last week’s Political Podcast awards. But perhaps that was something to do with a certain member of the judging panel...

As you are in Reading, something from Oscar W. - Everything in moderation, including moderation

Had the Labour party been reading Private Eye in 2009, when business columnist Slicker was already laying out the peculiar Mandelson-Epstein connection, they would have known exactly what they were dealing with.

Mandelson has long cultivated a reputation as a master PR spinner. In reality, he’s mostly succeeded in repeatedly turning himself into a symbol of corrupt politics.

This week: Mandy Lifeboats

Ian, Helen, Adam and Andy examine the latest break in Peter Mandelson’s CV, the other secrets hiding in the Epstein files, and what comes next for the British government.

It isn't just Starmer's weakness we're seeing, it's the Labour Party's The Mandelson affair is a fit of madness, the latest of many

NEW SUBSTACK: Two things can be true at once. Unless Starmer has misled anyone, it would be madness to resign over Mandelson. It's also true the way his strategy and the way he's done the job has led him, inevitably, to the moment he is in.

There’s a statue in Parliament that’s been deliberately left damaged for over a century.

The reason why takes us back to one of the most important protests in British history.

Let me show you one of Parliament’s hidden stories.

Wow. This is cool!

Labour MP Clive Lewis calls for the resignation of Keir Starmer #C4News

"We're beyond the politics"

"We need someone who can provide stability, credibility, and who can provide integrity in office"

"You don't get more than one shot at being Prime Minister"

What Starmer cannot say The hypocrisy, in so many directions, the Epstein files reveal of the Westminster and the media class

Have written about a week where the hypocrisy of much of the media was laid bare (and address mine).

I also write about the truth Starmer cannot say: he appointed Mandelson to the court of Trump not in spite of the Epstein connection but in a sense, because of it. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Hey @thetimes.com what is ’racism’ - surely depicting the Obamas as monkeys is just old fashioned racism?

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
