NEW - MPs say Bridget Phillipson and Liz Kendall confronted Kemi Badenoch about her language at PMQs today where she called Phillipson "spiteful" which Kendall said was outrageous.

Badenoch reported to have said “I’m never going to stop talking about how spiteful you are”

Phillipson then hit back at Badenoch: “The public are going to find out who you really are.”

Badenoch responded: "I will never stop fighting you. You are destroying children’s lives"

The avalanche of 'class war' and 'sheer spite' and 'politics of envy' attacks in response to the objectively rather mild step of removing tax breaks from private schools tells you one thing loud and clear - that a battle royal would break out if a large reduction in inequality was pursued as a political priority.

Bullies and the entitled don't like it up em

Looks like they've slightly downgraded temperatures forecast today, as they did yesterday morning. This is London.

Oh, that'll be disappointing for all the OAPs who were hoping to promenade out in the lovely soupy weather.

But never fear, perhaps the grannies can go on a trip to Hampshire or Dorset to warm up. It's already over 34C in several places in the South and it's only midday!

Beautiful here, blue sky , low 20's and fresh

Actually similar here in Cappadocia, 1300m up. Pic of the day, distant Mt Ercyes from Uchisar

I now realise that was a shit photo and you can hardly make out Mt Erciyes. I posted while on a walk with the sun glaring down on the screen. I had much better ones. Oh well. That's my daily allowance

Dog for scale next time?

Funny story about a dog actually.

Yesterday evening I was on a walk through the fairy chimneys and orchards and got a bit lost. I saw a farmer and asked him in sign language if I was going the right way for Goreme. He signalled yes but then pointed up to a high crag and started talking ten to the dozen in a serious tone of voice (in Turkish).

I looked confused and concerned. He then started saying something else and pointing to the path. I looked more confused so he pointed at the dog in his car and said the word again. I took this to mean proceed this way, you may have to climb a steep crag, and beware of the dogs.

I thanked him and proceeded with caution, listening out for growling noises. One of the worst tourist experiences is getting barked and charged at by fierce dogs in rustic settings at dusk.

Before long a huge dog limbered up and started sniffing me. I noted with relief that it didn't appear to be foaming at the mouth. It then looked me in the eyes and turned to walk ahead. Then turned round again, looked at me, and continued walking. I followed it. Up a narrow path over the steep crag, through farmland and on to the track. The dog ended up walking me about 3km all the way back to town. At which point it turned to me, got a pat on the head, and trotted back off towards its farm.

So the farmer has been saying "there's a steep crag and it's a confusing path, but don't worry one of my dogs will show you the way".

No leavers calling out Farage for still being obsessed, note.

10 years ago, today, the British people triggered an earthquake when they voted to get their country back.

But the political class have betrayed Britain and not delivered a proper Brexit...

I'm loving the earthquake.

And yes, proper communism Brexit hasn't been tried yet. Despite Brexiteers being in charge for most of the last ten years.

Point of order. Whilst I actually agree with your criticism of Farage's comments, Brexiteers have not been in charge for most of the last 10 years.

May, Truss and Starmer were all Remainers.

Johnson + Sunak = 1759 days in power so I make that roughly 48% of the period since the referendum. I’d contend there’s a genuine argument over Truss given she is as mad as a box of frogs and maybe was genuinely a Brexiteer by the time she was PM. That nudges us up to 49% of the given period. But you are correct, only by the the thinnest of margins, either way.
