Khan was pressed hard on the allegations of extremist links which he handled competently. Goldsmith vigorously denied that he’d been running a smear campaign.

Michael Gove will set out his vision today for why the UK should leave the EU. Speaking on the programme is Michael Gove, justice secretary and co-convenor on the Vote Leave Campaign Committee.
Dominic Grieve is on at 8.50
Perhaps those who denigrated Boris for only winning narrowly the last time might want to re-evaluate his performance once this massacre is confirmed.

I expect it's connected in some way.
What worked for Boris is that he seriously motivated the Tory voters in the outer London boroughs, with whopping turnouts for him in places like Bromley.
And it was still close.
Where do they get today's "journalists" from? Are they capable of anything other than copy and pasting quotes, and then editing it to fit into a few paragraphs?
Proximity of the vote is a key one: any other time I wouldn't mind at all.
I actually voted for everyone, including the no-hopers. Just so I could put Zac last. Arrogant b*gger. Behaved appallingly to his wife and children.
The league this season is beyond us unless Leicester completely collapse, which seems unlikely given how efficient a unit they are. Unfortunately, their last game is away to Chelsea, who under no circumstances are going to give Spurs a helping hand. Double unfortunately, we also have to play Chelsea. My guess is that they will devote more effort to beating us.
That is why what purports to be a serious piece of analysis is presented on a huge billboard with a big number written on it. It's one step away from writing it in crayon.
It's not so long ago I was being told that tens of millions of European migrants wanted my job.
However it's all a moot point, the only saving grace as far as Vote Leave are concerned is that the Remainers have fired off their massive economic salvoes a trifle early, giving people time to digest how very stupid their whole argument is.
The Tories should have gone for a much bigger personality for their candidate, Shaun Bailey would have been much better at covering the centre ground in 2016's multicultural London.
Great exposure (for me), but...
Losing in a fair contest would be fine, but the shocking refereeing on Sunday would put a very bitter taste to it. Andy Carroll was quite right to say the ref had decided to even the score. West Ham fans were complaining about him nearly as much as the Leicester ones.
Leicester are battlers not bottlers, came back very well despite being 10 men down.
Surely that should read...
Under the moderation of Andrew Neil the two main contenders (and three others) in the London Mayoral race took part in the big TV set piece of the election last night.
Vardy cheated. The ref got his first booking wrong. Everything else seemed to be about right. But having been booked Vardy was very stupid to do what he did. There was no need to dive.
Yep, Leicester are battlers and have superb discipline,. Their efficiency in front of goal is extraordinary. If Tottenham could finish like Leicester do this would all have been over a long time ago. But we can't complain, you took four points off us and thoroughly deserve it. But for the first time in my life I am truly excited about Tottenham's future. It feels very good.
What positivity comes from the risky remainers?
Alas, I did not back the 33/1 tip. Oh well.
Maybe one clings to naive assumptions that those writing about eg. economics or finance have at least some experience in the subject!

If he gets imprisoned whilst nobody does for what happened at New Year's Eve in Cologne, that's not a good contrast.

Will Hutton worked as a stockbroker I believe before journalism, so he knows what he's talking about as far as high finance goes.

It's bad enough in economics and finance, most publications coverage of technology and science issues is a bad joke. This entry in the Indie last month was particularly embarrassing from their "technical reporter" Doug Bolton (BA English, MA Journalism, few years on a local paper, no technical background whatsoever)

Edited extra bit: Mr. Runnymede, a former [long-lived] economics thinktank may agree with you on Hutton...
Still have fond memories of my 16-bit Mega Drive. When games were for real men (even if they were children). No saving. If you're five and a half hours into Sonic the Hedgehog with one life and your mum interrupts you and you die, that's it. Done.

Of those expressing a preference, more than 80% back Remain.

I work in computing and have a keen interest in aviation, do quite often wonder that if the MSM make so many stupid errors in the two subjects I do know something about, what is the quality of the rest of their output on which I rely to inform myself?
The original WOW was the first real game that I played on a PC, although I did play a black and white game on a Mac Plus in 1986. I forget the name now, it was about finding key objects to go from one level to the next in an Egyptian Pyramid, while being scared of the deadly Mummy finding you. Happy days.
For the princely sum of £35, Mrs Indigo (Snr) was aghast, and even more so when we all stopped helping with the unpacking and went to play Pong!
@DPJHodges: Our EU business partners might conclude it's in their interest to keep open their markets. They may not. But that's not sovereignty is it.
Robinson seized upon the negative first, but to be fair to Gove he made the most attractive pitch to me.
I'm proud to be a Leaver this morning; wish I could say that I'm proud of the way my party's leadership has acted.
Oh wait ......... OGH discontinued the annual POTY and TOTY awards, following some rather unfortunate voting irregularities.
.......British leaders and commentators do not hesitate to hold forth on the foreign policy of the United States: a policy supported by David Cameron, attacked by Jeremy Corbyn, and denounced or questioned by many others with regard to the Middle East, defence spending, drone strikes, the handling of Cuba and scores of other issues. Our Parliament has even held a debate on the deficiencies of Donald Trump.
So it would be a bit rich for us, opining as we do on every aspect of America’s relations with other states, to turn all precious and sensitive when American leaders comment on ours.

Dominic Grieve taking apart Gove's argument on 5 Eyes and other justice issues.
"Canada have to pay tariffs"
"We wouldn't have to be like Canada" says Gove
If that's "the most attractive pitch", I have a bridge you may be interested in...
That's my guess, anyway. Quite glad to be part of the last generation that grew up without having the internet.
Mr. Meeks, if of mythical beasts we must speak, then where is the protection for the City of London? Presumably it's over there, being carried on the back of that unicorn.
Mr. Indigo, Pong is clearly superior to unpacking.
Mr. K, first games I played were on an Amstrad, on cassette tape. They took 30 minutes to load. Used to put one in then go and read a book for a while.
So, is there a tariff from Iceland to Turkey or anywhere in between?
Mr. kle4, there's also a difference between opining on policy and intervening in an election/referendum.
