What is behind today's Mail front page?
Contrition?
Fear?
An attempt at balance?
Can you just turn round years of inflaming our politics with lies and hatred by one front page?

A letter from the Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) saying, as clearly as diplomatic language allows, that Rachel Reeves is right about the in-year black hole, and we were lied to by the previous government.
"We were made aware of the extent of these pressures at a meeting with the Treasury last week" .... i.e. The Tories lied to the OBR and they lied to the public.

Based on Labour’s shadow cabinet, 84% went to comprehensive schools, 10% went to private schools and 6% to state grammar schools.
That would mean for the first time the cabinet closely reflected British society.
And the most working class cabinet in UK history.

The wife of the MP Andrew Bridgen claims her husband has been radicalised and captured by an anti-vax cult. She claims she and her son were left homeless and living off benefits after the “sect” took him over and destroyed their marriage.

The evidence to the covid inquiry today is the most damning we have heard yet.
Johnson hasn't a clue about the scientific evidence, wants old people to die off -"they've had a good innings" - and Sunak's "eat out to help out" scheme not approved by the scientists and likely led to many deaths.

Company gives £2m to Tories.
Buzzfeed finds evidence of potential corruption in the company's operations.
The UK authorities refuse to investigate but the buzzfeed evidence is pursued by the French and CEO and other executives are jailed.
This is as blatant a prima facie case of institutional corruption as you are likely to come across in our debased Tory Britain.

This is shocking but not surprising. Nothing about Johnson is ...
"Boris Johnson’s decision-making was ‘bipolar’ during Covid, wrote Vallance.
Chief scientific adviser in 2020 found the ex-PM ‘completely inconsistent’ in his evidence to the Covid inquiry"

Want an honest reaction of the British public to the resignation of Boris Johnson?
For those who don't know or don't live in the UK, "Any Questions" is a BBC radio political panel that broadcasts live on a Friday and repeats on a Saturday lunchtime.
We were driving home today and caught the end of the repeat announcing Boris Johnson's resignation.
Here is the unprompted and unedited audience reaction.
Anything else is spin.
