And so to the 5 BIG QUESTIONS of the week

1 Iain Duncan Smith taking over Jeremy Vine’s Radio 2 show on Monday. Will the first song he plays be The Dead Kennedys’ Kill The Poor?

2 Isn’t it apt that the longest day of the year fell in a week when the longest suicide note in British history was being handed to the EU?

3 Why do right-wing papers only show pics of women at the start of Ascot’s Ladies Day smiling in big hats, but show Aintree’s ladies at the end, lying on their backs?

4 Instead of The Tories pledging to bring back fox hunting, wouldn’t our streets be safer if we concentrated on lone-wolf hunting?

5 Does anyone else hope every lunch for the UK’s Brexit negotiating team in Brussels ends with a straight banana sundae?
