And so to the 5 BIG QUESTIONS of the week

1

Research claiming right-wing politicians are better looking than left-wingers. Did David Mellor take a day off when it was carried out?

2

How amazing is that French whale who can say “hello” “bye” and count to three when half the beached whale population of Texas can only say “large fries”?

3

IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad dying aged 91. Has there ever been more certainty a man would leave instructions on the exact dimensions of his coffin?

4

Chinese TV asking Theresa May if it’s safe for tourists to visit the UK. Why didn’t she say “no, but at least none will die of eating contaminated dogs”?

5

Calls for a plaque in Wolverhampton honouring Enoch Powell. Why not put it in a street where Saturday night fights occur so it can be drenched in rivers of blood?
