WHAT is it with middle-aged stars plugging face creams that makes them think we were born yesterday? Promoting her new eponymous skincare range, J-Lo, 51, left, claims she has never had Botox. No dear, of course you haven’t. And neither, I’m sure, has Nicole Kidman.

I’M NOT surprised Clarence House has had to disable the comments on its Twitter feed following this latest series of The Crown. Diana vs Camilla was portrayed as a straightfo­rward case of Madonna vs whore – the oldest sexist trope in the book and a complete travesty of the truth.

The Duchess of Cornwall would be perfectly within her rights to sue. She won’t, of course. She’s got far more sense – unlike some…

IF ETON is genuinely concerned about ‘social justice’, maybe it could offer more scholarshi­ps to children from poor background­s – instead of trying to bully the fee-paying ones they have into becoming self-hating, bleeding-heart liberals.

THE BBC has announced a new ‘mission critical’ guide to woke-speak in order to help staff avoid causing offence. I do hope its list of banned words includes the term ‘kill whitey’.

A MAN called Adolf Hitler has just won a local election in Namibia. That’s pretty much 2020 in a nutshell, really.
