REFERENDUM TENNIS, ANYONE?

SHADOW Attorney General Baroness Chakrabarti is warning Labour’s MPs of the danger of a second EU referendum. She says: ‘Whether you’re for Leave or Remain, if we were to have another binary vote, and we get something similar to the split we saw last time — whether it’s a little bit for Leave or a little bit for Remain — what happens next? Best of three, women’s tennis? Best of five, men’s tennis?’ CHRIS SKIDMORE, the newly appointed minister for universities, was once in a Oxford punk band which recorded lewd lyrics about the Queen Mother only weeks after her death. As he tries to attract the world’s best young brains to Oxford and Cambridge, he’ll be deeply embarrassed to be reminded that the group, Bob Nylon and the Elastic Band, had a song called Oxford Reject that included the lyric: ‘Hey Oxford reject, you’re always gonna be a reject, you’re still a reject in my eyes.’
