Rising and Setting

This is splendid stuff.

To be fair, only Kendall would ever have given an interview to The Sun. But Burnham has come out and said that he would never do so.

The Hillsborough Report will in any case close The Sun well before a General Election in 2020. It will be gone.

The blood of the 96 already drips from every page, and from the very lips of Kelvin MacKenzie, who presumably has his bag packed for prison. He certainly ought to have.

Burnham was very visible at the Gala yesterday, kept off the platform but sporting a Prime Minister costume that must have been agony in the heat.

The look on his face was unmistakable. "One day," it said, "all this will be mine."

The Sun cannot afford to lose football. But any day now, and certainly during the course of the present Parliament, it will.

When no Premier League club, nor the England national team, will have anything to do The Bloody Rag of Hillsborough, then that will be damaging enough in itself.

But it would not end there. The network of WAGs and other associates stretches deep into popular culture generally.

It's all over.

  1. Brilliant. Rumour has it you are poised for when the Sun goes down.

    As for Prime Minister costumes, your own Italian designer linen suit was widely remarked upon at the Gala even if you did try and tell people it was M & S. You looked more like an MP than half the MPs there.
