Possibly my favourite Strong Message Here title so far: The Island of Strangers and the Manacled Gimp of Brussels. In which I question why Keir Starmer has started tweeting in the voice of Danny Dyer.

Our Strong Message Here phrase of the week is “Be quiet, small man.” I also get to describe Mark Carney as “no one’s idea of a spunky puncher” and ask Brian Cox to explain how exactly Keir Starmer might turn around a £22bn black hole.
