Laura Lady Kenny DBE, as she is apparently now styled, won her 5 Olympic gold medals in the open Olympics, not the Paralympics.

I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to PMQs later. Hoping for some proper backbencherstabbing.

Let's call it Schadenfreude to sound more sophisticated

I'm in a rush but apparently five more have gone and Starmer is calling it sinking ships fleeing the rat
