Summary
Looking back on the big stories of the past seven days… An astonishing World Cup rollercoaster ends in crushing disappointment for England against Argentina – but it all seems unimportant next to the repercussions from the horrific killing of Ann Widdecombe . Are Reform’s claims that rival parties and the media are “inciting” violence making a tense situation worse? Plus, Keir Starmer opens his farewell tour with his last-ever PMQs – how will he be remembered? And former DJ, nightclub owner and publicist for Pulp Anneliese Midgley is tipped for a top job under Andy Burnham. Zoë Grünewald joins Andrew Harrison to discuss the biggest, strangest and under-reported stories of the week. • Back us on Patreon Written and presented by Group Editor Andrew Harrison.
