#1 SS Nazi Uniform Shame of Piers Morgan
No doubt this will be a bitter-sweet victory for Piers. It was number one because it was suppressed, follow-ups didn’t run in News UK’s titles because he is a protected man there, it didn’t run in Associated’s titles because he is a Daily Mail columnist and it didn’t run in The Daily Mirror because he is a former editor.

A good news story that saw Arron Banks and Liz Bilney, the CEO of Leave.EU, follow in the footsteps of Darren Grimes by winning in the High Court against the Electoral Commission. All that nonsense about Russians? Nyet.
#7 Number 10’s Message to Biden Originally Congratulated Trump
Strange one, unbelievable, yet true. This story, like so many others, got worldwide follow-up in the media.
You are either in front of Guido, or you’re behind…
