Is the Keir Starmer Cabinet a government of adults, or a collection of college activists who have never grown up? The new Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, accused the Prime Minister outright of being a student politician during their first Commons clash last week, and the jibe seemed to hit home. It is not just that the Labour Government has been entangled in avoidable scandals because so many of its members were too immature – and so easily seduced by offers of luxury goods, free tickets and other shiny gifts.

Yes, it is fun watching silly Leftists wailing and gnashing their teeth over President Trump’s victory. It is yet more evidence that such people have no real idea what is going on in the world. But that does not prove that Mr Trump’s election is good news for the rest of us. Leave aside his deep personal unpleasantness, which is beyond dispute.

But Tia’s longing for fame and attention was to take her in an extreme, horrifying direction – one which, as the Mail has discovered this week, has been almost unbelievable for those who remember her as a sweet schoolgirl, utterly devoted to her privately educated long-term boyfriend.

Prince Harry and Meghan are staying far away from the Festival of Remembrance this year, after filming a video in California instead.
