About this deal

A message from Airbnb: As the cost of living has risen, more people have turned to hosting on Airbnb to boost their income and afford their homes. Today, the vast majority of UK Hosts share one listing and more than a third say the additional income helps them make ends meet and afford rising living costs. Put simply, the opportunity for families to use their homes - typically their greatest expense - to flexibly boost their income can be an economic lifeline. Find out more. ** TONIGHT’S MEDIA ROUND

Ed Faulkner, Publisher at Allen & Unwin UK, says, ‘I am absolutely delighted to be working with Iain once again and bringing him to Allen & Unwin and Atlantic Books. I hope he won’t mind me saying that nobody is more obsessed about the history of British politics than he is, so he is the perfect author for what will be a treasure trove of 800 years of British political history, featuring fascinating characters and events and a few surprises to boot.’

Famous Revolutionaries

In 1987, the legendary Atlanta Braves pitcher Phil Niekro made his final MLB appearance, albeit surrendering five runs in three innings against the San Francisco Giants, marking the end of a remarkable career. But but but: The government also can’t allow the drive to net zero to become “some religious fervor. Otherwise, the British people, the quiet majority, will rise up and stop it,” the person added. In 1961, Sandy Koufax made history by setting the NL strikeout season record with an impressive total of 269 strikeouts, solidifying his reputation as one of baseball's greatest pitchers. IS THAT A NIGHTSHIRT? One Westminster wag flagged the rather weird Andrea Leadsom video about breast feeding. Someone in her office needs to work out sorting the audio. AROUND THE WORLD

He said in a statement: “Despite Lord Pentland’s findings in the Court of Session that the behaviour of the former permanent secretary and her officials was ‘unlawful’, ‘unfair’ and ‘tainted by apparent bias’, despite the ongoing police and Crown Office enquiries into the criminal leaks and potential perjury at the criminal trial, despite the astonishing revelations of misfeasance contained in the eventual publication of the Government’s own legal advice, and despite the specific findings of the parliamentary inquiry into the conduct of the former permanent secretary and the former first minister, not one single person has been held accountable. With this court action that evasion of responsibility ends.” On this day in 2013, the New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde released her debut studio album, "Pure Heroine." The album's unique sound and Lorde's distinctive voice garnered critical acclaim, marking a significant moment in contemporary music. Louis Botha, a Boer general and statesman, served as the first Prime Minister of South Africa from 1910 to 1919, playing a pivotal role in the nation's history. Born in the Palace of Fontainebleau, France, Louis XIII became King of France in 1610. His reign played a crucial role in the history of France. Kathy Whitworth, an American golfer with a record 88 LPGA Tour wins, achieved seven LPGA Player of the Year titles and six major championships during her remarkable career.Avril Lavigne, the Canadian singer-songwriter known for hits like "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi," was born in Belleville, Ontario. Farage (GB News, 7 p.m.): ResPublica Director Phillip Blond… Former Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Peter Fahy. That balancing act illustrated: “It would be remarkable if we stumbled into the next election somehow having looked as if we were eschewing our net zero leadership when we are the world’s net zero leader,” one person familiar with the Downing Street plans told Playbook PM. “But we’ve got to show to people that we’re pragmatic, that we listen, that we’re not some zealous, deaf, bunch of fanatics who know better than the community.”

Ministers will consult on proposals to make streaming TV services accountable to the broadcasting watchdog. NOW DO YOUR OWN:Anti-Brexit campaign group Best for Britain has created its own fantasy Cabinet tool. Have fun. In 1821, Mexican revolutionary forces, under the leadership of Agustín de Iturbide, successfully occupied Mexico City as Spanish forces withdrew. This marked the culmination of the Mexican War of Independence, a significant chapter in history. IN THE COMMONS:MPs sit from 11:30 a.m.with Treasury questions before a debate on the King’s Speech about creating economic growth. Labour will trigger a vote on strengthening economic watchdogs, aimed at keeping the Conservative focus on Truss.Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, a French bishop and writer, was born in Dijon, France. He became known for his role as the court preacher to Louis XIV. I also thought it would be interesting to see if there was an equal share of events for the seven days of the week. There wasn’t. Unsurprisingly, there are fewest entries on Saturdays (35) and Sundays (29). Forty-two events took place on Mondays and Tuesday proved to be the most eventful day with 73 events, just ahead of Thursdays with 71. On Wednesdays there were 56 events and Friday 60. We aver that this refusal to disclose is a continuation of the misfeasance which began more than five years ago.
