The Daily Telegraph reports that Match of the Day host Gary Lineker has backed pro-Palestinian demonstrators marching through London on Armistice Day after he responded to comments made by the home secretary calling them hate marches. The former England striker wrote on social media that “marching and calling for peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of hate march”.

The Plot: The Political Assassination of Boris Johnson claims the Conservatives have been controlled for two decades by a cabal known as the “movement” – which ultimately toppled Mr Johnson as prime minister, and undermined others including Liz Truss and Theresa May.
