Meaning of purdah and why bills are stuck in 'wash-up'
Parliament was expected to wind up yesterday after Rishi Sunak stunned Westminster by calling a snap general election for 4 July. The Commons is dissolved after an election is called and the official closure date for this election will be 30 May. After this date, MPs lose their jobs and either decide to leave politics, campaign for re-election in their constituency or run for a different seat.

Vennells booed in court for email that cases 'bored' her
Wrongly convicted subpostmasters booed former Post Office boss Paula Vennells when it was revealed she had dismissed their stories of injustice as \"hype and human interest\", saying she was more bored than outraged by them.

Court's ruling puts US in deeply awkward position
Benjamin Netanyahu's government had been expecting the judges at the UN's top court to accept, at least partly, South Africa's case over a ceasefire in Gaza and had already gone on the offensive.

It's scapegoating to claim porn and video games are responsible for joblessness
I always find it so funny when people talk about pornography and video game \"addiction\", because if we're being honest with ourselves, it's a miracle we aren't all addicted to pornography and video games.

Labour needs a City thumbs up to reassure the electorate
Rishi Sunak had become increasingly frustrated as the economic outlook improved but he and his ministers received little credit. It was this that made up his mind to go to the country. There seemed little point in waiting for things to get better (to quote the well-worn Labour song). They might, they might not.

Local boy Leclerc targets a spot in Monaco's royal box
The treacherous twists and turns of the Circuit de Monaco have not been kind to this small principality's prodigal son. It took until 2022 - after two retirements and one devastating failure to make the start line after qualifying on pole, with a Covid cancellation thrown in the middle - for Charles Leclerc to finish his home grand prix. And even that was ruined by a strategy failure, confining him to fourth after also qualifying on pole.
