When a reporter said he had a few people to apologise to first such as US President Obama - referring to previous ill-judged comments - he said: "The United States will be at the front of the queue."

Apologies for the mix-up with Boris in Foreign Office. I wrote "F OFF" next to his name and the intern got confused.

The UN's cultural organisation has listed 17 works by pioneering Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier as world heritage sites. Le Corbusier developed a residential housing principle called Unité d'Habitation - he thought the tower block was the solution for re-housing the masses that had been displaced during World War Two.

Even though it goes up and down the media these days I still have to grin listening to Mrs Trump being rickroll'd as well:

A sad day for conspiracy theorists. If the current presidential race proves anything - it is that there isn't a secret omniscient omnipotent organisation running things. Possibly a completely incompetent, shadowy organisation, possibly the Milk Marketing Board or the Bately town women's guild.
