There’s no surer sign that an organisation is out of good ideas than when it brings back a face from the past, aware that it will keep the fans happy but almost certainly lead to disaster. Chelsea supporters wanted José Mourinho back until they got him back and were reminded of why he’d had to go in the first place. The same with EastEnders viewers and Leslie “Dirty Den” Grantham.

There was a touch of the nasty talent show judge about Keir Starmer at Prime Minister’s Questions this week, when Plaid Cymru’s Liz Saville Roberts asked: “Is there any belief he holds which survives a week in Downing Street?” and the PM shot back: “Yes, the belief that she talks rubbish.”Supporters of the Welsh independence party affected to be gravely affronted, but the snarky quip was hardly the most offensive thing Starmer had come up with in recent days.

It was Leni Riefenstahl’s 100th birthday, and once again the director was sitting down to be questioned about the years in which she mythologised Adolf Hitler, the Nazis and the Aryan aesthetic in masterfully composed, morally corrupt films like Triumph of the Will (1935).

Let’s start with some contradictory facts. Exhibit A is the almost historic unpopularity of Brexit. When Britons are asked if the 2016 referendum vote was a mistake, Yes leads No by 25%. Asked how they’d vote in a new one, Rejoin leads Stay Out by around 15%. Perhaps these leads will grow still further as it becomes clear that not only has leaving the EU badly damaged the economy, it has also damaged our health.

Not only is @BritishGas customer service bizarre, contradictory and useless - promises of a refund followed by big bills and legal threats - but I find myself having to come back here to the Saluter's Salon in the hope that someone from there will contact me to fix it.
