Tonight, a kind friend is taking me to see Wrexham vs Oxford United. It really is a must win for Wrexham, yet to win a home league game this season. Natch I shall be cheering on “the town” if only to erase the pain of the last time I saw Oxford, a match where my daughter and I expected an easy win for Mighty West Ham but instead witnessed a humiliating cup thrashing.

I have a soft spot for Lisa Nandy – the Labour MP for Wigan. I think one of my sisters or maybe it was me sat on the lap of her grandfather Lord Byers once upon a time. In what is termed show business for ugly people, Ms Nandy scrubs up fairly well. Above all, she is, by the, admittedly low, standards of her party a voice of sanity and reason. However, I am afraid that her weekend utterances might in today’s Orwellian world be described as misspeaking, you and I might call it lying.
