A now launch a sweepstake into the identity of Adolph's "living heir".

a) Laurence Fox.

d) Laura Kuenssberg.
e) Man of the people - funtime Nige.

For the past eight months, a team led by Sandra Parsons, the Mail's Literary Editor, have been working on the project to publish Unity's private musings for the first time.

We call this "scanning and typing".

My money is on Norman Tebbit being the love child. After all he did say that when his dad was out of work he got on a bike.

When I saw that about the diaries, I assume a Rothermere patriarch had died. and they found them in his desk drawer

There was never any definitive proof for the claims.

The Fail's making shit up again.

Hitler was an outlier among dictators by being undersexed, little evidence he had much interest. Like the Ted Heath of fascism.

Oh, I like that.

"What you been doing lately?"

Jayda Fransen says..”hold my beer”

I can't believe anyone who knows the story of the Mitfords will be overly bothered by any revelations this story unearths and I doubt if anyone else could care less.

Has anyone authenticated these diaries or bunged Dominic Sandbrook a few grand to say they're real?
They probably are real and the family has spent the last five decades touting them for sale. The Mail finally bought them for £200.

Was it the Times that(some years ago) bought into the phoney "Hitler diaries" at Hugh Trevor-Roper's behest (and subsequent red-faced embarassment)?

Sunday Times. Andrew Neil era, I believe.

There's a very insighful recent podcast out there on the Hitler Diary fiasco. Neither Neil or Trevor Roper were convinced at the 11th hour but Murdoch made the call as he cared little about reputations. He was in the entertainment business and as long as the extra copies were sold it mattered little to Murdoch if the diaries were subsequently revealed to be fakes.

Given the current political climate in America I'm not sure that this a particularly helpful.

Border czar Tom Homan torches AOC for 'impeding' arrest of illegal migrants

This will confuse the gammon who took their cues from MAGA influencers.

There's a fair chance that the Trump / Zelensky crisis will seriously discomfort Farage.

A turd must stink really, really badly for the Mail to leave the room.

'Unrivalled reports and analysis' tickles me.
