Top Six - April 22

6 Murdoch Press Defames Academic The increasingly downmarket Times smeared someone working in academia, in another very deliberate attack on anyone not agreeing the Government line on events in Syria.

5 Karen Danczuk Engagement IS OVER The engagement so widely promoted in the press has run its course as her pal moved out and returned to Spain.

4 Rasputin Destroys Himself Nick Timothy waded in on behalf of his old boss Theresa May, but ended up flouncing off Twitter after he was caught lying - and made things much worse for the Tories.

3 Tory Candidate Says Kill All Gays One of next month’s local election hopefuls has told his followers that the Bible has one punishment for homosexuality - death. Should go down a storm at the polling booth.

2 John Mann MP - We Have To Talk The thuggish and intemperate behaviour exhibited by the Labour MP for Bassetlaw has demeaned the campaign to tackle anti-Semitism.

1 Wetherspoon Social Media Exit BUSTED The news that the pub chain was leaving many social media platforms was backed up with the lamest of excuses. The reality is that their customer email database had been used to help the referendum Leave campaign.

And that’s the end of another blogtastic week, blog pickers. Not ‘arf!
