Into every life a little rain must fall -  even when it's David Beckham's.

Sent off during the Paris St Germain v Evian game for violent conduct after six minutes - provoking a punch-up at the final whistle - a French critic says on the radio : ‘Beckham's just like our president [Francois Hollande]. Most of the time, he does nothing.

Mr Bolton has used his first day as Ukip leader to soften the party's line on immigration, telling reporters while numbers should be cut a hard target was not needed.


 
Talking about the British & Irish Lions rugby squad tour of Australia, Radio 4 Today show's dispensable Justin Webb takes a swipe at the Old Etonians working in No 10, saying, ‘What do you bet they call it "rugger"?' Wonder what they called it at Sidcot, his fee-paying Quaker school in Somerset?
