Lord Peter Mandelson sought Epstein's opinion on the draft of his 2010 memoir about New Labour's rise to power and his relationships with former prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. "I have finished my first read [...] The deals you want to be involved in require discretion, trust, handshakes, privacy. This book announces that you are willing to sell all of these for a farthing," Epstein wrote as part of an email exchange dated 16 May 2010. "Your friend, and boss, tony [sic], is more often described as frail, flustered, tired, weak, and Gordon, flawed, demanding, pig-headed, irrationally determined." The emails, released by the US Department of Justice, give an insight into how much Mandelson valued Epstein's advice and shows they remained close after the disgraced financier was convicted of child sex offences in 2008. "It is not uplifting, it is gossipy and defensive," Epstein adds, saying he found the draft book "troubling" and recommending that Mandelson look at his manuscript again.

The following is an edited transcript of Newcastle interim manager Joe Kinnear's first official press conference yesterday JK Which one is Simon Bird [Daily Mirror's north-east football writer]? SB Me. JK You're a cunt. SB Thank you. JK Which one is Hickman [Niall, football writer for the Express]? You are out of order. Absolutely fucking out of order. If you do it again, I am telling you you can fuck off and go to another ground. I will not come and stand for that fucking crap. No fucking way, lies. Fuck, you're saying I turned up and they [Newcastle's players] fucked off.
The idea is to dominate with overloads all over the pitch: three centre-backs to outnumber opposition strikers; wide centre-backs carrying the ball forward to make extra, unmarked men in midfield and attack; the central centre-back also stepping into midfield; and two No 10s augmenting that area while also, along with the wide centre-backs, ensuring the wing-backs are not left alone.

"Former capitalists, Ray and Moth Winn, refuse to pay up when an investment goes wrong, preferring to embark on a lengthy legal battle which eventually leads to the loss of their farm. Moth is diagnosed with a degenerative, muscle wasting illness, prescribed medication and advised to take of things easy. Undeterred by the diagnosis and horrified at the thought that they could end up living in a council house, the Winns embark on a grueling 630 mile hike, wild camping along the South West Coast Path, leaving the medication behind. They are woefully unprepared for the journey with lightweight sleeping bags, no sun cream or anything with which to bury their path side poos. They have no plans for where to buy food and subsist on a diet of noodles, rice, chips and fudge bars, often bought (and on one occasion stolen) from expensive tourist shops. They contribute nothing to the regions they pass through but feel they are entitled to take whatever they need. They use campsites and their facilities without paying, spend time in cafes dipping their own tea bags into free boiled water whilst drying their socks. Ray is outraged when someone who sells bottled water refuses to fill their water bottles for free. The mostly silent and sainted Moth will happily give half of his last Mars bar to a drunken tramp but sees nothing wrong in busking without a licence and depriving legitimate street artists of their meagre income."
"Another day, desperate for cash, they try to find a cash machine in a pretty village. Moth is mistaken for the poet laureate, Simon Armitage, who is also walking the path somewhere, and treated with humour when he denies it."
