DOMINIC LAWSON: Within days, we are told, the Government will 'decide' whether to award the Chinese firm Huawei the contract to develop and maintain this country's vital electronic network.

DOMINIC LAWSON: Lord Lucan is alive! Or so claims a building contractor called Neil Berriman. And why should we listen to Mr Berriman? Well, he is the son of the Lucan family nanny.

DOMINIC LAWSON: This was meant to be bad news, and in a way it is: Storm Ciara (easier to write than to pronounce) has swept across the United Kingdom.

DOMINIC LAWSON: Every year my sister gives me the same birthday present. Sorry, that's not fair: Nigella gives me a jumper, but each year it is one of a different colour.

DOMINIC LAWSON: So that's clear: it is absolutely unacceptable for anyone with eugenicist views to have a position of the slightest influence within British politics.

DOMINIC LAWSON: The 12th Baron Lucas inaugurated a debate asking the Government to ensure that at least half of toilet facilities in public buildings are available to women only.

DOMINIC LAWSON: The coronavirus sweeping the world can be traced back to a food market in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the new strain first transferred from wildlife to humans.

DOMINIC LAWSON: Johnson said in 2007 that Mayor Larry Vaughn was the true hero of the film Jaws: it was 'laudable' that he strove to help businesses in defiance of mounting hysteria.

DOMINIC LAWSON: As so often in her 68-year reign, the Queen gets it right. In her statement to the country on meeting the challenge of the coronavirus, she did not once use the word 'war'.

DOMINIC LAWSON: The founder of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong, invented a term for 'reactionaries' in the West who made threats against his regime. He called them 'paper tigers'.

DOMINIC LAWSON: Only a certain type engages in professional point-scoring in the midst of a pandemic. But Sir Paul Nurse, the Nobel prize-winning scientist, seems to fit that bill.

DOMINIC LAWSON: This wasn't supposed to happen. The British people have responded to a draconian lockdown with good humour and fortitude.

DOMINIC LAWSON: The decision to extend the lockdown has, unsurprisingly, intensified the complaint that 'shutting down the economy will cost more lives than the coronavirus'.

DOMINIC LAWSON: How mortifying to be complimented by a representative of the totalitarian regime now in the global dock for its conduct during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Locked-in Shirley Parsons (pictured) suffered a colossal haemorrhagic stroke from a clot on her brain in 2003. But she said she is happier than before her stroke, writes DOMINIC LAWSON.

DOMINIC LAWSON: Florence Widdicombe opened a pack of Tesco charity Christmas cards and found on one a note from a prisoner in China declaring that he had been forced to do this work.

DOMINIC LAWSON: We mustn't gloat about the public uprising in Paris. Some of it has involved setting fire to buildings. And there are some pretty unpleasant types among the demonstrators.

DOMINIC LAWSON: In the same spirit (or lack of it), Mr Farage at the weekend abandoned a scheduled return appearance on the Sophy Ridge On Sunday show.

DOMINIC LAWSON: Cameron's attempt to mix support for EU membership with the rhetoric of untrammelled national self-determination was fundamentally dishonest.

Who could forget one of the most controversial moments on Big Brother in recent years?

He's just completed a gruelling eight-week fitness challenge, impressing fans with his dramatic before-and-after transformation photos. 

He rose to fame on Big Brother in 2014, coming under fire at the time for falling for current girlfriend, Cat, despite reportedly having a long-term girlfriend outside of the house. 

Beyonce perched on an armrest as her mother Tina Lawson lounged in a chair at a Queen & Slim screening on Saturday.

Beyonce's mother Tina Lawson posted a smoldering throwback snap to her Instagram page this Tuesday. In the picture she was a young woman with a short hairdo and a strapless dress.

Beyonce's mother Tina Lawson revealed that the whole family have tested negative for coronavirus and so may reunite this weekend for Mother's Day. She is also the mother of Solange Knowles.
