EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Why didn’t Ben Wallace run?<\/h2>\n

The mystery of why Defence Secretary Ben Wallace isn\u2019t running in the Tory leadership race, having topped a Conservative Home popularity poll, remains a talking point in the party. Like fellow Tory MP Kwasi Kwarteng, Wallace is a long-standing admirer of much-fancied Liz Truss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gary Lineker, once again the Beeb\u2019s most highly remunerated star on a \u00a31.35million salary, sought public sympathy last month by claiming he was the victim of racist jibes over his \u2018darkish skin\u2019. A reader who went to school with him in Leicestershire during the 1970s says he was teased \u2018but it had nothing to do with his skin colour. Just the size of his ears\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Boris Johnson\u2019s ex-mistress Petronella Wyatt observes: \u2018Rishi Sunak went on [leadership] manoeuvres a tad sooner than was seemly. You don\u2019t try on the becoming black veil before your husband is dead.\u2019<\/p>\n

Celebrating her 30th wedding anniversary with Conrad Black, Barbara Amiel, pictured with him, tells Rachel Johnson\u2019s podcast that marrying then media tycoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Black of Crossharbour, \u2018while it was a great love match, was the worst thing I could have done for my career. I went from being a columnist to being a \u201csocialite\u201d. Nothing is worse in life.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

As a socialite, Lady Black had to ring The Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore saying one of her dinner parties was \u2018short of a woman\u2019. He obligingly sent one of his journalists, Eleanor Mills. An hour later \u2013 hastily groomed and made up \u2013 Mills was sipping a pre-dinner drink in Black\u2019s Cottesmore Gardens mansion when, after a male guest had bowed out, she was told by Conrad: \u2018Finish your drink and skedaddle.\u2019<\/p>\n

Conrad Black, seen with his wife Barbara Amiel back in 2010, has celebrated his 30th wedding anniversary to Mrs Amiel\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tom Bower\u2019s forthcoming book Revenge, about Meghan Markle\u2019s war with the Windsors, comes out on July 23. A previous Bower tome about pop impresario Simon Cowell was titled Sweet Revenge. Modern publishers are so imaginative, aren\u2019t they<\/span><\/p>\n

Stoned age disc jockey David \u2018Diddy\u2019 Hamilton recalls in Record Collector compering a long ago show by the Rolling Stones: \u2018I parked my car at the back of the venue. Someone thought it was Mick Jagger\u2019s and scratched a love note on it. For a week I was driving round with \u201cI love you Mick\u201d on the bonnet.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Labour MP Tulip Siddiq says: \u2018I slipped into one of the small rooms in Parliament during votes to make a phone call and jumped when I noticed a Tory veteran in the corner hiding behind a chair. Like actually hiding. He said, \u201cI\u2019ve had 11 phone calls \u2013 11! And I\u2019m not endorsing any of them\u2026\u201d\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
