The Sketch: Bercow must play his cards right
The Prime Minister declared there were many more small businesses now than this time last year. "Yes," my colleague in the Press Association said, "but last year they were all big businesses." That was better than anything said on the floor of the House, so there it is for the next thousand years of internet historians.

Rosie Waterhouse: Universities must take action on Muslim extremism
One cold lunchtime at City University London, 100 male Muslim students were praying in rows on the ground. Above on a balcony, a dozen female Muslim students, dressed in black and wearing the niqab – a veil covering their face apart from their eyes – handed out leaflets. These said they were demonstrating because the university had allocated a "multi-faith" space as their new prayer room. "It is impermissible for Muslims to offer prayers in a place where other than our Lord, Allah, is worshipped", it said.

The Welsh band Man are the closest Britain has come to the free-wheeling spirit of the psychedelic groups that came out of San Francisco in the mid-1960s, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Formed in Swansea in 1968, Man have gone through a multitude of line-ups, with Micky Jones, guitarist and founder member, the only constant.

Geoffrey Woolley: 'Times' Letters Editor whose pages helped set Britain's public agenda
For three decades, from the year of the coronation, 1953, until the period of the Falklands conflict in 1982, Geoffrey Woolley was a potent, if unseen and largely unknown, influence on British public life. As Letters Editor of The Times he was the final arbiter of what and whose letters were published, which were afforded prominence as lead-letters, and at what point any long-running, controversial correspondence should be terminated. Fifty and more years ago – before the emergence of The Independent, The Guardian, and the Today programme – letters to The Times played an almost exclusive role in setting the public agenda, and Woolley's judgement was pivotal. Above all he was fair to those with minority or dissenting opinions. Woolley refused to be pressured by anybody – least of all by MPs.

Reina provides welcome lift for awkward Lille task
Pepe Reina's timing reaches levels few sometimes see. Try watching the way the goalkeeper will place a cushioned, volleyed pass to his team-mates at Liverpool's training ground. "A couple of days ago in training, Stevie [Gerrard] asked for the ball and... Pepe volleyed it straight to him," the Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez, said yesterday. "He's very good with his feet, but a little bit better with his hands."

Friends of world leaders with a plan for Anfield
Liverpool fans have witnessed too many false dawns to harbour illusions about the latest possible saviours to be linked to their football club, but they can perhaps be forgiven that there is some serious money around this time. Rhone Group's senior partners include Robert Agostinelli, whose ex-wife Mathilde is a senior executive at Prada. He is an acquaintance of French president Nicolas Sarkozy and has spoken with deference about Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi. Both Agostinelli and Steve Langman, another partner at Rhone, have invested in the Republican presidential campaigns of John McCain and Rudy Giuliani.
