Jeremy Hunt is poised to kick off his new role next month – as a football referee. The culture secretary was mocked after revealing he didn't know the offside rule, and said he would take a course in refereeing. Now he won't tell colleagues the location of his first fixture, a juniors' match in London. "He seems to think we'll use it as an excuse to simply ridicule him," one colleague tells the Express. Some might say that Hunt has a tougher fixture to deal with first – but will he dare give the red card to News Corp's BSkyB takeover?
