We're in review mode this week. It is Christmas, after all... so here's our best efforts as 2013 draws to a close. Year in review Top ten agonising political gaffes of 2013 It's been a bumper year for gaffes. For some reason politicians found it very hard to keep their remarks acceptable - especially if they happened to be David Cameron or Godfrey Bloom. The Political Year Online: Five trolls of 2013 2013 was, truly, a great year for online attention-seeking. But who was the biggest loudmouth over the last 12 months? The Year According to Sean Dilley: Six picks of 2013 Broadcaster and general nuisance Sean Dilley rounds up the year with his highlights of 2013 - presenting an oddly positive note for, well, just about everyone. The top ten political scandals of 2013 An odd year for political scandals: some just arriving, others having a last hurrah. Here's our top ten... Xmas news Cameron does God in unflinchingly Christian Xmas message David Cameron has declared "Christians around the world" should be inspired by Anglican and Catholic reforms underway this year, in an unusually religious Christmas message. Judge's Xmas present to Denis MacShane: Six months behind bars for expenses theft Ex-minister Denis MacShane faces six months behind bars after being jailed for fake expenses claims. Real news US spy chiefs could do a deal with Snowden - to shut him up US intelligence chiefs are likely to do a "deal" with Edward Snowden which would result in an amnesty on the whistleblower, a former head of MI5 has predicted. Better late than never, Alan Turing is finally pardoned The man believed by many to be responsible for saving Britain from the Nazis has finally been granted a posthumous pardon, 59 years after his death. Comment: No room at the inn for sensible immigration policies Kneejerk anti-immigration rhetoric is ruling the day - and it's a very ugly kind of politics made even worse by the coalition's spending cuts agenda. Abandoned: Theresa May turns back on American-held terror suspect A man facing terrorism charges in the US who appealed for consular assistance was told he could not receive it because the home secretary had revoked his UK citizenship. Something inbetween From The Apprentice to parliament? No thanks, Karren Brady tells Tories TV star Karren Brady is firmly rebuffing a barrage of requests from local Conservative associations to become an MP. Simon Cowell hits back at Gove over 'stupid' row Simon Cowell has called education secretary Michael Gove "stupid" for not seeing the "positive side" of his suggestion that schoolchildren should be lazy.
