Dammit, retailers, when I search for “dressing gown” I do not want a selection of flannel bathrobes, I want the one Hercule Poirot wore in the first season of Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

Isn’t it wonderful to think that you could bring someone from 2000 years ago to visit their home today - and while so much has changed, to topography - and the very reason for its location - are still the same!

Broadly I would describe Keir Starmer's election strategy as legalising Nazi salutes in order to stop people voting for the "We love Nazi salutes" party.

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.
It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

They just did a #Pointless round about the Batttle of Hastings in which more than half the people surveyed couldn't name "_______ the Conqueror" and even fewer could say what year the battle took place.

You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter.
What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

✨From the archives: St Mary’s, Breamore in Hampshire, is one of the most complete late Anglo-Saxon churches we have — a building that’s held its ground for over a millennium. Here I photographed it with the Elizabethan Breamore House behind it, two eras folded into one view.
