East of Lowestoft. Easton Bavents was once the most easterly parish in England. However, over the centuries, the promontory it stood on was eroded by the sea. EB is still losing land today: up to 5m a year in fact. 😯

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

Brexit wasn’t abstract, writes The Bear.

It stripped out the NHS’s stabilisers – staff, medicines, safety nets – and left us running on fumes.

Reform UK’s “Britain is Lawless” campaign isn’t about making you safer.

It’s about making you scared – and blaming migrants while they’re at it.
