Now in Somerset. Go Bristol City! And Huddersfield Town. And Huddersfield Giants. And Congresbury Cricket Club. And Somerset, Yorkshire and Derbyshire County Cricket Clubs (not necessarily in that order).
Digital ID is potentially marvellous in a world of democracy and guard rails and Rule of Law (the world I grew up in). We no longer live in that world. In any case, Starmer wants a digital ID that discriminates and disqualifies. It's not about entitlement and access.

The brief illumination of the room looks genuine. Old house. Electrics probably flaky. The shadow is likely an artefact of the digital sensor. Knowing the spec of the camera would be interesting but, in terms of evidence, there's nothing here. Of course I'm still not convinced by Juan's testimony.

The Congresbury/Yatton junction is now "The best place to enjoy endless traffic delays outside Cornwall". Pundits say it's preferable as the nearby Yatton railway station allows enthusiasts to return home for a few days before returning to their vehicle refreshed and ready to enjoy further delays.

I watched it for two seconds after finally catching up with Super League (which BBC Sport almost never report on, bizarrely). Then I turned off the TV.

I don't understand why a Supreme Court ruling that says DOING something is NOT illegal is being interpreted universally as NOT DOING that same something IS illegal. Has everyone gone mad?

I can't remember the number of biros I've tried to run dry before I've inexplicably misplaced them. Basically all of them.

The problem the Labour Party has is that they're allowing the facts of the ruling, which is specific to the Equality Act, to be hijacked by various opposing self interest groups.

If we choose not to understand our own planet, we might as well not be human. We should give way to orangutans, dolphins and flying squirrels.
